My buddy has a 500+hp 350Z that screams around the tracks. He has eaten a fair share of vettes and vipers. not sure how much he has invested, but he grins everytime he steps out of his car. That is worth it.

Actually if you read most of the thread fwd was mentioned alot in the conversation. It was the whole point behind me including ANY in my original post that you quoted, where i also continued to talk more specifically about the cobalt praying for traction with 500hp (hence useless in a street car)....
Make sure you are accurate before you jump down peoples throats.

The ambiguity in your post left the door open for my reply.

This car has enough trouble getting traction stock, let alone with more than double the power. I would be surprised if with 500 hp you could get traction with any tire that fits on the car stock.

The Cobalt would need some good slicks rather then the pizza cutter stock wheels but yes it is possible.
