Who would win in a race....

2.4 SS Automatic

or

2003 Impala (3800 Series II - Automatic)

 

Haha, Impala for sure.

What two morons would race those 16 second cars anyhow?

 

Dear Mr. Frazier,

Thank you for your sympathetic understanding and your kind words of encouragement...

Ya Dick!


Just cause someone's a little slower than you doesn't mean that they aren't allowed to have fun. You make me bring to rememberance the words of my long deceased father on this fathers day " There's always a butcher for the hog!"

So if you wanna put up a little money, I've got an 11 second motorcycle that I'm sure will give your Bad Ass Cobalt a run for the money. And you know what? A stock ZX-14 Kaw will run low 10's all day - so what? You run what you got. Any true racer knows, you primarily compete with yourself and not the other guy.

By the way, Happy Fathers Day.

 

Calm down....he was joking.....it supposed to be sarcastic.

 

Dude...

Calm down. It's an inside joke.

As for the race... I think it would be close. But the 2.2 can take them both.

 

Just Playin,

No hard feelings.

 

You guys really crack me up. Why do 65% of you guys think your car would win and 35% dont. This is not AN OPINION. Lets look at some facts here real quick. The impala 3800 would KILL an auto 2.4 SS. Hands down. No question. Get over yourselves.

 

i dunno what an auto 2,4 would do. my 5 speed one would eat a 3.8 for breakfast, at least in a 1/4

 

So, where are the facts you are presenting? All that being given by you is your OPINION as well.

Here, I'll supply you with facts......

Cobalt SS auto - 171 hp and 2900lbs - 16.96lbs per hp.

Impala LS auto - 200 hp and 3450lbs - 17.25lbs per hp.

Is 29hp going to make up for an extra 550lbs? No.

So the Cobalt has a slight hp to weight advantage.

Fact is these two cars are going to run pretty close. Impala is high 15s, low 16s at the track stock. The SS auto's here have been running about the same.

 

those times are for an 06 v8 impala ss. which it has already been stated is not the impala that might be raced here.

 

I dont know I had a Grand Prix with that engine and it wasn't really quick, i think itd be close

 

take em both to the track and dont make a poll...come back with the answers and some time slips, k? :-)

 

Good Call with the stats. I agree that the 29 Hp is not going to make up for the weight. However, The "Series II" 3.8L. Is that the same as the L67 Series II Supercharged version or are they both considered Series II, with the differnce being one is supercharged and one isn't.

 

Ive ran against a 2000 Grand Prix GT w/ very minor tuning and he was only running about 1/2 a second faster than I was. It would be close but the 3800 has the advantage stock for stock.

 

Also, the impalas autos have terrible gearing...

 

i think it would be close if you're stock, it says right here that the 02 impala will run an 15.9

to close to call..

 

yea for sure, im sure i would smoke him but im an modded 5spd.

 

well if you were racing past 80 you will pass the Impala like nothing. 4th gear in the auto is teh sux0rs.

 

My Smart buy for my LS ends in 2008 so I am pretty happy about the turbo comming..Well possibly) but the 1 thing that bothers me is why they arent competing with everyone else and 4wd? I mean 260 Hp is great but it still put the cobalt on the bottom compared to the STI, EVO, SRT4 Caliber ....I know these cars are more expensive running at least 30 grand brand new .but the cobalt will still be underated compared to these stock turbo's...

 

wait tho...............













Is the impala stock.

 

Yep.....bone stock....automatic

 

WTF mate?

 

^^^^ Lol that is that I was thinking...

 

i thought the turbod 08 cobalts where just an myth?
