Wow I'll bet the hair on your back stood up when you saw a Cobalt in your mirror, great kill, proud of you!!

The reason folks in lesser powered vehicles challenge HIGH PERFORMANCE vehicles is the same mentality as a small dog barking at a large dog. Looking for a reaction!!

Someday you'll value life a little more than driving 115.8909999 mph on the streets.

I'll bet on the Cobalt web page, J-Body, Delta Force, or Blown 2.0, this race reads like this: Me and dude were minding our own business when an *** CLOWN in his parents 98 T/A revvvvvvved on me. I was only behind by a couple of cars until I exited. I thought those T/A were quicker than that..

If you're really interested in seeing how a real Cobalt can run find the state of PA this week-end. There will be a minimum of three, two Yellow one Blue Cobalts that will just hand you your car keys. They are RWD, have one less gear than you, a little larger engine and will run the 1/4 mile in 6.7 seconds or less. Cobalts are fun to drive. They are not the fastest sled on the slope. But remember everyone doesn't drive like John Force. I've excepted that fact, good luck! I've experienced the thrill of beating RWD vehicles with a automatic FWD car - priceless!!

Once GM ditches the SC and goes turbo, it will be game on. Look at what some of the SKY and Solstice guys are doing. I just wish they would make a cobalt size car RWD with turbo 2.0. That would be kickin trash all day long for low bucks...

Don't let it bother you, find someone to read it to you.

Step #1 read original post. If you can remember that read all the posts. If you can't, skip to mine.

See if you can figure this out? I'll bet your parents were when you wanted to move away from home. now.

It would have taken them about two miles to catch up to my 115 by the speed they were trying to catch me at. I've driven those cars, not impressed. Sadly, A little old lady going about 60 boxed me in and the retards drove past two lanes over. (in the traditional ricer mentality "If I pass you, EVEN if you slow down, I beat you" I might add) All I can do is sigh. If I could have talked, I might have told them i has better races with HONDAS!!!!!
Good job,you offically pulled a domestic flyby.

S R T 4 = IL4 banger
Low 12's = Descent Pass

Well Most people compare cars to cars of the same build
Camaro vs Mustang
STi vs EVO
Cobalt vs S R T 4

Well depending on that year and model the Camaro & Mustang have battled back and forth. The STi and EVO have been a drivers race since day one. Now the Cobalt vs the S R T 4 is a one sided race and always has been. Stock for stock the Dodge wins in every category. Modded and the gap widens. GM has the block to beat Dodge but for some reason they just keep holding back. There is so much crap you can by for the neons it reminds me of the Ford 302ci from the late 80's. Last Sunday I run my car at a SCCA event and 2 neons there both ran better times then me. I manager a 39.54 and they both hit high 38's. FOD ran a 35.6. The only dumb thing Dodge did went it came to the neon was discontinue it.

the mustang has NOTHING on the camaro, its pathetic................of course this doesnt go for SVT vehicles

With all the supporting mods he should be able to hit low to mid 300 wheels.

Awesome kill.
He should have bought a better car. I won't give him credit for being a douchebag and doing a flyby on me and not expecting me to show his little A$$ up.

Nooo no, haha. I didnt mean that 14's was quick, I said some of those things are quick, and that a local guy went low 14's. You have to run low 13's anymore just to keep up with the damn family sedans it seems.

I hope you are not actually in your 60's.
You have multiple subjects in each paragraph you write yet they seem to have no actual point.
Its like a rambling 16 year old who just acquired his 1st car and found the internet.

If anyone wants some entertaining "deep thoughts" by old dog, search his posts and get some

That smiley gave me a flashback of a horrible LT1 memory. There's nothing more embarassing than dropping off two ladies, shutting the ignition and escorting them to their door, then walking back to your car to crank it, only to find that it barely held idle and died 3 seconds later.

Boy was I embarassed. Of course, this happens after I explained how badass the LT1 TA was compared to the rampant rice in the Seattle area.

By the grace of God, after cranking that engine countless times, I was able to convince the car to "roll" home at 15-20mph, misfiring the entire 5 miles.
