I have seen with my own two eyes a cobalt SS/SC run a 16.1 in the quarter mile.

 

In reverse??

 

what was he doing? driving 20 miles an hour???? thats insane

 

A cobalt could run 18 if the driver sucked enough

 

yeah but its a supercharged car thats the sad part

 

im hoping that was a typo

 

That's just pathetic.

 

My Cougar Did That

 

Sadly enough, I have seen more 15/16 second SS S/C's than 14 second ones

 

his NAWS musta been leaking yo'

 

Not a typo, the guy said that it only had about 1200 miles on it and that they told him at the dealership that the car computer restricts it till around 3500 miles, plus he was dumping it at about 3500 rpms. told him not to just dump it and he then ran a 15.4. but it was 16.10 originally

 

I'll put down a C note saying I can run at least 14.5 stock

 

wouldn't doubt it... there's a lot of shitty drivers out there, and no offense to anyone here, but most cobalt owners are younger and don't have much driving experience...

 

Ya I Really Shouldn't Talk Though I'm Going To The Track On Wednesday First Timer With Clutch And Stg Ii So This Should Be An Event.

 

my first run was a 17.5 but i have a 2.2 ive since broght it down to a 16.001 with jsut a catback. w00t

 

same.... i used to go to the track just to hold up a good name for us, i ran 14.6 stock and all others were mid to low 15's

 

To be fair it was the guys first 5-speed, first time at the track and was dumping it and spinning half way through second gear and then it would BOG

 

yea it's kind of sad because you can hear people in the stands behind you making fun of it.....lol There was a kid there bracket racing last year and he got his three runs...ALL of them in the 16's and he decides to put his dial in time as a 14.7? Like dude...you just ran 16's all night and you really think your going to come close to a 14.7?

 

$10 says you dont do it on your first run

 

i dont buy that....i have a 2.2 coupe and barely get 16.1 w/ cai and cat back...i would like to see that slip....keep dreamin on bro

Edit: it is an auto and they are about 3-4 tenths slower so maybe man,....maybe...but hard to believe

 

If he's running like less than .1 faster than you w/ a 5speed how could you not believe that? Yours is auto and only has a CAI more than his car...

 

I ran a 16.xx once.

Came off the line a little to hard and had a lot of wheel hope. So i pushed in the clutch, put it in second, and took an easy on the run.

 

Just curious how old are you? How many times have you been to the track and how long have you been driving stick? 14.5 in a stock SS is not an easy task. This car doesn't hook up for crap and that can make the whole run slow.

 

I've run 16 or worse a few times. I may even have a few slips of it.

 

****, i've yet to run my 2.5 down a strip, i don't think that i'd do better than a 16 my first shot. this car is a lot harder to get a launch for than my BMW.

lemmie upload the crappy first launch attempt i had...
