This guy at work thinks his 2002 Ford Escort Zx2 manual will beat my 2007 chevy cobalt 2.2 liter automatic.
Please tell me he is wrong.
PLEASE!!!!

 

Well kick his ass whether he's right or wrong!!!

 

1/4 mile times seem close. Looks like he could do under 16 seconds.

 

I think you should have him though...

 

man i feel like i have such a gay car now, his looks so damn gay but can beat mine supposedly.

 

u should win. dont worry. do the infamous 40mph roll the ss guys think its the **** supposidly.

 

id grab a intake maybe exhaust... that b&m shift plus? give ya that little bit of a edge...... or you could always spray it

 

you should beat him

 

lol i'm completely stock
Cept for my nightshaded side lights +10hp
and my intake res. +200hp
What do you guys think now?

 

Punch him in the face for driving a FORD! jk

I hate the work **** talkers

I work with all females

 

Ford ZX2

Power: SAE and 97 kW , 130 HP @ 5,750 rpm; 127 ft lb , 172 Nm @ 4,250 rpm

Curb weight (lbs) 2,478


Chevy Cobalt

Power: 110 kW , 148 HP SAE @ 5,600 rpm; 152 ft lb , 206 Nm @ 4,200 rpm

Curb weight (lbs) 2,730

 

Hmmm... Lemme drive down to Texas to watch the Longhorns play... and on the way, I'll stop in Dallas... and let you race him with my Car!

 

Cobalt weighs 252lbs more... not sure the extra 18hp will make any difference at that point.

But it is a new car/motor so i dunno...

go run already

 

Focus Power to Weight = .052

Cobalt Power to Weight = .054

It's all gonna come down to gearing

 

Lol

Then you can tell him to race a gay, slow neon!

 

So what's better.
This is a new language to me.
Noob in the place to be

 

Yeah... Stage 3 SRT's equals MEGA SLOW... those guys can't even hang with Hennessey Viper's!!!

Do it from a dig... You've got a lot more torque... and a better power to weight.

 

Yeah looks like gearing and driver ability. So strap your drivin' shoes on and go get'em.

 

Sometimes you just gotta shake your head and walk away.

 

And use Premium Gas! When you are racing him... jerk the wheel from side to side and act like you have a lot of Torque steer... that way when you lose, you can say,

"WTF? Did you see all that torque steer? I had to let off like 5 times!"

 

Im a give the advantage to you if you can drive

And yes, Stage 3 SRTs are slow

When my friend Chuck can run a 11.51 on 18psi and pump gas, while granny shifting, lol yes my **** is slow

He is tuned now for 609whp... damn I hate him. Check this video out.

what's.."from a dig"

dig = 0mph aka dead stop

Tell him you live your life a quarter mile at a time and will only race at the track!
