I could have sworn it was ATLEAST 82hp.......lol

 

My buddy has an 03 Cobra and the other one has a supercharged m3...does that mean my Cobalt gets another 164 hp??? Sweeeet!

 

It's 82hp at the crank, 73hp at the wheels.

 

haha ok thanks for correcting me on that cuz i was telling people that my friend's mother's brother's uncle's cousin had a 06' Z06 and i was telling people that i was getting an extra 82 hp because of that...ok i'll go back and tell them it's only 73.....

 

omg this has turned into a contest. Well, I know this guys brother who know this girl who once dated the guy that worked on the car of the mechanic who got fired from John Forces mail handling service. That has to be worth at least 100HP (since he is one of the fastest people in the 1/4)

 

Your the same window licker that trolls the SRT forums arent you. LOL, I've seen you get owned plenty of times, but it never gets old. I can post links for those who want in on the comedy.

 

Cobra has DOHC, 32v motor, while the GT has a SOHC, 16v motor. Both are 4.6L's, but that's where the similarities end.

 

Nice, take 2 different posts and argue as if they are one. What about all the people and magazines that claim the Cobalt weighs 2934(or around there)?

Does 400lbs make the difference between a low 14 and high 12 sec, Mr. Race Expert??? Since I never listed the weights of the RSXs that could be running those times with the power you guys make. Next time argue one post at a time, before you insult my intelligence.

Hey FastFrontier17, time to move on to another thread. You won't get anything else but insults now from everyone because they know you are right.

 

What are you even talking about?? Combining 2 posts into one?? You're lost buddy, I merely quoted your post and replied to it.

As for the issue at hand, you never mentioned anything about weight. You never said a "difference of 400lbs", you were just talking about horsepower. And for the record, 400lbs will not get a car from low 14's to high 12's. Not even close, I don't know where you pulled that from.

And as for weight, in order to even lose 400lbs off of an RSX you'd need to really gut the thing out. In which case it would pretty much be a race car, not a driveable/liveable street vehicle. And since you're talking about weight reduction, you can't just take 400lbs off the RSX without taking 400lbs off of the Cobalt as well, thats ridiculous, of course the RSX would have the weight advantage if the Cobalt was left stock

FastFrontier pretty much got owned in this thread. If he had been "right", he would still be posting in this thread right now. We proved him wrong, case closed.

 

You only quoted one post but you talked about both of my posts.

Exactly, I never said weight. That is why I asked if a car with less horsepower could win a race. My buddy's RSX with 230whp weighed 2538lbs and ran 12.9s with no internal work just bolts ons..

His car was minus back seat, sub and amp, and a few other things. He still had AC, power steering, passenger seat, original glass, and original body parts. It was very far from a race car. He even had an MP3 storage unit and laptop in it and he added the type R wing. Maybe you should educate yourself A LOT more before you continue to insult my intelligence.

 

I'm not trying to insult your intelligence. The thing about being bad at math was just a pun, seeing as you didn't provide any numbers with your statements. I didn't mean for you to take it so personally.

I also have a hard time believing that an RSX weighing 2538 with only 230WHP runs a 12.9. A stock C6 Corvette, with an extra 140HP and 250ft/lbs of torque, only weighs 500lbs more, yet they run mid 12's. Somehow the gap should be much larger than a half second. So either your buddy's RSX has much more than 230WHP, weighs less than what you say it does, or he has 8.10:1 gears in the differential to get him down the strip in that kind of time

 

Wasey13, just curious...do you have a cobalt??

Edit... that dyno was with a conservative tune.

 

Almost got one, settled for this instead...

 

^Dayum...Nice car! (I still like my balt better...sorry)

 

O ok so it only took a complete engine swap to run a 12.9 in an RSX

Thats no big deal, list it along with the other mods as if its just another bolt-on...

 

No biggie, I like Cobalts too.

It was a < 6 hour job, either way I was right and you were wrong. It would be cool if you just admitted it and that his time was impressive, instead of always bashing Hondas. And with some internals the stock motor can run 12.8s-9s.

 

What were you right about and what was I wrong about?? Please specifically show me where I was "wrong", I only based my posts off the information you provided.

 

Post allower.

 

Evo fan myself but nice car

 

My clutch lasts thought.... J/k, thanks man.

 

Why did they do that to the front end of the WRX\STi?? Last years front was so much nicer.

 

Wasey you're going in circles here. You still haven't specifically told me how I was "wrong" according to you. Quoting my post as your reference and saying nothing else proves nothing other than that you know how to quote posts - which isn't the issue here.

All the things I said in my post that you quoted are accurate. Eliminating 400lbs from a vehicle will not get it from low 14's to high 12's - I posted that and its true. Then I said taking 400lbs off involves some substantial gutting of the vehicle, making it generally uncomfortable for everyday use. Thats also correct. I don't see what you're talking about here, maybe we should just leave it at that.

 

That's fine...

Thanks man.

 

I didn't like the new styling of the STI's but now it's starting to grow on me!
