smoked a tb SS !!!!!
 
okay guysss!!! this is not what i expected... but my friends friend has a trailblazer SS, full exhaust(catless), long tube headers, CAI, and tune. idk what else it had. and my 2010 cobalt SS (non G85)all it has is injen CAI and trifecta tune... we did a couple runs. i wish i recoreded it... i was by myself, he had 1 passenger(my friend). from a dig we are pretty much even, he is AWD so he pulls off the line a bit faster than me... but i stay about 3 car lengths behind him, but i dont go any farther back and after a while i was starting to creep back up and before i passed him we slowed down, (but i was catching up!! lmaoo) . and off a roll i smoke him easy.....!!! for the money i payed, and he paid... i am extremely pleased... also he is averaging 15 mpg, i am averaging 25 mpg... lol

EDIT

race was on a closed course

It's heavy' I can take my dads 6.2l Denali with my stock Balt... It's close though. SUVs need 400hp min' then they seem fast ish

damastah 05-22-2011 09:43 PM

its crazy... these lil 2.0s are quick as shhhh!!! when we pulled off a 30mph roll, i was spinning tires in second gear, and im still in front of him... but he was right behind me the whole time... but still. lmaooo i love these things!

cmatthewb101 05-22-2011 09:45 PM

I wouldn't brag too much. It's a 4700lb SUV. Quick for a SUV, but not blazing fast by any means.

hahahaah yeaa i mean i guess... but he is running mid 13s... but his V8 sounds 100 times better than our I4s... im sorry. lmaoo... i guess i will brag when i beat a bmw x5m which weights 5200+ pounds and 0-60 in 4 seconds flat. fastest SUV?

wow... i raced a 2011 ferrari califronia... he smoked me. but it was a bit damp, and we were both spinning tires

troyss 05-22-2011 10:11 PM

So you beat him on a roll and he beat you on a dig? How the hell you consider you smoking him?

i meann.... he even admitted if we went farther the first time, i would have caught up and passed him... we only went up to about 90 mph? i was still in third closing the gap between us... but yea your right i didnt smoke him... but i did beat him. :D

05vue-redline-06ion 05-22-2011 10:47 PM

Yeah but he's rolling in a luxury people mover lol. TB/SS's can be nasty with a little time and effort.

Mark Aubele 05-23-2011 08:25 AM

Brb, buying a car that runs high 13's bone stock, modding it, then brag about beating an SUV that is slower.

Darkside 05-23-2011 09:25 AM

Tell him to put in a stall converter and you won't even sniff him from a dig.

Gremlin85 05-23-2011 10:14 AM

Was it AWD or RWD?

It's all about power to weight, too ;)

Nice kill though!

DirtyBalt09 05-23-2011 01:58 PM

A stock TB SS can hit upper mid 13s. Sure it's a big heavy suv but still a fast ride for what it is. Also @ 90 mph the actual distance covered wouldn't even be a quarter mile. But no surprise AWD pulled a FWD car off the line. A Cherokee SRT though is so much better than the TB SS though as far as sporty suv those things are fast.

I'm a die-hard chevy guy but those SRT Jeep's are sweet ..... they have the looks as well as the performance . The TB/SS was quite a bit cheaper IIRC... base model to base model...... but if your already spending 35K on a truck ........might as well spend 40 and get the total package :guns:.

SSSnoop 05-23-2011 08:35 PM

The TB can be a killer when the mods are set on "kill" (I have one in my neighborhood who's a complete sleeper - somebody you'll never want to meet at a stop light). It sounds like what it should have been - beating him on a roll, but getting edged slightly from a dead stop. Good job!

redcobalt07 05-23-2011 08:36 PM

cool story

gotboost?17 05-23-2011 08:44 PM

damastah 05-23-2011 10:06 PM
