08 civic 4dr si vs. cobalt ss stage 2 3.1 pulley
i never said roll racing wasnt real racing first of all, i actually said he is the better driver, dig races are real races from my point of view at least. he made a handle on here and has to wait a day to leave comments 08blackSI i think it is. dont talk dirt on him he's a cool dood, and he can drive the **** out of his car...
pff i rode in my boys GTO before and it wasnt even built up good, just a cat-back and intake... dood trust me there something special. just would appreciate if they backed us GM owners up... half of them do i know that.
Thats the problem..they dont...and I've got nothing against gto's...they're nasty rides....I just dont like the attitude the owners have.
I am done with this thread, you guys get hit with facts and just start name calling and thinking we own Hondas.
Educate yourselves on all cars and respect all cars and you won't get all butthurt like in this thread.
Me a troll?
I have contributed more to this forum than you ever will.

no doubt I'll believe a 14.6-14.7 with a good driver anyday.....tell slowsho that....lol...
Not on stock tires it will not...I think your the ignorant one. You might not be able to tell one someones using a small shot of nitrous....but if your using 100shot or more...sorry..you can tell when someone hits it.

you can not always tell when a car is running nitrous, no matter the size, especially on vids. and it doesn't always "hit".
its going good, see all the trouble your nitrous injected, tuned ,striped Honda caused <sarcasm
i dont get some of these guys.
stage II SS will run 14.7-13.8 depending on driver , the latter is rare.
SI with i/h/e will run 15.0-14.0 depending on driver , the latter is rare.
there is littertary a difference of .3 secs differences between the 2 cars. a max of about a 1sec if one driver is awesome, and one sucks... andn thats what we saw in the vid, its not like the SI just walked away form the ss and the ss never walked away from the si.

i believe the cobalt trannys makes the car slow from a dig. with the si's close gear ratio, we can have a linear acceleration. thats why we can shoot out from the hole faster than most cars. the cobalt have longer gears and more torque. which makes it spin tires. if you try to feather the throttle you would get traction but no power to catch up. i've driven ish's car and its a monster compared to my car. 1st and 2nd gear, you can spin the tires all the way up to 2nd to 4000 rpm, but during the spinning of the tires or acceleration, you barely gain speed because of the too much torque to the front wheels there's sort of a quadratic acceleration. but when you're driving from a roll. it's quick. in my car, when you're doing a roll, its not all that fast because theres no much torque. it doesn't really throw me back into my chair. i see torque as the feeling of being put back to the seat. k
I see you're just as un-educated as everyone else here. You'll fit right in.

you mean like this

but i almost have to give it a little over half or 3/4 throttle just to keep up with mini vans and stuff in 1st gear.
Ahhh gotcha, I wondered why I out launched him. I figured he'd get a better 60ft. I wanted to say good race afterwards and see what he had done if anything but he left right after the race.
