Bolt-ons don't mean ****. He could have had a DC sports header, CAI, 2.5in exhaust, cam gears(which are worthless on a stock motor), and cheap intake mani and still would've only had maybe 180-185whp, and MUCH, MUCH less torque than your Balt.
On the other hand, he could've used an SMSP header, 2.5in exhaust, AIR intake mani, and AEM intake which would've netted well over 210whp in his case. Making his car significantly faster than before.
Congrats...you beat a car 7+ years older than yours..
Congrats again..you beat the heaviest coupe Honda there has been other than the S2000.
Finally, in reference to the last statement...like I said in the PM to you earlier..when my Honda is finished...I'll come run with you for a day, (or until you've had enough). And trust me...the SC60-1 doesn't give much mercy to anything other than the SC61.
Bottom line..show some respect..there are plenty of Honda, Acura, Mazda, Toyota owners out there that could beat your setup no doubt. Don't think ANY Honda can be taken by a stock Balt SS/SC. Just that one in particular.

I had the same arguement with one of my friends the other day who's a huge honda fan. I told him that stock for stock that the fastest civic (i.e. the si) would get it's ass kicked by the ss s/c, and then his arguement was that if he took the amount of money i spent buying my brand new cobalt and invested in a used civic that it would destroy my car, granted. But then it wouldn't be a stock car going against my stock cobalt so it's not the same. He got into all the ways hondas are more reliable and that can be made much faster blah blah blah. But still, my only arguement was that no brand new civic could beat my cobalt, that not even the rsx type-s could win. That even the s2000 would have problems beating my car. Of course he was completely against what i was saying and he kept repeating himself. Needless to say it was pretty humourous to see how worked up he got. I was laughin the whole time.

hence the reason i made the comment...it had more aggresive cams to blast out 600+ hp and a full carbon fiber body.

And just because you beat 1 s2000 doesn't mean you can beat them all, same with the TL.
I ran next to a bone stock one that ran 13.9, when I made a 14.4 pass stock.
And before you ask I went and made sure he was stock.

I still stand by my statement. Honda's are slow stock. And overpriced. RDX? Give me a break! I can't believe you consider that a fast Honda. BTW, NSX no longer exists, so that makes your little list a little shorter.

And yes, I said FASTER not better handling. I do give Honda credit for making the si a decent car this time around.

The guy said he could beat any stock honda, and he's right. Is it even fair to compare a cobalt to nsx? I don't think it is.

The s2000 would give him or all of us the most competition.

He is not right, he can't beat any stock Honda. I love my SS/SC but to say it is faster than every stock s2000 is annoyingly arrogant and completely untrue.

I don't think its arrogant thinking that i could beat an s2000. Maybe i could, maybe i can't i haven't had the pleasure. But if the guy said he's beat an s2000 how is he arrogant, maybe he actually did. Maybe the cobalt can beat the s2000.
