cobalt ss tc vs 6.0 gto
 

Hey guys I just bought a 09 ss tc it came with aftermarket charge pipe and Hahn 3" exhaust and as far as I can tell that's all but I'm pushing 18+ psi so I think it might be tuned also but I have no clue. Last night I pulled up on a 6.0 gto going 50 (I'm in 5th and I have 4 ppl total in the car). He looks over and motions to punch it, he guns it and I throw it in 3rd and floor it. He got a little head start but I quickly got to him and started walkin on him I shift to 4th and still walkin on him but once we hit 5th he started gaining and his nose got a few feet in front of mine and we hit 130 and both slowed down. I had no idea I would have done that well even if I was the only one in the car. Anyone else that has a stock ss tc race a 6.0 stock? If so what was the outcome? Just trying to get a comparison so I can try and find out if the car is tuned or not. Without spending money that is lol

Sounds like u went into 5th to soon. You should of walked him all the way. If his is stock he shouldnt catch you.

with 4 people in the car too.... i dont know that sounds like the gto needs a driver mod or something....

Especially only being on 18 psi

ya not sure about that one..

You are most likely tuned. Those things breathe pretty well up top and if you did that well with four people, you have to be tuned.

I know it's been higher than 18, I only checked once when I was already in 3rd going 40. Just hit it for a few seconds and saw that it made it to 18 when I braked. So I'm sure I wasn't at my peak.

I literally just bought the car so I haven't tested it out all the way yet. Im going to go see how high I can get the psi to get and I'll post it to see what you think

I pulled a a fender on one from a 40 roll when i was stock so anything is possible..

I might have. I'm still a beginner driver. Ive had trucks my whole life so this is still
Fairly new.

Sweet, you know what psi you were running?

IDK 15-16 it was bone stock

What part of Texas you in?

South side of Houston.

Oh ok I was hitting 18+

hav a few friends w them they pretty beefy up top. but with the weight diff, n him being stock (maybe) im not surprised

I am also (Pearland/Alvin). We should hook up!

Sounds cool PM me sometime

I actually own a 06 gto n a 09 ss/tc bone stock to bone stock i'd have to say the gto feels faster but run close to the same 1/4 mile et's but with less mods the gto can go quicker than the SS. So I and leaving the SS close to stock for mpg/reliability reasons plus its my DD, and the GTO is close to 530chp so its a weekend warrior n Im glad to meet my new Cobalt family
