The tc can't run a smaller wheel than 17 inches. Unless we swap the brembos for ss/sc calipers.

 

It is true. And i did look into that. I enjoy more taking something that is an underdog, but a very strong platform to begin with. I was not speaking rice. I wasn't bashing anyone. However, it is true that if you put the difference of cost into our cobalts.. they would be a car others wouldn't believe. Could be more stylish... seems others would like that.. and a lot more powerful. Strip or course.. whatever you would like. Look at it this way.. if Lingenfelter wanted to play with a Cobalt SS... people would be in awe. It's not rice to say that. Your mentality of rice is your own. I can see your point though, but in a few more years when someone can buy a used SS/SC or SS/TC for 8-10 thousand and put 2-5k into it. What do you have? I'm not here to argue. We all enjoy our vehicles and what they are capable of. Where's the love?

 

Its really not surprising. Stock 350/370's will run a low to mid 13 @ 103-106ish depending on weather. A bolted and tuned SS/TC traps way higher than that and is easily a 12 second car.

 

very well put

because the z ran out of steam up top and the cobalt was still pulling. thats how

 

im suppose to race a evo x and his friends 370z

 

i was like wow these guys arent dousches when i was reading that thread. also the only cars ill race from a dig are cobalts. lol and they are the ones i beat. drivers race then

Probably not...
But I haven't been around this site long.

IMHO, this whole top end thing is kinda BS - and here's why;

after you get past the quarter mile mark, normally (regaurdless as to what you're driving, you're in 4th (1:1) or higher - then going to top speed is purely torque curve & about your transmission gearing and nothing else... geared correctly, and w/o a speed limiter you could probably get about any pos up there...

BTW: if it matters, I was neither intending to imply that my car is faster (in the quarter) than a 350z, or that I do anything like what was in that video - hense the track shot in my sig.

 

The point is this: the aftermarket is ALWAYS cheaper. Give me a goal comparable to any production car and I can beat it for the money. Hell, with $25,000 TOTAL I could build a fox body that will walk any production car in existence in a straight line. If I had an aveo and the difference in cost between it and a cobalt ss/tc, I could not only make the aveo faster, but make the aveo WAY faster. The possibility of the cobalt being faster with x amount of money means absolutely nothing. That's his point.

I'm not dense enough to NOT understand that. Do you not understand my point? My point, is that whatever one drives, they choose it for a reason. It may be money limits, tastes in perforamance or styling. To each on their own. For the crowd that primarily buys Cobalts.. i'm guessing its a bit of each. In my previous post.. i made a reference to making it better in the aspect that i'm into. I'm not arguing that one could buy an old used fox body and make it a 10 or less second car. You can do that for ALOT less than $25,000. You could build 2 of the same 10 second car for that almost and possible to still have money left over.A guy at the station did just that. I think its awsome.

The aftermarket is affordable in the most part. My reference was to lingenfelter.. they have delt with vettes, TA's, i think even a VW beatle at one time. It's similar to Rousch for mustang. If you can afford it go for it. Its a retoricle answer for the most part. The answer is already given and there is no need to further "our" conversation.

 

No you really don't. Especially on Youtube video comments involving an SS/TC. Whether the Balt wins or loses, several people are ready to bash within minutes of the vid being posted. I've seen plenty of Turbalt bashing on Honda and Mistu forums.

 

back on topic guys or another thread is going to be closed for bickering

 

that's actually a huge surprise that people actually aren't bashing the cobalt. i always go on youtube and watch videos where the cobalt gets no respect at all. so sad

 

Most hot tempered cocky young kids own imports which leads to them hating domestics. That's the price we pay for owning cars that hold their value a little better then a Honda

 

true that my friend

 

what the ****?

Did you just say Cobalts hold their value better than a Honda?

 

Go Cobalt, its your bday.

 

You're not shooting for the stars here. There are plenty of car communities that respect other cars. You can't expect a group of Honda guys to respect other cars because they are probably the most hated of all car communities and youtube is just a breeding ground for retardation.

It looks like most of them respect the cobalts over there pretty well.
it wasnt a ricer fly by they were both still racing, but if it was a 1/4 mile the balt would have lost

 

Domestics in general.

 

ummm im sorry to say but hondas hold value better.

but on a side note.

SS/TC=1

370Z=0

/thread.. and bitching. lol

Never ever post again!

Everyone that isn't a ricer knows the Z won.

 

Congrats you found a bunch of values before every one knew their Toyota was out to kill them
