09 SS/TC vs formula one car

Me and the balt just got back from this weekends race. I was really excited that I would get a chance to run with the some of the world's best drivers, but unfortunately I was DQ'd during qualifying. They said I was too fast and it was not fair to the teams/drivers. And to think, I am still stock! Anyone know what I can do to slow my car down to make it fair for the formula one guys?

you could try removing your wheels and just running on rotors.

you could install a custom slowness switch which cuts the horsepower by about 1/3 to make your car acceptable enough for the track times

One of the coolest things about the whole weekend (besides meeting Michael Schumacher) was being able to drive to/from the race with this beast.

You brive an IMPREZZA WRX (Non STI) you are in just another economy car with a turbo, its not god on wheels, and EVO's **** on you all day long, which is another economy car with a turbo......

Find something better to do with your time, and troll the WRX forums, atleast they all enjoy being a douche like yourself.

Not according to road and track and the lightning lap....... and I paid much less for mine (-=

QFT

"The Cobalt SS won this test by virtue of being good (more often great) at just about everything. It won three of the seven Performance categories outright, while never finishing worse than second in the rest. In our Subjective section, it won six of the 12 categories, all of them performance-related. The WRX put up a phenomenal fight, and is a class act itself, but it just couldn't overcome the Chevy's performance advantages. Kim summed it up thus: "Dynamically, the Cobalt SS is the best — it completely shocked us."

So for all those who have said, "I'd buy an American car if they made one that could compete with the Europeans and Japanese," Chevy is calling your bluff. Because the Cobalt SS doesn't just compete with the foreign cars, it beats them. It is the hottest-performing sports compact you can buy in the U.S. for under $30,000. That it's also the least expensive in this test is even more reason to rush to your Chevy dealer immediately. Not only will it help stimulate the economy, but every aspect of your enthusiast driving senses as well."

- Road&Track "A time for Turbo's"

Not to mention The SS even Beat the STI on the N-Ring Stock......

drewbroo: congrats. but when i said i have a better car, that also included the awd, way bigger interior, way NICER interior, wayyyy nicer paint (cobalts paint sucks), oh, and i drive a damn rally car, wanna go rally w/ me?
ill make it easy for you: lets take the supply and demand curve; if my car wasnt better and therefore certainly wouldnt be worth what people are paying for it, then no one would buy them right? the newest wrx is way above the cobalt ss. I FREAKING OWNED BOTH CARS, IF THE COBALT WAS SO DAMN GOOD I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT ANOTHER. oh my bad i forgot, the cobalt is known for being able to fit 5 grown men in it comfortably and having a great interior. theres a reason your car costs more that 6k less than mine. oh and just fyi, the newest wrx (aka mine) does 0-60 fast than the sti stock for stock. subaru is considering combing them because both are getting so close performance wise. go look at the new 2011 wrx's its now the same body too. and yes, you beat me around a track stock for stock. lets go around that same track mod for mod because my car has way higher potential and is way better mod for mod.

chevysssc: thats completely my bad then. i thought the arrow pointing to the post above (which was me) was aimed at me. if it wasnt then thats my bad. i thought you were jumping on the attack the wrx bandwagon.

I have a better car than you anyways in that case, for Niceties I have an 06 GLI too.

I don't know about you, but my paint is fine, maybe its the layer of Bukkake keeping your paint fresh, or considering your car is a 2010. Just because you like your WRX better than your SS/SC you had, does not mean that everyone else will.

And mod for mod, I am pretty sure around the track I could beat you hands down. Cobalts are VERY competitive cars around a track. Only reason I got mine is because it was cheap, and cheap to make faster. The WRX they wanted over 30K for a base model 2009, they can keep that ****, and a used EVO will smoke the **** out of it all day long.

I have a better car than you anyways in that case, for Niceties I have an 06 GLI too. (Far better interior, much nicer ride quality, and a slick shifting DSG.) I could give a **** less about my cobalts interior. (Thats also a DI car too)

sorry, i dont need 2 cars to have niceties and fast. i have it all in 1 car. and i have motorcycle to ass rape anything on the street or track. and members on this forum have always complained of gm factory paint, dont try and dispute it. ive read it since ive been here 2 years ago. sorry i dont have to tell someone "i want a nice car so now i have to hop in my gli" or "i want a fast car i need to hop in my tc". i just get in my car and it does both. and you still ignored the question i asked if you wanted to go to a rally bc if your car is built for the track and is so good and my car is damn close stock and just as good if not better (in my opinion) regarding suspension mod for mod then how about we come into my element and see how close you fare? and regarding your evo comparison you cant. yes you can get a used evo and beat me (better not be a stock one though) but its used. mine had 3 miles on it. you cant get a brand new evo for what i paid for my car i promise. quit comparing apples to oranges. because ill go buy a 97 or 98 ls1 vette and do full exhaust and cam and even head w a clutch for less than what you paid for your cobalt. but that wouldnt be fair because you have a newer car and you paid for that, just like me.

sorry restonSS.. you will blow your motor VERY soon... i have a friend that has had 2 brand new engines from factory because they keep blowing up..(stock!) also he had to spend over 9k in order to mild build and still slow... im spending less than 2k and puting the same **** that he got... oo and mod to mod, cobalt has a lot more potential than the WRX... also those engines cant hold their power unless you spend big $ on it... same thing with the new evos, they both SUCK!!! yes it could have a better interior and what not, but still looks like a Kia from the back... is not to bash on th WRX but they really fucked up on the 4 door sedans WRX... they look BAAAD and simple... but everyone have different taste i guess...
