Thats right... $80,000 family sedan.

"In testing, the 4.8litre showed that the new 750iL badge is more than a marketing ploy. Zero to 60 required just 5.4 seconds, a substantial improvement over the 745's already best-in-class 6.0-second mark, and the quarter-mile came and went in 13.9 seconds at 103 mph"

my buddy is rich and his dad drives it.


Here is a speedo shot from 0-155mph (taken last year... didnt have the camera for the race)

Its pretty quick...



Anyways.. he wants to go from a Dig... ****.. i dont practice that.


3 honks, i get jump and rev it up near 4k, (i hate dig races when im nervous, hard to feather the throttle)

Now i dont know if you guys know anything about the v8 bimmers, but they can launch HARD.... 1.9 60' is not a big deal to them...

I EDGED him a little bit on the launch... roaring up to 6500rpms, shifted into second, then it happend.... CLUTCH SLIP... ****.... i let off the gas completely.... then nail it again... CLUTCH SLIP... wtf??? bye this time it was time to shift into 3rd gear... CLUTCH SLIP... WTF? i let off again... then nail it.. CLUTCH SLIP


So basically the whole time it sounded like i was revving... letting off... revving..... that is what he said it sounded like.

Want to know the best part? I was at his rear bumper the WHOLE time. Oh man, if i didnt slip in 2nd and 3rd, i would have put easily 2+ cars on this high 13 second saloon.

I was so mad at first because of all the driving i do with the technique that is supposed to kill the glazing... But then i realized, it was because i got too nervous/anxious and accidently revved it to 4krpms and the clutch def. did not like that.

He promised a rematch again...




*i also raced him from a 50mph roll, and he was in sport mode (manual mode, kinda) and put 2-3 cars on him by 90mph.

 

14 seconds is slow as **** , especially for a stage 2 cobalt

 

you fail.


did i NOT say my clutch is slipping the whole time?


learn to read.

 

yeah man ive driven one of those BMW's before they are pretty fast for such a big ass car.. too bad you didnt beat him from the dig..Good race tho..

 

A.K.A. roll racing... A.K.A. seeing which car is faster, not which has the better driver.

 

A.K.A RICER

 

Damn you guys are really quick to gang up on someone huh? Give the kid a break ....clutch slipped.....I know you can not say it has never happened to you... It seemed like a decent race to me I wanna know how it goes the second time around...

 

i will never turn down a dig race... hell.. most of the people i race want to go from a roll. If it were up to me it would be from a roll, but i will never turn down a dig race



and you think roll racing is for ricers? go say that on SVTperformance.com and you will get your ass laughed off that board faster than you can say ricer.

 

14 sec slow for stage 2..what with just stage 2 we should be in the 13's.. not being stock other then that.. i can't seem to get there..hard to get that good launch in 1st...

 

we dont have mustangs, or camaros here... we cant really go from digs.. not sure why you guys are calling it rice.

our cars just are not good at digs. I have never seen a person get better than a 2.1 60' on street tires on this forum. These cars have too much torque for how light weight they are.

 

your not driving a low 12 second svt cobra your driving a 14 second cobalt , learn to dig race

 

nice race bro
not sure what these guys are on your case about bc you raced from a roll or you clutch slipped eitherway good race
lets get a vidio on the rematch

 

I know how to dig race.. thank you very much. I out launched a 750iL.. i think i know how to launch it

 

i do 90% of my races from a roll.

sorry, the group of guys i run with average 1.5-1.6 60ft's

a little fwd cobalt is NOT going to do that on street tires. get off his ass.

 

Not only that, the cobalt wasn't designed to be "launched." It's design was based on being an autocross car. So it's understandable that this car is hard to launch, probably harder than most FWD cars.

 

umm hell yea..

i had a 13 second Grand Prix GTP.. and that thing launched like a RWD car.


it was not uncommon to get 1.9 60's on stock tires.

(look a few threads down... we did a rematch with a video)

 

I like your whip noce rims too...

 

I love how it tells you that you are going over the speed limit, hahaha.

 

80,000???damn i can get an evo, sti and s/c for that price i rather have 3 cars than 1

 

that red 2.4 needs to go screw himself. good race man
