i dont know if this has been posted, but what do people think that out come would be...

 

i don't know anyone with an ecotecH<<<<< I have an ECOTEC.

 

you lose.

 

if u know how to drive like myself u should beat it, ive taken one out already.

 

my buddy just got one. automatic RS 200hp, and he weighs like 340 pounds
heres why i think i can win

http://videos.streetfire.net/search/...FCCFC19E7C.htm

 

The 3800 Camaro would win. 5 more hp and about 70lbs-ft. Mid 7 sec car to 60mph I beleive.

 

well the video just proved u wrong man, u can clearly see, its gonna be the same race
im driving the cav and hes driving the atuomatic v6
he cant do n e thing different then hit the gas

 

i think you posted this under 2.2l performance and not war stories where it should be.

nonetheless, welcome.

 

My friend Chip has a Auto Camaro, no idea whats in it, but I actually pulled a bumper on him...

 

I dont own a 2.2l ( got a 2.0L) but i do know that if its an automatic RS you should easily beat it. I Had a standard one and i got smoked by my friends 04 RSX-S. If you guys can keep up with an rsx-s. Then you should be able to beat the camaro, especially if its auto.

 

no mildy modded 2.2's here can keep up with an rsx-s

 

93-95 ( a few 96's) had 160hp 3.4L. A 2.2L 5 speed could easily take one.

95-02 200hp 225lbs-ft 3.8L

I still have my doubts about a 3800 V6 Camaro though. I have road tests and they say the 2.2L goes down.

 

well i dont know what avro is smoking cuz ive beaten my friends 00 rs camaro by a good car and a half length. those camaros may have more power but they also weigh alot more than our cars. he can throw it down into 3rd and catch up a little but i dont think that would do the trick.

 

thanks guys, i just came home, and i raced the guy and i beat him by 2 cars, we are doing it again tommorom night, and ill make sure i get a vid
ciao

 

speak for yourself buddy

a bad driver would make it all the more possible

I could see it with a good driver in the 2.2

Z24 get that video up I'd like to see it

 

Good kill! Go kill him again tonite!

 

racing isnt just about the car, its about the driver
ive beaten a few cars that are definitely faster
i took out a camaro v6, but the driver wasnt very good, it all depends

 

we are talking about an Acura RSX-S right? you know the one thats jus slightly slower than a RL and SS/SC

and a mildly modded (as in intake & exhaust) 2.2 can run with one? if thats true I better put on my helmet and go out hunting.

 

told ya man. good kill, lemme see this vid now.

 

are we talking about a win because a driver sucks?

Or given the same driver--you say a 2.2L can beat a 3800 A4 Camaro?

Has anyone even got a 2.2L into the 15's yet?

 

Im going april 22nd to byron dragway. I'm going to see what mods I can get by then, and see how I pan out there . I would love to get some kind of 15.

 

I might be late in this conversation but this is my opinion...

Cobalt should win if he can drive well

1. Camaro weighs significantly more
2. V6 Versions are usually underpowered compared to what they are equipped with (meaning not enough power for the vehicles they put them in)
3. Automatic Transmission = More drivetrain loss. So on top of being underpowered, he's losing more power to the wheels than a manual version would
4. RWD losses more power to the wheels than FWD vehicles

 

How do youu measure "underpowered". A 3800 V6 Camaro makes 225lbs-ft of torque. Thats more then the S/C SS.

Check out the hp to weigh ratio.

2800/145= 19.3lbs per hp for a Cobalt

3400/200= 17lbs per hp for the Camaro.

Magazines got 7.7 to 60mph with an auto 3800 Camaro

You other points are valid.

I will say even the 2.2L should have more top end pull then the 3800--it could make gains there.

 

avro quit hating on the cobalts and supporting the slomaros. your telling me u think a auto camaro is faster than our manual 2.2L cobalts? and dont tell me ur not cuz u wouldnt be so defensive then.

 

there was a video posted up here awhile ago...of a stock 2.2 sedan with a stick running a 15.8.....I believe it was on streetfire..I dunoo....I'm honestly to lazy right now to go and look for it....but with a good driver u could dip into the high 15's....otherwise low 16's for an average driver.
