found this on SF.

 

Kind surprised by this. Did he have any additional things done to the SpecV?

 

i'm sure that spec-v was turbo'd

 

Sounded like the car they were in is what was turbo. Must of been a stock or mildly modded 2.4 vs decently modded spec v. I put 2-3 cars on them by the end of the 1/8th with same mods.

 

yea i think your right about the car doing the taping.. but for a spec v to put a lead on by that much that person must have had a decent mod list

 

carr doing the taping sounded like a subi

 

auto2.4 most likely. wow slow

 

that spec-v wasn't necessarily modded too much...i hate to admit it, but a friend of mine has a spec-v and it keeps close behind with my ss/sc....so if he can somewhat run with the sc then he would def put a lead on a 2.4

 

forgot to mention his is bone stock...sorry

 

what the hell kind of race was that

based on the fart can alone on that spec v I refuse to believe it was heavily modified

 

Guy at work has a SPec V---with exhaust and computer tune---I ahve the SRI (and waster of money, does nothign tune) We raced half dozen times---0.1-0.2 faster for me and 1.5mph.

We have much more high rpm pull.

 

i like the comments they left on SF site, i see there SS/SC fans :

 

I gotta agree as an ex spec v owner i ran 15.2's all day off intake and catback

 

They are still slower then the 2.4's. Not by much but they still are a little behind. A guy at the track said they were a heavy little car. whats the weight of the spec v?

 

they weigh about 2750lbs and run 15.4's stock

 

a spec v is a faster car stock than a stock ss 2.4 but if you look closer at the vid the cobalt looks like a 4 door? is it? not that it rly matter since the spec v is also. but it might explain that beating a lil better to someone who might think its a coupe

 

not sure who should really win, but I am sure of the fact that having a limited slip, close raito 6 speed and 2-3 mor hp&tq makes the spec-V a worthy opponent for a base SS. If I were forced to place a wager on a stock vs. stock race with perfect driving, I'd have to put money on the Nissan.

 

oh and their top speed is north of 135mph

 

I drive a 2.4 auto and I've jumped off a start about three times faster than than.
You have to start in Low gear and shift up to I when the low gear tops out in second. I'm surpised that he didn't pull faster at the higher gears. It would be nice to see what the speedo on the chase car was saying, but I'm sure one of the geeks here can figure out their speeds the measuring the times it takes for the cars to cross the yellow median strips with a mathmatical formula. That's not my bag baby
