1/4th in 14.1 seconds?

0-60 mph performance in approximately 5.7 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in approximately 14.1 seconds https://www.cobaltss.net/cobalt_ss_turbocharged

I was afraid of this. Anyone think 13’s would be within reach with some good mods that help translate more of that power to the road? (ie: smaller tires and so on)

I certainly think so . My supercharged car went 14.3 dead stock and 14.0 with a air filter . I would be pretty baffed if the LNF car couldnt better that .

No clue how intrusive the no lift shift thing is gonna be . For someone like me who powershifts , it may be somewhat of annoyance (?) I just gotta assume the launch control and the no lift are gonna be real conservative . From reading the info , it sounds like both are tied with Stabilitrak , which in this car can be 100% turned off .

If all of the babysitters can be removed with a tuner I assume the SS/TC would be alot quicker.


Look at the GXP and Redline they have the launch abilities of RWD and the best out of those so far is what 13.89?

Here's a question, is it going to be a return fuel line or is it the same? I didnt see anything on there about it.

I really thought that it was going to be at least high 13's stock, I'm a little disappointed.

look at how fast the ms3 went and it weighs more and apparently has horrible boost limitations in 1st 2nd and 3rd gear

thats right we'll be fine. Loosh on here went 13.6 in his ms3 with a boost controller and no cat and he has the same turbo the cobalt will come with plus his boost still drops from 18 to 15 at redline PLUS there car is heavier then the cobalt. ANy way if you read the cobalt is going to come with a launch control on it.....

x2, I was hoping to see 13.8ish stock. But I do think that 13's will be easily obtained, much easier compared to the ss/sc.
