Default Cobalt SS in the 11's?

What would it take to get the Cobalt SS in the 11's? I plan to daily drive this car every day. But I want to be able to pull up to a c6 zo6 and beat it. Ive looked at some sites and I really cant find any parts for it. I was wondering if anyone here would know where to look and if they have any suggestions on the best way to get to my goals. This would be the 1st time I build a non ls1 type motor so this is new to me. If anyone has any info that would help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What a waste, even if you win you still are driving a cobalt and hes driving a vette.

The cobaly most likely wont stay together very long running that fast anyway.

Pay him to let you win and get it on video and post it on the Internet, you will feel like a true champ without spending a lot of $$. And all of the ricers in the 4banger world will admire you.

Sale the car and get a real care and call it Cobolt SS. That is the easiest way to get it in the 11's.
