Go race and report back. I hate to bring up magazines......but Car and Driver got a 15.1 for an auto V6 'Stang. Now maybe that was an anomally.......or not. Still you have a better hp/weight ratio

It's like every 100lbs is supposed to equal a tenth in the quarter mile. Something like that but I could be wrong.

Definately post results... I'm betting that you'll smoke it. the 4.0 is a decent engine... but after that thing gets out of 1st gear it should be all over. Cobalt has a definate weight advantage. Take out your spare tire and drop your tire pressure by 5PSI or so... should get you a small advantage.

They're fairly heavy so i'd say you should take it.

i Raced and 02 celica gts last night. We did an 20 roll on an highwayup to about 110 and he pulled me by about 4 or 5 cars. I was like wtf! It was an sad day for cobalts because i lost. I knew something was up when we were in an parking lot and he called me out. He said it was all stock untill we raced. Then i found out it had an 50 shot of zex on it. When i get my header and ecu tune and my 75 shot im gonna go hunting for that bastard and show him whats up.

Im gonna get zex its supposed to be the safest from what ive heard?? But i only want it so i can hang with the big dogs so i will only use it prolly once a week if that. If i think ill use it more than that ill prolly just go with an 50 shot.

don't race with friends! I get a nice shove back when I redline 2nd and shift into third. Hard to imagine some low reving V6 gaining on the top end but oh well. Ditch the people and go again!

The Celica GTS is a 4. High revving like a VTEC honda very good top end. Avro. I think you are thinking of an Eclipse GTS.
