Ok i have an 06 supercharged cobalt. Completely stock nothing done to it at all. Maybe an air freshner lol. I used to take it to the track every now and then. I ran 14.8's consistantly. Even with wheel spin. And my buddy has an 05 with an exhaust and a cold air. I beat him by like 4 cars everytime. I'm keeping up with stage 2 cobalts and stage-2 srt-4's. Can anyone tell me why this is. It cant be just the driver can it.

It can be the driver, and the fact that all cars have different HP levels. I have seen stock SS/SCs make the power of a stage 2 SS/SC so it's possible. 14.8s are pretty typical of stock SS/SC though.

Really. i was told that up in colorado with how high up we are in sea level they should only make like 15.2 or 15.3 passes.

 

agreed. 14.8 is a typical time of a stock LSJ....you must be racing some bad drivers...

 

its teh air freshener.

 

X2

 

14.8 isnt exactly amazing. not bad, but not stellar. and your taking stg 2 srt's? something isnt right.

 

Check for any stickers, each one is a 100whp gain.

 

air freshener

 

Recreational drugs.

No, but honestly your friend probably can't drive. I've seen stock SS/SCs run 14.5's and lower.

 

you could improve your times even more if you get really pissed off right before you make a pass lol

 

^lmao

 

whats your elevation in CO?

 

run the same cars from a roll buddy... come back with a war story...

 

probably bad drivers

 

It's the air freshener man!!

 

are you sure its stock? does the pulley on the supercharger have bolts on it?

 

I wonder if maybe the elevation is just affecting their cars more then yours?

 

I think its you;re buddy's driving skills.

Oh and I think you're the first person to ever describe a stock SS as "so fast" haha. I believe when I first got mine I made a thread describing that it was slower than i expected haha

 

yeah, your friends definitely suck at driving hahah. i am one of those cars that made the same power as stage2's(although never races any) and went 14.2@100 stock....14.8(while respectable) isn't that amazing.

i'ld like to see some videos here

 

Depending on where he is running in Colorado the elevation at Bandimere Speedway is about 5860'.This is on the western side of the Denver area against the foothills.

 

okay. so that would equally hinder all cars. which means he still should not be beating them. nondrivermod ftw hahah

 

hahaha, this is funny.

Seriously op, I think ur cobalt may have some surprises under the hood. From a roll u should not be taking those cars. From a dig it should be even.

race from a roll and see what happens
