Think of it as racing a Corvette towing another Corvette. Good luck!

Bring a first aid kit so you can patch up his injured ego at the end of the day. Oh, so you can patch him up when he rolls it over trying to catch you also. Oops I'm assuming you would be racing him on a twisty track. Straight line ought to be interesting but you should still take him since you have a WAAAYYY better hp/weight ratio.

I beat one from a 70 roll on I75 last summer after the Woodward Dream Cruise. Wasnt by alot, maybe 2 cars, but it was a win. From a dig might be a totally differnt story.

My mods are in Sig.

I raced a stock TB from a dig and he put about a car and a half while i burned my tires up when i got grip i started to gain. I also raced him from 40 and when we got about to 120 i had about 3 cars on him.

According to Edmunds.com the Trailblazer SS they had ran 14.4 at 98+ mph and their Cobalt SS/SC ran 15.4 at 97mph. Their Trailblazer was RWD so when you factor in the extra weight and power loss due to AWD platform, they should be much closer. Then factor in the mods you have = Cobalt SS FTW! IF YOU RUN IT CLEAN! Don't smoke the tires!

haha I just took him for a drive to get some food. now he is worried cuz he feels like the cobalt puts him back in his seat harder than his car.

ok here is an update. yes I won.

react- .1101
60'- 2.3707
330'- 6.4838
1/8- 9.5598
1/4- 14.333 at 104.35mph

he ran a 14.35
I was talking to some people about my time because im crossing the line alot faster than people running a faster time. The reason my 60 is so slow is because I launce like a grandma. can I launch harder or would I just sit and spin/ break something?
