Fact is, fast and slow are relative, and compared to cars that were in it's price class (you could buy a new one for $18k, if you knew where to look) and relative to the Cobalt SS's (the main subject of this site), they are not "slow" in the 1/4-mile.




OK... well then, I'm sorry you don't like the term "Red Herring".

Next time, I'll just say, "Your argument is irrelevant to the topic at hand" or something like that.
off topic works too . I will take that though. Anything but the BS logic that a bunch of drunken high idiot philospohers decided to "establish" one day.

ok... I'm not getting into a pissing match. A v8 that takes a power adder to get above 300whp is not fast by any means... Did I say ANY means? At that it won't even surpass 350 in most cases.

DISCLAIMER: This is my opinion and not God's word.

Is there better blaine?

WOW....

Maybe you should actually learn something about engines and what makes power before you start running your mouth about **** you obviously know nothing about.

Look at every other V8 out on the market; they all have more displacement (5.7L+) with a much higher compression (10.5+:1). If you knew about engines and making power you would know those two things are big factors. Ford makes motors with lower compression (9.5<) and smaller displacement (4.6L). The advantage is they can run more boost safely. I know multiple people that have made 500+rwhp on the stock internals on the 2V even though 450rwhp is the safe mark.

You can't just look at a engine and say its weak by the power it makes when your comparing it to motors that were mainly built to run NA hence the higher CR and displacement.


FYI my car made 375rwhp on 7-8psi with just exhaust; this was through an automatic too.

I'm guessing you meant to ask, "Is THAT better, Blaine?"... and the answer would be no.

Again, Fast and slow are relative. When the 99-04 Mustang GT is compared to cars in it's price class (as little as $18k, new) and specifically the Cobalt SS, it is not "slow" in the 1/4-mile.

Compared to a Z28, Vette, Cobra, etc... cars that are able to be more performance-focused from the factory, you're right... it's not fast.... but that's not what the comparison here.

I don't think my cobalt is fast so don't try and argue with me.
The only mustang worth owning under 35K is a 03/04 Cobra. 3 valve mustangs are garbage. An Fboat / LS2 Goat will walk all over them stock and with the same amount of money invested.

Here is a perfect example of how shitty the 3 valve really is.

Wow this thread is completely worthless, so might as well add to it.

OP: congrats on (lemme see if I can get this right), killen a wak stang gt yo, dat race musa ben ouf da huk.

To the logic people, yeah, philosophy blows, but you took the class dude, ya coulda dropped it. Most philosophers are arrogent ******, that's just how philosophy is...and this is coming from a guy who's taken at least 4 upper level philosophy classes.

To the V8 pissing match guy. Here's an Idea...Ferrari V8 > All.

F430------2010 Camaro-----2010 Mustang
4.3L V8-----6.2L V8 ----------4.6L V8
490 HP ------425 hp----------- 315 hp

More horsepower, and less displacement than both...yet those cars will still be eating the dust of the Ferrari...
