If you really care about course then u bought the wrong car , buy an evo or sti then comeback with that statement

 

yea...get something awd for corners, or a lotus, not a cobalt lol

 

ummm your flat out wrong if you inferring that the cobalt SS doesn''t have awesome handling and not to mention those big ass brembos won't fade to much.

The new 2008 Cobalt SS actually set a new track record at Nuremberg, here is a youtube link to a awesome video of a pro taking it out at nuremberg ( might be same guy who set the record with it, hes good driver) He has nothing but good things to say while hes driving through the course, about the car of course.

hey man Im with you and badss/sc all the way. Dont waste your fingers anymore. the problem is we are on a cobalt site and heaven forbid there is something out there faster then a cobalt, no one wants to listen. Dont waste you time man. And by the way you srt4 is one of the cleanest Ive seen in a while. I had a guy show up to my shop a couple of days ago and he flat out destroyed his srt4 it was pretty damn fugly. Only thing he has going is he is ready to pay me to make it go fast.

 

ummmm.. we are not talking about which is faster dude.. we are talking about straight line vs road course ...... l2read

 

thanks for the complement bro, and by the way you have nice float of nice cars on your sig. Where is ur shop located at. how do u like your evo? I really LOVE the new evo eventhough must people say is not as fast as the IX but sure it looks way better

 

i guess its hard for u to admit, for about 2 grand in the caliber, and 2 grand in a cobalt...

caliber > cobalt

 

soo sooo true...lol i dont see a cobalt gettin close to or 400whp netime soon...at least not for the same amount of money...

 

You're comparing a 2.4L to a 2.0L, of course the CSRT is going to have more kick for the money. Whoever said should've gotten an EVO or STi for the road courses.....wow. Yes, they are great contenders but you do know that the cobalt ss/tc is proven to be a fantastic corner carver, right? Pretty sure the CSRT would have a bit of a problem around the track having to lug the size and shape of it around. Not saying it's not quick or decent looking but Cobalt SS/TC ~20k, EVO or STi ~35-40k......the cobalt is a damn good deal for any use. fiscal got it for the right reason, it's an inexpensive car that can hold it's own on a drag strip or a road course. It's not the fastest car, but in the right hands, it'll beat a good amount of it's competition. ****, I know a guy that takes his fox body out to the road course and tears it up while passing cars that should be passing him.

 

your a waste of time, thats why Im done typing to you directly, your a fanboy, go have fun, I never once, said your name in the post you refered too, and actually never asked for your opinion, thanks though. I dropped a few IQ points listening to more of your jiberish

pittsburgh, PA is where the shop is.

I owned a fully built 05 MR evo. Last dynon before I sold we put down 670 on 93 oct and meth. But honestly as fast as the old evo was compared to the new evo. The X has way more handling potential and sson enough Ill have the shop X at way more straight line potential too. And yeah, its one mean looking car, you cant be\at a car that is fast and looks angry off the lot. Tahnks for the comps man

 

i just want to know how your posting fizzy fizz about how amazing a turbo balt is when i doubt youve even seen 1. every1 just sit back and wait 2 weeks ill have track and street vids of this race, waiting for my friends srt4 to get his short throw intact then we will go...and the trap speed mine was 13.8 @ 107 mph..noo im no noob ive raced many cars. if you want to see if im a lieing/noob over exaggerator ask around. no i dont still have my slip post pics next time if you wanna call me a liar, @ engishtown on 7/22. made 2 passes that day 14.2 @103 (didnt hook) and 13.8 @ 107

 

What was your 60's? Not calling you a liar, just wanting to connect the times with your launches. Impressive times.

 

if i remember it was a 2.2 and 2.16. not really impressive still had a little wheel hop on the 2nd launch. hoping 13.5-13.6 bone stock

 

Should be a fun ride to see if you can make it there. Stock tires as well? I'll be taking mine to the track to get some times as well as soon as I get around 1000/2000 miles on it.

 

hehe, its all good. After I start modding this bad boy we will see what everyone has to say. After everyone starts maxing out that tiny turbo in the SS/TC, and Im running well into 400 horsies without a turbo swap, we will see.

And just so everyone knows, one of the members on the caliber forums Im at beat a 6.0l GTO on the highway with just a CAI and turbo back. Really puts in perspective how crappy the stock intake and exhaust is on these cars...

When I throw on my exhaust, and change out my airbox I will race my stage 2 friend and post the vids.

Hes an idiot. He doesnt even own a TC yet and he already thinks its better than everything out there.

The 0.4l is not the reason the CSRT4 makes more power. It has a neon SRT4 stage 3 turbo in it stock.

Thats why it makes more power than the tiny dual scroll turbo in the SS.


Straight line: CSRT4 > SS/TC
Twisties: SS/TC > CSRT4

And that pretty much sums up how it works.

 

I know that part! lol I was mentioning that for the modding factor. The CSRT will pick up more ponies with mods due to the bigger displacement anyway. I've yet to see any up here but I do like the way they look a lot!

 

Yeah, and the EVO X is nearly twice as much as the Cobalt SS and the insurance is the highest of any car in its class!

Apples and oranges anyone?

And none of the above will make it look good...

Not that the Neon was a looker, but Chrysler fucked up with the decision to make the SRT4 based on the Caliber platform...

 

Well if AWD was the end-all way to go every sports car would be doing it. But I'm sure we can all name a TON of genuine sports cars in many different price ranges that are RWD such as 350Z's... Corvettes, Vipers, NSX on up to Ferrari's... Heck even the McLaren F1 which is supposed to be the ultimate driving machine is RWD. Then you have the Bugatti Veyron which is AWD and makes a crapload of power but it's also a pig... a pig on steroids.

Then you look at dragsters, NASCAR, F1... I mean all kinds.

In LeMans you see AWD quite a bit but they don't always win.

I mean when you are spending that kind of money if AWD had the hands down, clear cut edge, those cars would have it, guaranteed.

FWD is certainly not ideal but they've come a long way. A properly set up RWD can keep pace and/or mop the floor with an awd. Lots of variables... drivers being a big one.

 

One of best friends has an evo x. I think I might try and bug him for a race once I get my ss/tc (will be by the end of next week if I don't have to order it).

 

What's your definition of "smoking the **** out of"? The SS/TC with a good driver would beat a CSRT4 with a good driver about 1-2 cars at the most. That is a close race. When I hear someone got smoked in a race, I assume it's at least 10 cars.......some of you guys need to stop the ricer mentality.

 

Yeah I think it would be really close. Drivers being equal... probably closer than two cars. >IMO

 

Its a nice looking car. I just painted the headlights on mine black and it looks VERY NICE. You have to black out the cheesy headlights and tail lights.

I will post pics tomorrow.

 

actually i ran @104.96 and am not alone

 

Well...my friend is a Dodge enthusiast to say the least, we always get in fun little arguments. After driving my car and test driving a Csrt4, he now wants an ss/tc. That's saying a lot from someone who will pretty much tattoo MOPAR on his ass.

 

before he makes a mistake, make sure you tell him 350 HP on the stage 1 kit, and 300 whp from exhaust and intake for the CSRT4...
