Hey I got an 05 ss/sc with pulley and coldair waiting on exhaust, to see the weak number increase in hp and tq was a great dissapointment. Acctually the SS showed the smallest increase in hp and tq of all three cars, granted the jetta (a nice looking car) still had less power aswell as the driver of the 800 hp (not 600) monster was not familiar with the righthand drive car. I don't see a diffinative victory here. The show even ended with all three teams holding up a checkerd flag (who won?) "We did!!" Street Tunner Challenge was a cool show but the time format that the did kind of sucked. They spent a good 11 mins per car, the intro was to long the end they showed too much footage of next weeks show and as interesting as the clips about drifting and street racing were they in my opinion were to long or not needed in this show. I wanted to see more footage and tech info per car per show. I hope they do the show again with three more cars (WRX non sti, Srt neon, RSX possible...that would be informative i think)

BHowman1980 05 ss/sc with pulley and K&N best run 13.97@103mph

 

they had a stock red cobalt on the show and dynoed 212 hp the gm guys were suprised that it higher than advertised!! Where are you getting these numbers cause if your going to make up **** then at least get it a little closer to the truth

 

just goes to show hp isn't everything.

 

Oh no? its racing. hp and tq are THE most important deciding factor (assuming both drivers know what they're doing)

 

actually your tires and your suspension are the most important factor. the largest turbo in the world wont take as much time off your laps as a tuned suspension and some gumballs.

 

F-in A brother! Thats def one of the best things to have in racing. Look at NAscar and the crazy little things that make a diff in there sport!

 

x2 ^^^

 

hey dude,
is that a pic of your car?
if so,
how well does the CF hood fit? does it look perfect or are there gaps n ****?
where did you get yours? got a website for it?

Thanks.

 

Sorry for keep bring this thread back to life. But I agree with 97cavie24ls 235 to the wheel was pretty weak for a rebuilt engine with stage 2 upgrades but I was in shock when it beat the skyline in the time attack. I'm thinking about getting a cobalt SS/SC Soon. I just want to know where can I get some safe aftermarkets from or should I stick with Stage 2?

 

you can build up the same parts included in stage 2 if you want many of the vendors here have the parts or just stage 2 available there is a page just for vendors you may want to look at.

 

power is not everything. this was a stripped car. probably weighed next to nothing. weight is just as important as power. why do you think the lotus runs 0-60 in 4 seconds with 190 horsepower?

stage 2 is a good starting point. most people here get stage 2, then upgrade to a smaller pully, and bolt ons. make sure you do traction mods as well though.

 

this source says that the Time Attack Cobalt made 264 hp / 230 tq and 344hp / 350tq on nitrous.. It weighed in at a low 2350 lbs
