ok i'm new to this 4cyl game so please help educate me. can you get a SS in the low 12s to high 11s and how. let say a 2006 supercharger car and still make it streetable and not break the bank to bad. no NOS either, thats to easy...lol

just wondering cuz i'm getting into this 4cyl. game soon

also for fun what about a turbo cars cuz i am looking into SS TC & Solstice GXPs too.

 

your gonna need money. lol.

 

turbo.............

i doubt a supercharged cobalt will ever make it into the 11's.....

 

thats not a problem im just sayn i dont wanna drop 10k to go 12s ya know. 2k to 3k maybe


i thought ive heard of them hitting 12.0 before but maybe im wrong.

 

as far as i know your gonna need more than 2 or 3k to reach low 12's high 11's

 

sell the car and buy a srt-4 or a new SS turbo.

 

either get the new turbo cobalt and wait a little bit for the aftermarket to catch up, or get a gently used SS/SC and do a blower swap.

 

WOW guess i heard wrong with the SC cars, maybe i'll pick up a turbo car or get a GXP Solstice. Thanks for the info guys, I just thought they were a lil faster

 

So... does my car just not count? I haven't hit 11's, but with slicks it shouldn't be a problem.

 

no...he doesn't want to spend gobs of money

You can get into the 12's...its not simple, but it can be done without breaking into the motor or using nos. It'll be simpler if you open the exhaust ports on the head.
Lets see...
60# injectors
2.7 or smaller pulley
air box mod or cai
full exhaust
poly tranny mounts
cooling mods (dual pass and an extra h/e)
a set of slicks
a lot of track time

can't forget tuning...

 

Without nitrous? That's what I meant as the OP was saying without nitrous.....

And if you're gonna run 11's without nitrous then damn you got a sweet car and post up some vids

 

No. If you can do the work yourself it would be cheaper but for the money you would spend to make the lsj that fast, you'd better off just buying a turbocharged car and throwing in a bigger turbo. I'm thinking srt-4...b...b...b...bad ass.

 

Well you could always turbo swap a ss/sc .

 

now thats what I like to hear ... lol I have a fast car now, I just like the looks of a Cobalt & like the fact that a 4cyl can go that fast. But maybe I should do a turbo car.

 

08 Balt comes with a turbo, go for that.

 

dont forget meth!

 

that what im thinking too....lol

 

do you have any kind of price range? price for car? price set out for mods?

you understand that you wanting to get into the 11s or even 12s with a DD cobalt will be an...experience... be prepared to ask ur friends all the damn time for rides lol

 

this is a major QFT

except i steal my wife's ride.

 

lmao at all the people saying get an 08 cobalt TC to run 12's and 11s in for cheap...

 

who said anything about getting a ss/tc into the 12's..??

 

buy a v8 car their way cheaper to go faster

 

Isn't there some torque limiter in the tc? I'm too lazy to search.

 

these people

 

its doable...
there are a people who are in low 13s with just cooling mods and track time... with a few bolt on mods and a good tune you could be in the 12's no problem.
then do some internal stuff, make a new intake manifold and port the heads and you could see 11's
do alot of the work yourself and look for some good deals and you could do it pretty cheap
