Lol. So you wanna compare a tune only tc to a 9-3 with basically a new turbo and tune/supporting mods? Yeah that's pretty apples to apples. The saab with over 2k in mods is making a bit more than a tuned tc on the stock turbo, not to mention the weight difference. Apples to apples put an upgraded k04 or turbo on the balt and the rape continues. You should stick to seeking out happy dynos cause you fail at logical thinking. FAIL.
lol

My comparison was based on money spent on mods. Who cars what the actually mods are.

With just a tune, a Saab Turbo V6 will make more hp. With x $$$ in mods, the Saab will make more.

Show me one SS/TC making 390whp with $2300 in mods? An SS/TC with all the bolts will spend more then that an not make more hp. Until these magical "EFR" turbos are available, a turbo swap on the SS/TC is going to cost more then $2300.

Maybe you should spend more time working on your tupperfail and less time on the forums. You might actually have something to show for thousands of dollars and 2 years worth of work...

ok, so if you want to make it about cost, then factor in the cost of the vehicle if you want it to be apples to apples. btw, you may want to pick your logic up off of the floor after I just stomped it into oblivion.

Lol sstc will make over 400 easily with upgraded wheels or bnr swap for less than 2k. Even minus that fact you're fixiated on your dyno numbers I understand you like your happy dynos and that's how you bench race I get it. In real life, you know when you're actually driving your car, when I'm raping that turbo swapped 93 with an sstc turbo wheel swapped with a car making more then 390hp to begin with its not about the dyno number you love so much its the powerband and power to weight. Hard concept for your pea brain to understand I know. Maybe you'll get it someday.
I have plenty to show for my car just not on your dead joke of a forum. You wanna see come to pa you can hear it idle in the garage. Oh that's right I haven't driven it for a few months. I have that convienence of not driving it in winter. It's funny though trying to bring my car into it and deter from the point but making yourself look like a fool. Go back to your dead forum and help a noob pick his air intake then you can beat off to a ported intake manifold zomg lmfaoooo fkboy.

My car cost 25k new, his SAAB cost 45k new. I put 2500 into mine, i make 330 ish to the wheels. he makes under 400 with the same money in mods ( which BTW, he will never, ever do because he is not a car guy ), has shitty gearing, and more weight... I bought mine used, for 16k and will have 2500 in performance total once uncle sam gets me my tax money, so I spend 18.5k TOTAL on car and performance, and have a sub 13 car on street radials... find me another newer car for that money running those numbers and times. MS3? cost way more to get to those numbers. NSTR4? Def. capable but do break a lot of **** running those numbers. CSRT4? Sure would be close but in my opinion an ugly, poorly built car. Idk if i remember correctly, stock the cobalt turbo was the fastest production car under 25 grand new...

He also posted numbers for a 2007, not a 2006 with those mods, theres a 40 hp stock difference just between that model year. Oh well, can't win em all right? Seems to have similar logic as my buddy who **** talks my car cause its a "cobalt" haha

oh gawd didnt even realize he had a supercharged... poor him... my mom used to have a N/A SS with an intake and exhaust, honestly didn't feel all that slower than the stock SS/SC we had at this dealer i detailed for a few years ago... only cobalts I have ever owned were 2 LNFs. I try not to hate on LSJ guys cause hey, it is still an SS, albeit an inferior one without proper modding or turbo swapping... I actually almost got a 2007 STI but the one dealer wouldn't finance me, then my cobalt popped up and within a day i drove it home. Aside from FWD malarcky, i couldn't be happier. still wanna trade it back in in a couple years though for a new genesis coupe or something else rwd and turbo if anything comes about worthwhile.

Hmmmmmm... Really............downpipe, intake and tune for e... I've already hit 360 and that was only 24lbs on a ko4 with a slow as ramp. And that was 23.5* now he is at 26* and 0 kr and 25 lbs so with just 600$$ um can you say its very achievable. Also i have quite a few bnrs and a few of those are on e.. would you like to know power? BTW im talking to the one who feels **** talking is smart. When in fact he knows starting **** will just make him look like poop dic*. ...

I'm not bashing a 9-3 tuned and modded slightly, just my buddies stock 06 which he thinks is awesome and will take me because "it's fast and has a 6th gear" as he says haha. trust me i have the utmost respect for anyone modding their car and tuning it, and id gladly run a modded 9-3, sti, evo, whatever... i dont like losing but if someone is driving something faster than high 12's on the street more power to them... but to make ignorant statements like " oh, i'll smoke that cobalt in my 9-3" just makes me want to take his money to prove a point.

Oh so you want to get really silly now? We now we have $25k to spend on making the highest HP? Or $45k?

Its all in the tune. The engine/turbo is the same.

360 is not 390. But thanks for trying!

this is really a stupid argument. if you take both cars brand new, and mod them, youre paying 20 grand for 30 hp? really. thats all it boils down to. i didnt start this thread to bash SAAB or start an argument at all, the whole point was to just let the CSS community know that, my friend, who should have a mustang for how cocky he is, talks mad **** on my cobalt, when he doesnt even know what a turbo does other than make a car faster. all i aid in my OP was hey, should i take my cocky friends money because i know hell drop it if i bait him. thats it, all i was saying.

im not stupid. i know a v6 with more displacement and a turbo will make more with mods obviously, because the formula for that is exponential and based on the turbo and displacement of the engine, so take similar turbos, one on a 2.0 and one on a 2.8 and the .8 exponentially makes more power. BUT, HE IS BONE STOCK, for the 10th time. AND i would NEVER buy a SAAB, if i was gonna drop that money, like I said, give me a beemer, or a benz, or better yet an EVO and use the cash to hit 11's or 10's.

yeah... $7500, with 100k miles big deal. my buddies has like 30k and i know what he paid for it used... a bit more than $7500... by all means if you want a car with that mileage to mod, go buy it more power to you, i wouldnt consider it unless it was a dsm or 240

Ok Eric since you went there... Abnormal retardation of posts. Dblock purchased his car for 5k and its a 08 lnf with 40k on it. So since you went there I'm going there. All he has done is dp and a intake.. add e to it and go to 24-25lbs and i can see him getting 340-350+ on the stock turbo. Pe he can upgrade the turbo and he's still under 2k and have 400+ whp
