well someone i knew just got a turbo cobalt 08 and we raced and were neck and neck every race no one was pulling.although that was with him shifting...still i feel pretty good with my mods if i can run the same as them

 

Yes but he is stock.

 

yea i know but i had another head in the car and i'm still happy with that

 

which means you might pull on him if you did it without the passenger

 

wait till he starts modding it... he will put in half the money you out into ur car and rape S2 cobalts.... no offense of course. just stating what is now almost a fact.

^once tuning becomes available of course.

 

^^^This is true. Stock for stock, we already know the ss/tc owns. Stage 2 may be able to hang with the stock ss/tc, but it definitely won't stay that way for long.

 

who cares there both slow and get no respect.

 

so 13 second cars are slow?

yea i realize that but i'm not going to buy a new turbo since i already have this, i mean this car runs great so im happy with as fast as it is...hell put slicks on it at the track and probably run low 13,s

 

I wanna play with a turbo balt!

 

ha i'm sure he was real happy to hang with me for him being stock

 

The SS/TC's torque curve is all fugged up. It peaks at like 3200 RPM's and drops off big time between 3200 and the red line. Once he opens up the airways a bit more it won't even be close...

 

well see

 

Either way, props to you for hanging with one

 

I don't know about what torque curves you have seen.... my car hits over 210 ft/lbs at 2000 rpm and rises all the way to my 7400 rpm redline ( to my 260 ft/lbs!)

 

sorry fixed it! I meant the SS/TC

 

Does the ss/tc have 260whp or just 260crank hp? Because I have 270whp...I don't see why they would be an issue? Is it because they have more torque?

 

That's why there is stage 3

 

I don't see why everyone thinks they will have a problem taking a ss/tc if they are staged 2. As I said above, do they have 260whp or 260crank hp, because as is now im at 270whp.

 

its crank hp but they have 260 tq to the wheels... so say 240/260 are their ratings as a stage 2 have 240+/230+ so yah i think people will get owned

 

hmm i dunno, im staged 2 and have 270.8whp and 212.33tq. I don't think it would be close, even from a roll, also that run was without meth and i am on the stock gm stage 2 tune.

 

260 BHP from what i know

 

thats what we call a happy dyno

 

QFT iv been on this site a long time and have never seen tht from a S2 lol

 

No one has seen stage II cars hitting 13.5s and trapping 108 like me either but it has been done...by me and others.

Congrats to the OP for keeping up or staying even. If you think about it, GM came out with the SS/SC quickly to hang with the other companies. For the money, the SS/SC was a good buy and now they improved where they could just like they should. The new SS/TC is going to be better then the SS/SC. I would own one if it wasn't for them keeping the same weak tranny. Why would I buy a SS/TC, throw slicks on it with mounts and shread gears.

 

It really isn't a happy dyno. I dyno'd stock with just the stage 2 nothing else at 245.9 whp I believe. Added the rest in my sig and generally hit 260s, but we did a 4th gear pull and had a random spike of 270whp. But, my normal average pull without meth, my first pull in 3rd gear was 264.6whp and 217.17tq.

I have the dyno sheets to prove it. I think thats pretty on par with the mods in my sig, again the 264.6 and 217.17 was without meth and the first pull.

It was done on a dynomite dyno.
