Cobalt SS 2.4 vs RSX-S w/video

Cobalt SS (2.4 I/H/E/Tune)
RSX-S (Stock)

40 mph roll on XXXXXX. RSX had about a fender jump before I got on it. Still a good run.

well mine is just the 2.4 N/A balt with bolt ons so i'm sure that you really shouldn't have a problem even completely stock.

The camera man was trying to catch the Evo vs Cobra race in front but this race was closer so it was a last minute change to what was being recorded.

I ran a 14.2 @100mph stock, and I have never been confronted by a RSX-S that could even get close to me. After stage II, exhaust, downpipe, intake, they were no longer even worth my time. 13.5 @ 108mph...Then I met a middle aged guy with a RSX-S and a snail under the hood. I regret thinking I could beat him

A few months later he got a taste of my Syclone from a dig. I think I pulled 4 cars by 30mph

not counting some of the monster cars on this site, a stock SC should watch out for my car... and it's "just" a 2.4

rsx's are typically better at getting out of the hole than the ss/sc's. they run a 6 speed with a sky-high 4.77 final drive and 8100 rpm rev limiter to make the most of their measly 136 lb-ft of tq. they respond well to intake, header and full exhaust and a tune

but a pullied, tq dampered, tuned and cooled lsj will always walk, if the driver can drive

good kill

yeah anytime an RSX-S beats an SS/SC its due to driver mod

I doubt you'll beat an SS/SC either unless you go from a dig and the other driver is having traction problems
