how would this turn out? lets hear some thoughts

 

Cobalt SS hands down. It weighs about 1000 lbs less...and looks better, which isn't saying much...

Mechanical LSD is also an advantage.

 

ss/tc???

2.4<srt cali

ss/tc>str4 cali

 

It's a 2008, there are only TC SSs now, the 2.4s are "Sport"s

 

yes, the turbo...i gotta race an srt4 caliber tonight and i wanna know what the deal is with them lolz

 

they suck and are ugly as hell. Youll win

 

Make sure he is stock - you should win.

 

all he has is a BOV

 

well he probably has the mopar BOV plate, to make it sound like an aftermarket valve. If he has an aftermarket BOV, I would check a little closer cause I would bank on his not being stock

Stock for stock, the cobalt is slightly faster but it will be a drivers race

 

i know that but people need to be more specific ss or ss/sc or ss/tc, i only gues ss/tc cause its in the LNF section

 

That would be a good enough clue to not ask the question...

 

Save the peanuts for the circus...... clown.

 

ss/tc.... drivers race tho... but if u put 2 highly skilled drivers in each car the T/C would win... caliber weighs alot but they come with like a stage 2 turbo all ready so they still have some getty up

 

O really?



On the dyno the Caliber proved it's got the power. We measured 281 hp and 261 lb-ft of torque — numbers that pretty much establish it as underrated from the factory.

Mustang GT vs CSRT4

Standing ź mile………………13.8 sec @ 102 mph
110mph………………16.5 sec
120mph………………20.1 sec
130mph………………26.1 sec
Street start 5-60………5.9 sec

On a SRT-4 Caliber they tested, it preformed the following.
Standing ź mile………………14.4 sec @ 103 mph
110mph………………16.8 sec
120mph………………20.0 sec
130mph………………26.2 sec
Street start 5-60………6.7 sec

CSRT4 trapped higher than the GT. Roll race, you will lose. From a dig, it will be close. Most run low 14's stock. One guy is running ~300 Hp to the wheels from an exhaust and drop in filter only.

Its got a big turbo, bigger than the SS/TC. You better be careful.

 

some people dont post in right sections..

 

This is true...but would anyone seriously be stupid enough to think that a 2.4 could actually run with an SRT-4?

 

MAKE sure u practice ur launches. If you can out launch him, you should get it.

when is this going on? Id like to see the outcome.

 

I test drove a caliber srt 4 and a TC. I now own the cobalt TC. So you know which I liked better. The calibers storage area was surprisingly small for a hatch. It also had TERRIBLE torque steer. Also the financing for the srt was terrible around 8-9%

 

He said 2008 ss. Thats as specific as you need. Your wrong just admit it and get on with it.

 

yeah, i wanted one for a while, then i sat in one at the dealership while my friend bought a Hemi Magnum. it wasnt as great as i thought. also my friends Magnum is 3 months old, has 2200 miles and has been in the shop 5 times. screw Dodge they make **** cars.

 

they're called n00bs

 

All you guys talk about is straight line acceleration...

 

Alright...like stated above...he does say 08 SS...

 

its gonna be from a roll so im prolly going to get beat eh?

 

Nope - "2008 SS" is enough to know it is an LNF. There are no SS Cobalts that are 2.4 anymore. They have been renamed. That was my point, ........... The OP was clear enough, IMHO.
