whats faster a stage 2 cobalt or a stock ls1 gto?

 

this is gonna stir the pot
ibtl.

the LS1 GTO is faster for damn sure at the track, and there will be a huge debate about the roll races. i never raced an ls1 gto, but i lost to an ls2(by alot), and i was a good bit more modded than stage 2

 

well i have a cobalt ss/sc and i am looking at getting one of these

 

then get one, its got more potential, and is just all around nice.

gas guzzlers ftl

 

listen, and listen carefully. NOTHING beats a GTO, ever. the GTO is the car equivelant of Chuck Norris.

/thread

but on a serious note, the faster car is the one you put the most work on.

 

you could go with a stage 3 setup. i'm pretty sure that would walk a gto

 

oh sweet jesus

 

why would you even ask if ANY car can beat a gto...jesus christ!!! no car can beat the almighty gto not even a bugatti or ferrari damnit

 

we should just put a "no GTO threads!" banner on the homepage...

 

So far, theres a ls1 gto with just long tube headers running 12.5's with slicks....but it's a bit of a freak...I'd say from a

Dig: GTO
Roll: Drivers race until like 100-120

 

gto owns even jesus himself

 

Why bother with the ls1, get the ls2. Better yet, why bother with a gto? If you want a v8 get a terminator cobra.

 

Get an LS2 or don't get one at all.

 

Gto's are super slow. Just get one so you can be slow also.

 

ahah waiting for all the GTO owners to arrive......

 

slow pigs that they are. NOT. i have a 04 yj or yellowjacket 6sp stock. it is bad to say when my son had to put in around 2500$ in his srt4 just to beat my stock gto. and i have raced alot of the ss's, and they are slower than my son's srt4. now i am not bashing anyone's car. i like the ss's over the ugly srt4, it's just that you have to put so much denero into a 4 cyl turboed or not to get it to go real fast... unless it is a sti or a lancer. and they are not that fast stock... gto's are not fast cars. termi's and 06-07 vettes are, i do not get on here much, iand i do not get on here to start flameing or putting down others cars just because i drive a gto... as of now stock for stock my 04 will run s half car behind a 06 gto in the qtr. it has happened many many times at the track. and i have beat a few also. when i do get on here i like reading what you guy's have done with your cars as i had a sunfire before the goat that would rip the ash off of a dodge intrepid. it was stock just custom exhaust and was a fairly fast car. hope you guy's have fun and mod the heck out of them.

 

get an 02 trans am, much cheaper, much faster....

sry, didn't mean to say much faster, just faster..

 

F-Bodies are garbage. C5 or nothing

 

HERE! Checking in

Anyway, to the OP. If I had to choose, I would definitely go with the Goat, only because it has more potential...A LOT more.

What are your main priorities/goals with a car?

Is it gas mileage?
Is it looks?
Is it modability? (If that's even a word)
Streetability?

 

^^true you have too look at all the different views of the cars...


gas milage- cobalt wins
looks- honestly it can either way but IMO the cobalt looks nicer..wingless though...
Modability- GTO wins
Streetablility-lol not going there...

now I have seen an ion redline take down a 6.0 goat... but i mean hes runnin like a 2.8 or something like that... and was running crappy... (he had a slipping clutch and a clogged cat)

but i mean its all about what you want... dont ask what we like because everyone has different taste...

honestly... I say its dead even so go with what you like...

 

uh, yeah, i guess if you want all the problems associated with the C5 (speed sensors, turn signal switch, ect.) and you want to pay $5000 more.

Don't get me wrong, a 2001 C5 is going to be my next car, but i was just adding what kids my age like. Trans ams, and no they arn't garbage...

 

You own an LT1. You should be agreeing with me.

 

ROTF, that is so true, its just i got tired of getting beat by them so i had to put the spray on my lt1 just to beat bolt on ls1's, the ls1 it is a tough sun of a bitch.

Now on the other hand, i handed a 6.0L auto gto his ass, and i wasn't even spraying.

 

Go ls1 goat, then go aps twin turbo, build the engine somewhat, and run 15 lbs. Or sts single rear mount...which is cheaper...it's the route I want to go when I can get my hands on a gto

 

lol 15 psi would be something rediculous. LS1's are making near 600whp on just 8psi.
