What happens when an import tries to hit on CHEVY?

LETS SEE!

I love American cars, but I have to say....if you race the top of the line Cobalt (Cobaltss/sc) vs the top of a line wrx (sti) the cobalt has no chance.

just give the man props, he didnt post this to get rideculed. NICE KILL!

I read some of the comments on there. Some people were sticking up for the SS.

Ohh I know that. I like imports too STi is in my " If I had money" list. but It feels good when you take on imports with a domestic and by that I mean GM.

No offense to import owners by the clip tho...

WRX is all from a Dig same with an STI.

STI's arnt that quick from a roll, its all in their launch that gives them a good 1/4 mile.


I would love to see how long it takes a STI to go from 60-100 vs a cobalt ss.

Ive raced STI's that have busted my ass (non stock of course) but every stocker Ive ran across Ive pretty much hung with.

Here's an STi. Is the guy filming and the one who posted the video...
It's just for fun. NO OFFENSE!
maybe I need to get a life right????



!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!STi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

where was the race from a dig??? lol that ass clown still would have gotten pulled on i bet....wrx's usually put up a harder fight than that.

That was an awsome kill man, who says our SS/SC cant hang with the rest of them!!

They are just internet clips. I just get them from that page.

True

True, however Cobalt SS/SC 20-25k depending on your hookups hahahaha. STI 38k!! I'll take my SS/SC all day!! I also hate the cheap interior in the STI

like everyone has said, SMOKED from a dig. not from a roll. you started in a sweet spot almost everytime too.

Sti's here in Lafayette, home of a Subaru plant, costs $32,000....and stock have 265wheel horsepower, and are awd. That's 45 more wheel horse than a turboed 2.2L ecotec. For $38,000 you could have a stage II sti. That's 335wheel. My friend who has parents that work at SIA (Subaru Isuzu) here in town has a stage IV sti. He has 384 wheel horsepower. It cost him $45,000. I have 222wheel in my 05 cavalier I raced him from a dead stop and had him through 1st and half way through second, then he sped past me so fast I almost cried. Sti's are scary. As far as street legal, 4 cylinders go, there's nothing that can even come close in my opinion. I don't like Japanese cars, but 384wheel? That's not to mention stage V or race stage I or race stage II, that puts out 700wheel horsepower. I have beaten wrx's in my Cavalier, but an sti is so completely different than an integra or 2.5rs or wrx that it shouldn't even be called a wrx. And as far as starting a race from a roll...That doesn't prove anything as far as I'm concerned, because one car could be just ready to shift gears while the other could have just shifted and that is nowhere near fair or even.

38 Grand!! **** that!!

u pulled him in 1st gear? i guess he didnt realize he was racing no offense

traviskearney

We were on a street outside my house and he was in my house for 2 hours before we did it so I think he knew we were racing. We raced three times and everytime was the same.....Had him through first and half of second then he flew by like i was parked. I'm auto he's manual, the length of my lead is maybe 45-50 ft before he flys by. I usually am at about 4700 in second when he sucks my door handles off. :-(

The sti would rape you off the line not talking trash or anything but their is no way you would hang with him off the line. sti's off the line are crazy but off the punch they are not all that. an ss/sc should run with a stock sti off the punch.

traviskearney

My car is automatic his is manual. He has to pause to shift gears. That pause gives me the edge on him for a brief moment. My car shifts almost immediately from first to second and is at 4700 in second when he passes me. This happened the same way three times in a row. Maybe he has trouble shifting? But that happened three times in a row.

BlackSS05

no hes prob right i raced a wrx and the guy jus pulle don me thru the top end. first thru 2nd i had him top end of 3rd i was smoked. seriously i almost cried when he flew past me.

supermantxz24

are wrx's alot slower than sti's of the line? i raced a wrx off the 40 punch and pulled on him hard but never raced them off the line but my friend has an sti with turbo back,intake,pully,some kind of chip and he gets me by like 5 cars off the like he also dumps his clutch at like 6 grand but i suck at hooking up so maybe thats my prob or maybe his mods really help him out off the line. so can we beat stock wrx's off the punch or did i just get lucky?

True, but the WRX and Cobalt SS/SC are about equal price. The STi is considerably more. It is almost in the price range of a GTO.

I think it is a fair match.

so when we race mustangs we can only talk about the cobra ...becasue its top of the line or do we have to go with the Cobra R

thats one of the worst ways to think about compairing cars

traviskearney

It's pointless to compare cars price wise, because my $19000 Cavalier (05 Modified) beat a $28000 Mustang (05 stock gt) on an 1/8 mile track. I also lost to a $6500 Trans Am (84 Modified) the same night, on the same track. Chevy needs to make a blown 2.4 Cobalt to compete with the STI's blown 2.5.

SlateFox

yeh arent the sti's heavier? takes em a sec to catch up lol
