So some friends and I were talking drag racing as we do, and i wanted opinions on how you guys think a stock cobalt ss/sc would do against these cars:
04 BMW 325XI
87 mustang 5.0
95 Caprice 5.7L
06 G6 GTP 6-speed manual
07 accord V6
07 murano AWD
08 WRX Hatch
08 accord I4 (Has cold air intake and tune)

All other cars are stock

 

We talking roll racing or digs?

 

bench racing

 

The Murano wins for sure then.

 

Talking digs on a backroad pretty sure mustang rains king in this group though

 

Bench racing for now, but digs next week

 

1. Stop talking about it.
2. Just go out and do it.
3. Report back here with the results.
4. Video would be a plus.

(My standard comment on FB posts like this)

 

Will do chief

 

You serious about the Mustang?


But like others have said, grab your gopro and go find out. It's much funner than hypotheticals anyway.

 

Honestly forgot about the wrx lmao some results are below

 

Caprice vs mustang= mustang win
Accord v6 vs g6 gtp= G6
Cobalt vs BMW= Cobalt
Wrx vs accord I4= wrx
Murano vs accord I4=Accord
Caprice vs g6= G6
Cobalt vs accord v6= cobalt
Mustang vs cobalt= mustang

Did those last night, but we are doing more and hopefully going to get someone to record a few of my races next time

 

How close was your race with the Mustang? I was thinking you should have won that one but looking at the specs 225 hp with 3,000lbs if it is running like new it should be a pretty even match for stock SC Cobalt. On paper anyway

 

We plan to do that race next week

 

Is the Murano a 6 or an 8?

 

6 if you're talking cylinders

 

so the mustang beat the cobalt, not surprised. It had an exhaust drag radials a carbon fiber kit and a rebuilt engine

 

If you have ever owned one especially a 5 Spd you would understand. 225/305 tq stock. They easily make big power and respond very well to mods. I had a 93 GT that was built front to back. Still had A/C and every creature comfort. With a 150 shot added to that I was running 6.40s in the 1/8th. I still had over drive. I would have also picked the mustang out of that group. I have built tons of them. Back when Pinks all out was doing there show, I ran it. I barely missed the times they wanted. My car you can see it twice for just a brief second running.

 

yeah, my buddy had a fiberglass body kit, a shift kit, drag slicks and a flow master exhaust, my cobalt was stock. I think stock for stock the fox would still pull away just because it’s geared better and rwd.

 

Yeah I've never driven one. Guess with that torque number even though peak HP doesn't look that impressive there's probably significantly more area under the curve.

 

The ratio was insane. Especially as you added more to it. It was like a LS motor. They responded very well to mods, but they didn't have to have all of the tuning. Yes they were speed density and then mass air in 89, but you could buy this little adaptor plate on the front of the idle air control sensor and adjust it just like you do a carb motor. It was really cool to mess with. I had a pretty radical cam 512 lift 288 duration with 1.7 roller rockers on some nicely ported heads. I ran the tremec tko and then I had 4.10 gears in the rear end. That was a crazy combo.
