I will say I never tried to one up anyone or impersonate an SS/SC or SS/TC. I bought the 2.4SS to be different, and also b/c its my one and only car/daily driver, and 47k miles later, im glad I made the decision on the car I own, especially with fuel prices the way they are these days.
Owell, some people just wanna go on forums and have a Napolean complex and start **** b/c they apparently fail in real life

Thats NOT impressive. 470 HP on a turbo out of a mustang is not that great. You have that civic run a tt cobra putting out 700+ horses and see who wins.
470 horses out of a turbo sounds like poor tuning too me.... Unless the engine is a ticking bomb, which if that is the case the mustang has a poor build.
NTM, that same mustang could probly run a simple 50 shot and beat the civic.

Its a wannabe SS because SS stands for Super Sport. a long standing heritage of power and muscle.
I wouldnt consider a N/A 4 banger to be the epitome of muscle. Most everyone agress that the N/A Cobalt should have never worn the SS badge. But whatever...you bought one and if that makes you happy, cool.
But dont tell me I fail on a car forum when my car would outrun yours if i was shiting at 3k RPMs in every gear.

Did I mention most stock 03-04 cobra's run 420 ish horses? Ill bet that civic is boosting a hell of a lot more than the mustang.

there are hondas running same power and more.
I thought 03/04 cobras were 390/390 at the crank?

If you're going that way, I wouldn't call any cobalt a ss. I love my muscle and wish I had one, but I think in no way a ss nova can compare to any balt.

they listed at 390 crank but most dyno atLEAST that factory.
Plus its very cheap to get them to 500+whp.
We have "honda's of doom" being built aorund here all the time. And while some of them make decent dyno queens....almost all fail miserably at the track.
This little detail called traction.

Doesnt matter what those hondas are running. Id be willing to be there are MANY more faster mustangs out there than civics.
Id also be willing to bet that its easier to make a cobra RELIABLY faster than a civic. Especially considering most cobras gawk at 600+ HP.
There is no replacement for displacement, especailly in a V8. You can completely rebuild and boost a civic for 30 lbs of boost and make 400 horses, or you can boost a V8 for 15 psi and make 600+.
NTM RWD is MUCH better than FWD. You can boost that civic all you want, but launching that FWD is a real pain.
