so this is the story. i went to 7-11 to get some delicious coffee. so i get my coffee and im on my way home. on the way home on montauk hwy, i see a white wrx with a white decal on the rear window "REDLINE". so im debating if i wanna play or go home. so, im looking at his car and all of a sudden i see some smoke come outta his exhaust. so now my mind is made up. he gets onto Robert Moses Causeway heading north. now getting onto robert moses, there is a sharp turn getting on the ramp and a sharp turn getting onto the highway. so naturally he guns it. by the time i get onto robert moses, he is already 15-20 cars ahead of me and he is still gunning it. so we are on it and speeds are 110+. by the time we reached Sunrise Highway i was on his ass. now, we get on sunrise highway and we are cruising at 80mph. i pull up next to him and look over but he wont look at me. im thinking he's not gonna run me but i give him the 3 honk start. after the 3rd honk he hits it! i was suprised. so i downshift to 3rd and im off. instantly i pull on him. i swear, i mustve put 15-20 cars on him by the time i hit 130. now i lil voice was telling me to slow down. so i slow to 80 and throw my hazards on....he flys by me but i gave him a thumbs up! and he responded with one also...nice guy. he had a nice looking car too. anywhos, thats my story. ive done pulls with just myself up to 120 but never in a race. HOLY HELL, i never realized how hard these ss/sc's pull until other cars dont even look like they are moving. sorry for the novel but thanx for reading.

don't think you raced an STI, maybe a WRX or impreza. Either way nice kill.

You should edit all the street and highway names too. Good "kill".

wesmanw02

Nice kill man.

WRX's can be a close race for an SS S/C from a dig, but they are no competition from a roll

inhale

u can say that again...it seemed like he was driving a civic

Oh K

You know this is a lost cause Tom, roll "racing" is almost the only thing that matters here and to the uneducated AWD=slow from a roll no matter what.

good job inhale.... lol... you popped your cherry...... they are a good race, and from a dig you would have been dead, as we have no traction.... from a roll, at any speed, they are a walk in the park.

hey now, i didnt choose to race at 80. i flashed at him MANY times on the first highway but he just took off. so i had to play catch up and he still wouldnt slow down. bah to him for racing from a roll. besides, even if it was from a dig, i think i wouldve caught up to him cause i caught him from 50-110 within 15 sec and he was WAY ahead of me

280Z1977

I said good "kill" and that comment wasn't really directed at you. How does that mean you would catch him from a dig?

inhale

im not saying it was. i was just reminding u guys i tried to flash him down. i would run him from a dig just to see what happens....if i lose, i lose. if i win, i win.

nice kil! im going to get a wrrx but thats okay i like cobalts better, i just need something fun to drive in the winter as well, if i didn't have to struggle geting up my driveway in the snow, i would have a cobalt.. but awsome kill

wesmanw02

AWD is slow from a roll compared to FWD or RWD. Get over it, stop being sarcastic

CobaltCowboy

good kill

STi_WRX02

AWD isn't that slow from a roll. If the wrx was stock then it's probably slow from a roll and the SS should be able to pull on it. But modded ones are a diff. story. I did pretty well with a ss with a few mods. I think i ended up a bit ahead but I' m not sure so if the the guy i raced for fun see's this post then maybe he'll chime in and give more info.

But good kill....i guess

patathSS

Modded WRX's are no joke, from a dig or a roll. But even a stock one from a dig feels like a slingshot out of the hole. That is one thing I wish the Cobalt had.

leviticus88

nice kill

phxSS

(yawwwwwnn)..beating WRX's is nothing new...NEEEEEXT!

CynicX

seriously.....seems like everytime I'm at the dragstrip I've always got a cobalt blowing me away....

tomt5078

Funny stuff, the last time I was at the track Cobaltss's were running 14.7 and my WRX was running 13.3

plyboy-illest

sweet kill

CynicX

yeah I was being sarcastic....although I would like to race a cobalt on the highway just too see...I dont like street racing so I've only done spirited driving for a brief few seconds on the street.

At autox I usually dominate FWD unless its something serious and made to be an autox car. Even still I'm running stock sway bars, stock springs, no strut tower, stock struts, stock tires.

I really really cant wait to get my cobb front and rear sway and strut tower and some stickier tires. I'm probably leave the springs stock for a while....

Other then that I dont have a good comparison for a rolling race with a Cobalt SS. Like I said I dont like street racing and there isnt a drag strip for roll racing hahaha...

Next time I goto Cecil County drag way I'm gonna try to get a Cobalt (hopefully one of you guys) and accell to 15-25mph line up then take off. Probably wont get kicked off the track hehehe
