im both the cobalt and the srt, ive had 2.4's. last one i had in the srt was a 2.7 (on slicks with 25 psi, i was scared to snap a axle), 14.7 @ 115 lol. the srt has alot of wheel hop, i got new mounts but they arent solid
A 2.4L definitely puts him with Z06's. The rest is all in the tune to determine if he can beat them or not. Has he raced any?
Shibito, A friend of mine had an 3.4 whipple on his 03 and boy that car was a riot. It was a completely streetable car that made in the high 600whp on pump gas...I want to say 680ish whp and about the same torque. He never got a decent run out of the car due to clutch issues unfortunately. My mustang traps 131 and his car scared me lol...id say it was about a 135ish trap car.
He got a good deal on a built 5.4 with a turbo setup and a c4. Dropped that in the car and hated it. He ended up selling it not too long after the swap.

Yes hes mainly raced modded C5 Zs but has ran into a few C6s. Theres a guy around here with a ZR1 hes trying to run but he wont
Hes pulled them. There were mainly close to stock though some had intake tune etc. Ill never forget the night that a turboed C5 ran him. He lost but faired fairly well. And i hear u on the ZR1s theyre either modded or old men drive them and wont run lol
He also has a heavily built and modded 86 gt fox that has a low comp built 347 with a paxton that made 640whp. So his ass gets to pick what to run that night lol. The 86 has a 410 gear though mainly a strip car. Althouh i tease him because both were bought not built by him and me being a tech i give him **** all the time
Nice, and definitely. Has he ever autocrossed the car? I want to so bad, wish there was a track closer then 3 hours away though.
Yes VIR is only about a hour and a half drive from us. Its more of a road course than auto x, although they do both there. It handles quite well and in the straights well....
Well I meant road course lol. Auto-x (on average) is too small for most Cobalts on this site even.
I assumed thats what u meant. I feel its to stressfull on any car while auto xing i personally do circle track which is fun. The track i run at does one on one drags too pretty hairy side by side in the turns lol
Yea, full bolt on srt 4s are pretty quick. They can be pulled on by a fully bolted lnf but not a whole lot. Seems like their biggest limiting factor is that stock turbo and they have the same problem with running out of the efficiency range on the car's stock turbo. This guy around here has already blown two engines from running too much boost on that skimpy turbo but he says he likes the way it spools...Fast car but that sure is costly...dunno if he actually upgraded his bottom end on the 3rd engine or not.
