theres a lot of TBSS guys on ls1gto, so i'm learnin bout your car too. lol

i was basing this on the fact i put $8k-$9k into my cobalt, and with that, i can buy a TVS2300 and a forged rotating assembly to handle it (anywhere from 383-402 on stock block). throw a couple hundred more for a fueling solution to this tho, and another couple grand for a stronger rear end, and you're looking at a possible 1000bhp build here...

s/c is so much on these cars about 5500 for a maggie. which is why im gonna leave my truck at just my current mods then add a flt trans with yank ptb3600 stall and hit 12.8-13.0 all day in 5000lb suv lol

And then they are a blast!!! So easy to drive sideways. Do you know anything about driving through the side window? Probably not unless you have some lunch trays...

Nut swinger comment if I've ever seen one. You sure got defensive over a Fully bolted Cobalt SS beating a very lightly modded GTO.

its already been proven that fully bolted lnf (30psi) will lose to a headers/tune ls2 gto.
i swear some ppl on here when they get a tune think they have the worlds fastest car, glad im not associated with these ppl anymore

The same goes for some V8 owners too. They think it's impossible for a bolted and tuned SS to beat a STOCK or lightly modded V8. Heavily modded V8 newer then 2000 is most likely untouchable for a LNF without a bigger turbo.

It did seem like it was a LS1 rather then a LS2 for how much he pulled. I pulled a couple cars on a bolted LS1 GTO when I was tune only and DP which would have put me around 300whp. He stopped my pull about 110-120 though. Let off at 130.

Yea. I wish there were more LS2 GTO's around here. There's next to none here. Hardly any LS1's either. God has shat Mustangs and Camaro's everywhere though

Some of you guys on here obviously have very little experience with LSX cars and other cars in general.

Yes, the Cobalt SS T/C's are quick. Yes, they make peak torque at a low RPM. But the reality is that you aren't even going to beat even a stock LS2 GTO with Cobalt SS unless you have some serious mods.

My friend has an '05 LS2 GTO and I've driven it plenty of times. It will absolutely destroy a Cobalt SS T/C stock for stock. With mods it just gets worse. And everyone knows FWD sucks for traction, so you aren't winning any dig races either.

true story. Saw a 1900 kit used for sale for $4k though, so thats what im gonna try and do. CARB # coming soon, so i can make 500-600whp without even breaking smog laws.
might get some AFR 215's first though to tide me over...also CARB legal

Not trying to say I don't believe you man, don't take it that way. Anything can happen given specific conditions.

Just saying I've driven both cars, and i just don't see a Cobalt SS beating up on an LS2 M6 GTO, both drivers being equal. And like I said, thats from personal experience, having driven both cars.
