So I was on my way home pretty late last night when I see this red car with a all to familiar wing. The car is a red Cobalt SS, after market exhaust (dual exhaust in fact), after market rear bumper and gauge pods in the A pillar. Michigan plates and a nice Cobaltss.net stickers on the window.

As I'm making my way pass him, I see him weave through traffic a bit to get beside me. It takes a little while, but he finally decides he wants to see what this RSX has under the hood. I hear him down shift and I wait for that supercharger whine to let me know he is getting on it...

Funny, because although I know he was flooring it; he sure didn't have the getup and go that I was expecting with that blower. So needless to say, I follow suit and downshift into 3rd (we were going around 75mph). What happens next is what I can best describe as a AMTRAK train pulling past a stationary object. I think a better description is the length of space between my car and his after finishing off my 3rd gear is that there was enough space for an AMTRAK train to fit.

After I let off, he clearly does not want to line up with me again. In fact, he speeds through traffic to make sure I don't get beside him again... So I couldn't give him a thumbs up for effort or even

If you see this thread, let me know if you're down for another run if maybe you were in the wrong gear... I sure hope so.

 

Did you actually hear the blower? If not, chances are it was a 2.2 (maybe 2.4) with an SS/SC wing...

I was expecting to read a story about a Cobalt getting hit by a train, though..

 

if you are turbo, your story makes complete sense!

 

I have the exact same blower on my car. Either his exhaust sounded horribly bad to be an exhaust (which I won't put past him since it was a dual exhaust setup), or it was the same whine that I heard from my car. Hopefully he'll post up so we can be 100% sure. I've been trying to run another local SS in my area, but apparently the local group thinks he'll walk all over me:

Not turbo'd. I have the same M62 blower that you have on your car

 

so u have the jackson racing supercharger?

 

There are plenty of terrible SS S/C drivers out there so this is no surprise. 2.4L, mods or terrible driver is the really only way to explain a SS S/C losing to an RSX from a roll.

 

What year is your RSX? Got any pics?

 

Your profile says RSX-S... so is it an RSX or RSX-S?

 

Yes, JR supercharger

 

There is no supercharger available for the base model

 

2003. No current ones online really. I'll see what I can dig up

 

same here!

 

whats the rsx forum??? im going to go over there and tell a few stories of my enconters with rsx-s's

 

Its called logic. Faster car beats slower car. Apparently there is another way that a SS S/C can lose to a RSX from a roll... and its very badly

 

Have fun. But you might want to post in the supercharged forums; since that's what this thread is about

 

HAHAHA....How about u find a SS thats not stock to race. And if you cant ur more than welcome to come up my way and see if you're still a fan of "logic".

 

is there a trolling scetion???

 

Theres a video of a 2.2 absolutely destroying an RSX-S at the track on Streetfire...anyone got a link?

 

Yes, its called RSX vs all... pretty much like this one. I'm no troll. Posting up my story and replying to your questions. If you read my earlier post, you'll see where I already tried to run a local 'non stock' Cobalt and basically got stood up

 

I prob could find it... but it still won't make a cobalt faster than me

 

Yo man, how do you figure your car stock is faster than ours? Chevy underrated our vehicles. People have dyno'd stock between 210-220. Doens't an RSX-S have 210?

BTW I thought it got hit by a trian too. lol

 

that sucks man, keep tryin, im sure u'll make cobalt friends eventually.....or not.

 

its people like him that make me hate anything made by honda

how can you have a cocky additude like that? oh my cars a acura TYPE S its fast with 200hp and 120torque with V tec.

did it say s/c on the cobalt? was he even raceing? alot of cars make winneing alot of times its just the tranny. and for a **** muffler i have heard more then enought on hondas that sound like my dads craftsman weed wacker

 

I'm sure it won't matter what stage the SS is. It will require a second power adder to keep up
