Cobalt ss turbo vs Mazda speed 3

Going home from work and I ran across this red Mazda speed 3. As I pull up next to them, the passenger window comes down and the passenger starts recording. We ran from a 40 in the highway. As soon as my tires get traction( tires are gone BTW up for suggestions, feel free to comment) I start to pull. We ran a dig. I was starting to pull on them but had to let off because of construction up front. All in all it was a good race and the dudes in the Mazda were pretty cool. Their exhaust sounded pretty good too.

Year know. Lol My tires are pretty much gone. I'm doing a lot of research on which ones to get. I want something with good life but still good traction. I know a lot of people go for nt05 for grip, but this car is my dd.

If you want really good tires for cornering and pretty good grip, get Goodyear Eagle Asymmetrics all season. I love this tire!

Yep. Not many people know about the sedans. It hurts many people to know a 4 door Cobalt kicked ass lol. This is exactly why I haven't added an exhaust.

Thanks brother. I've been in many races, this one just happen to be recorded by the guy I was racing.
I don't like posting in war stories unless I have film to back it up. Might need a gopro soon.

Same here, have a downpipe but stock exhaust and it's staying that way.

One of the meets I go to a guy came up to me and said "I'm confused about your car, it's a 4 door cobalt will brembos on the front"

I like the Nitto 555r I have now. Good traction wet and dry and the life span has been good. I have about 20k on them (did not rotate) and the fronts are not quite to the wear bars yet). Rears have about 50%. They would have easily done 25k or more with proper rotations.

I got a set of kumhos and I think it's a really great tire especially in my area where rain and snow can happen one day and have a heat stroke the next day. I would get them especially with that price!!

Saw this on you tube the other day. Had me lol for a good minute. Guys in the ms3 were giggling like school girls, which was the best part, actually enjoying the race. I say this cuz to many people hate on the cobalt and nobody knows about the 4 door tc.

What side of houston are you at?
