Cobalt SS VS. Rabbit GTI
 
Who would be the victor?

BACK2GM Jun 29, 2007 03:05 AM

GTI>>>>>2.4 the arrows represent the car lenghts you will lose by.

SredS Jun 29, 2007 03:14 AM

yeah buts it a rabbit gti, not just a straight up gti or are they the same

anyway it doesnt matter, one of my friend's brothers has one and it was just curiousity.

there's no 0-60 times for it either


oh well, one things for sure, the base rabbit'll get it's hind legs broken

BACK2GM Jun 29, 2007 03:24 AM

The Rabbit is the hatchback model and there is different levels
base Rabbit,2.5 v6 Rabbit and GTI. I think the GTI is still just GTI.

I like the GTI's. I just have always thought the taillights are booty. Just tint those and you're good to go. Even in auto trim those things are fun as hell. I drove an auto black GTI today at work again, damn, those are dope!

So which is it? A Rabbit or a GTI....it can't be both, there is no "Rabbit GTI". If it's a Rabbit, you're good, there's only one motor and it's 150hp, you'll spank it. If it's a GTI you better hope he's a really bad driver cause that's the only way you'll win.

i REALLY wanna trade in my 2.4 for a GTi but i would loose like 7k$ :(
i want one in white :)

ironkoijak Jun 29, 2007 11:03 AM

i raced a gti up to 55, he had about a car and a half on me in my 2.2. i thought he would have beat me a LOT worse than he did, but like i said it was only up to 55, he was still pulling away a little bit when we let off. definatley not as fast as i had thought though.

Jimmys2007CobaltSS/C Jun 29, 2007 03:28 PM

i was about to say..whats a rabbit gti? lol...

Sleeper22 Jun 29, 2007 03:59 PM

if it's a GTI with the 2.0T, it's pretty quick, it's fast as a S/C stock, so the GTI 2.0T win with no problem agaist the SS 2.4

ya found out that it has 200hp, but with a cold air intake and an exhaust system, mine should be able to take it, and dont know how much of a bad driver he is

but one day we might race

the ss/sc can whip it for sure though

mtwal16 Jun 29, 2007 04:50 PM

2.5L 5 cylinder or the 2.0T?

Volkswagen considers the GTImkV it's own model, just like GTImkIVs. It's build on the Rabbit chassis and looks like a Rabbit on crack, but to Volkswagen it's a separate model altogether. It'd be like stripping the Cobalt name off of the SS. So when you'd say "Cobalt" you would know someone meant a 2.2, not a 2.4 or 2.0. Same with the last gen, nowhere on the car was it badged a Golf, it was simply a "GTI".

That's why people were confused when he said "Rabbit GTI" because, technically such a thing does not exist. It could either be the Rabbit OR the GTImkV, not both.

alleycat58 Jun 29, 2007 05:16 PM

Not gonna argue this point, you didn't get anything I was trying to say. A "GTI" had been JUST a "GTI" since 1999. Anyone that knows VW just calls it a GTI, which one it is is designated by its "mark" (eg., mkI, mkII, mkIII, mkIV, mkV). There's no need for a model name there. A Rabbit = 150hp I5 and a GTI = 200hp I4 and a Rabbit GTI just confuses the hell out of people because you're talking 2 different models.

You are someone that if you owned an SRT-4 you would say it isn't a neon.

No we're not actually, that's why I say you don't get what I'm saying.

alleycat58 Jun 29, 2007 05:42 PM

I guess just because it's a weird VW thing. In 1999 they began badging GTIs as JUST GTIs and dropped the (at the time) Golf name and it carried over to the new style GTIs. It's a GTI, nothing else.

When you say a Neon SRT-4, everyone knows what you're talking about. It's the top-level Neon model. But a GTI is considered separate from a Rabbit. Go on VW's website or most car search sites - you can choose EITHER a Rabbit OR a GTI, not a "Rabbit GTI," i.e. "GTI" is NOT a Rabbit model, it's independent. I can't even give an example because no other manufacturer does the same thing. It's just a quirky VW thing.

Agreed.

YOU are the one not understanding.

Back when the SRT-4 was on sale it was badged as just an SRT-4. When you went on the Dodge site you could choose either Neon or SRT-4, not a "Neon SRT-4" i.e. SRT-4 is not a Neon model, it's independent.

BMW does the same with their M series (except on the Z3/4 for whatever reason).

M3= 3 series
M5= 5 series
GTI= Rabbit or Golf(depending on year)
SRT-4= Neon or soon Caliber
GLI= Jetta

GTi Vs Cobalt SS
 
If we're just taking the VW Rabbit inline 5 cylinder here...then the SS coupe or sedan would win. The GTi however, would beat the 2.4L by a car length or 2. The SS SC would destroy a Gti either way....woot cobalt!

2.4SlowassBalt Jul 2, 2007 12:29 PM

dude you will totally kick its ass, just as long as you buy the turbo kit first.

i'm not sure the SS/SC Stock will 'DESTROY' a GTI MKV 2.0T, SS/SC 205hp and 200torque,the GTI 200hp and 207torque ,so it' very equal performance, Stock vs Stock i'm not sure who's gonna win, but it' s it's gonna be a great race

Jimmys2007CobaltSS/C Jul 4, 2007 03:50 PM

i acuatlly saw a 4door gti yesterdat on i95 south..that was weird...do they make em...it says GTI on the back
