Hmm lets see...I dont know what im talking about but my friend traps 106 mph and runs 12s with his setup right now, I never said that stis cant go faster than 100 mph but especially my friends wrx with 15 grand in it is nasty 0-100 and then after 100 it is still fast but it doesnt have that steam

traps 106 runs mid 12's

 

so your buddy put 15 grand in a wrx and for some strange reason it has an auto with tiptronic and it only runs mid 12's . You friend is an idiot. I could put 3k in a wrx and run 12's...

gimme 15k and a wrx and i will give you solid 10's low 11's at worst.

 

StinkBomb- I was referring to the kid w/the sti. Sorry that i missed a letter n you couldn't make out what i was saying even though it was pretty clear.

 

okay... so i whoop all over wrxs, but the sti was a little different... like i said i had the first run by like a car.... the second run, my clutch slipped when i shifted to 3rd.... the 3rd one.... i think i was back by like half car when all was said and done... the reason we let off is because of an oncoming turn in the road... im sure ill see the kid again soon enough and ill try to race him again and see what happens... each with no oen in the car.

I never even made it through 3rd gear... id say that i probably wasnt even half way through 3rd in any of those races... maybe the first one where i won by a car or so....

 

I owned a Stage 2 Cobalt with the GMPP Sport catback, CM FX400 and an Ingalls ETD. I can say the Cobalt is a **** box because it is, however that's not what I said. I had nothing but problems out of my old Cobalt and yes, it was slower than my STi when it was stock. I clearly paid 12 or so grand more for a faster, far better built car with much better handling, interior, resale value, 4 doors, AWD and zero head aches. Given the same treatment the STi is a better performer, the tougher of the two vehicles and suits my needs better. If you don't like it, take it up with your local Chevy dealer for selling you a slower, inferior car.

You guys can make claims all day about my friends car this and roll racing that, but roll racing is totally irrelevant to me because I don't street race and there are no tracks for me to be a ricer and roll race. All my car will ever see is zero to the finish line. And I don't need to bring up a friend of a buddies ex cousin who had a car that would pwn an f-16, I can speak from personal experience of owning both vehicles. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Sorry, I just saw woman driver and pointed out the obvious problem.

A WRX with 15 grand of mods would be considerably faster than mid 12's.

 

^^ You need to learn what your talking about first before you start making assumptions...front mount, intercooler piping, bigger turbo, custom TUNE with three phases of that tune street, track, and 110 octane mode, a automatic wrx that was transformed into a triptronic, full cage, dc sport front and rear sway bars, the list can keep going and going, hes finishing his build in the next couple of months and he will run 10's no doubt about it, he is friends with the shop owner of AR FABRICATION go look them up they have the highest wheel hp subaru, its so bad ass it breaks traction on the dyno, now if you wanna say your sti is inferior to the cobalt which in ways yes it is alot nicer of a car but for the money that should be the case....12 thousand dollars could buy me new seats so forth, and a much faster ***** out nasty ******* car than your sti...so whichever way you put it...Now just cuz you had problems with your ss isnt my problem or anyone else for that matter.... I had a point in saying that a stage 2 cobalt ss will beat the snot out of a stock sti from a roll I NEVER SAID A DIG THAT WASNT THE ARGUMENT

This just in your a ******* tool, 6 posts... And you try to insult...By the way that picture is idk how old but yah i like your originality

 

are you serious? all that money and power?? 15 grand isnt alot at all to run 10's especially in a subaru, he has every supporting mod there is axles and upgraded drivetrain and such his **** wont blow....By the way what do you run? 13.5's 13's??

 

subies as in stis??? If you can read i said his was a damn wrx not an sti....its a 02 or 03 wrx

and its a subbie with alot more supporting mods, thats why theres 15 grand in the car

 

triptronic huh? lol dc sport doesn't make front and rear sway bars for the sti or wrx....correct me if I'm wrong. Do you have links for this godawesome car?

 

sti's are slow...

 

You need to learn to read. I said that 15g's in a WRX should result in much faster times than mid to low 12's, as it turns out I'm right. My STi is not inferior to a Cobalt in any way. Show me where I said that the Cobalt being a huge peace of **** was your problem? Well, it's only a problem for you if you like reliability, handling, speed and resale. But anyhow the fact that Chevrolet produced an inferior product which I mistakingly bought isn't your problem, it's just a fact of life. I'm not blaming you for GM's shortcomings, I'm merely pointing them out. And there you guys go again, "I have a friend who has XXXX car". Just shut the **** up about what someone else has, you don't have it, so go **** up a rope. Then there's the classic ricer "if I put 12g's into my car then yeah, I'd be like, the Samel L Jackson of Ecotaks". Once again, you don't have 12g's into your Cobalt, so **** up a rope. At the end of the day you have a Cobalt, which is just one step above a Cavalier. A Stage 2 Cobalt will not "beat the snot out of a stock STi". And even if somehow we were transported to the alternate reality you are living in where it could, from a roll wouldn't matter to me because there is no roll racing at the track. Have a nice day, I hope you make it back and forth to work with no problems.

Cobalts are slower, and break down....alot.

 

i want triptronic. Is that some kind of auto drive? It's like, you shift, but the car does the trip part for you... maybe my car will "transform" into a "triptronic"

 

lol umm want me to go take pictures?? I bet you that there are dc sports items for the wrx, and its the best strut bar and rear sway bar on the market

It sounds like we hit a nerve....lol...do you really live in japan?? Cuz damn ill go tell bush to go drop the bomb...oh yah, how much do you pay for your sti also? This god of a car must be so nice... First of all you ******* idiot, i dont want no damn subaru cuz if i wanted one i can go right now and buy the piece of ****... I merely stated a fact of how the tuning is on the wrx/sti and how iam around those ******* cars all the time because of one of the best tuning shops for wrx/stis...Also, i also like the ricer excuse that is so widely used..."I have a subaru, im ******* fast, dont **** with me, i got big *****, no one can touch"...Quite frankly WHY THE **** ARE YOU IN THIS ******* FORUM you dumb ass douche bag...Apparently your dumb ass hasnt had any good experience with your old cobalt so you assume that it is the same for 99% of other cobalt owners....

 

hm never had one problem with my heavily modded cobalt maybe its the drivers...

 

whats your definition of heavily modded?

 

[QUOTE=2fastSS;1444845]lol umm want me to go take pictures?? I bet you that there are dc sports items for the wrx, and its the best strut bar and rear sway bar on the market

If you read my post right I DID say that I wanted to see a link of this so called triptronic/dc sport equipped wrx...photos would suffice

 

lol ok stay on ill go meet him at bdubs right now take pictures of his dc sport strut bar, engine bay, and his triptronic shifter

 

^^^^^^^^ Yep and then reliability goes right out the door! lol

No chance in hell that a Stage 2 Cobalt has even come close to an Evo IX, unless the Evo has a bad driver. Those cars run low 13's STOCK. What do cobalts run with STAGE 2 mods?

High 13's.

btw my last car was an 07 SS/SC so I know what there all about. Nice if you don't plan on modding them and have a kicka$$ sound system (better then the one in my Evo). I had it for 7 months and did nothing but put a tint on it because I knew it wasn't worth it. I instead made a nice downpayment on my Evo.

Sure Evo's/STI's might cost about $10 more from the start, but they have much much more potenial (espeically the Evo IX's) then the Cobalts. How much does a custom turbo kit for the Cobalts run INSTALLED/TUNED? Stock turbo IX's are in the 11's easily with less then $2500 in mods.

 

^^^ lol your a ******* idiot...Uhh no **** that a damn evo runs better IN THE 1/4TH but from a roll race a stock sti/evo will get their ass handed to them by a stage 2 cobalt...also my friend who has the mid 12 second wrx who will be a 10 second wrx soon will be in this thread soon enough to shut you dumb ***** up that have stis and evos and dont know **** about the cobalt or even your car for that matter

 

so you are making a new account with a different signature are you? You are blowing smoke out your ass. Your friend would not put a "triptronic" in his car if he was spending 15k and making a track beast, i can absolutely garuntee that, unless he is mentally challenged. BTW its tiptronic just fyi. oh and until i see any proof of that wrx, im going to assume it just doesn't exist all together because it basically sounds like a fast and the furious car...ya know, the rwd 9 speed evo, the skylines that can fly, etc. and if you think any of the most recent model sti's or evo's will "get their asses handed to them" by a stage 2 only cobalt in ANY measure of performance, i'd like to know how much mercury you drank today.

oh and btw i would be comfortable betting money i know more about your car, sti's and evos than you do. How can i come to this conclusion?

1. You obviously have no idea whats going on from an automotive market/engineering standpoint.
2. You dont even change your own oil.

 

ok guys im the guy wit the "fast and Furious" wrx...... first off sum specs were missconstrewd.. first off i have Dc sport titanium frnt and rear strut tower bars...

i want pics it sound badass... dont dissapoint me, lol

i remember you from nasioc, and iwsti, i believe

 

You're so retarded it hurts. Honestly, were you born that stupid or did you have to work on it? I do actually live in Japan, because I'M A US MARINE. Nothing would make me happier than to listen to the phone conversation between you two and hearing the President explain to you how retarded your request is, and how he thinks that abortion would probably have been a good choice for your parents.

Now that we have that peace of business out the way lets move on the rest of your "argument". I never suggested that you did want a Subaru(though it's clearly the winner) so I'm not sure why you would inform me that you could buy one at any time but sure pal, buy what you choose. There are plenty of excellent tuning shops for Subaru's, what's your point? Just because you live around a tuning shop doesn't mean you have any more knowledge or experience than anyone else, especially since you don't own a Subaru. You're right though, I'll go ask a Cobalt owner what's up with a Subaru, because that's real rewarding. Owning a Subaru is not a ricer excuse, it is a fact of life. We're not talking about just any Subaru or any Cobalt. We're talking an STi and a Stage 2 Cobalt which the STi happens to be the superior of the two. I am on this forum because I used to own a Cobalt(that would be why I joined) it's amusing to read, and I like to see real enthusiasts(not you obviously) make break throughs by actually modding their car(the reason I stayed). As far as reliability do yourself a favor and just do a search on this forum for things like, my engine blew up, oh no #4 went again, my clutch, my tranny, warranty claim this, warranty denied that. Go ahead and take that 99.9% and change it into a 20-30% and that's how many people I think feel close the way I do about the reliability of the Cobalt.

It would seem that I hit a nerve with the whole "the STi is a better car" thing. You should probably fill one of these out and turn it in to a mod.

 

^^^lol!

 

hmm wow... first of the ******* remark about you living in japan was a damn joke, its pretty apparent that all i have to do is click on your name and find out every thread that youve been in.... Obviously im not that stupid, i wouldnt serve under a **** head of a president that your serving under right now...Thats why im waiting for his term to be up, till that other president comes into office and im joining.... Also, i never said that the damn subaru as in your sti was inferior to a cobalt or a cobalt is inferior to a sti....all i said was that a damn stage 2 cobalt will beat a STOCK sti...FROM A ROLL....I never said dig

Also, as you know most people are blowing **** up on these cars for what reasons? They have a lean ass tune, they overspun their blower, no supporting mods.... so on as you should know you owned a cobalt...Also yes there are plenty of excellent tuning shops for subarus but AR is the best go do your research on them and you will find that out...Im not sitting here acting like i know everything about subarus because believe me i dont... I actually do like the car though, and have tried to learn a little bit about the car myself... What were ur mods by the way on your old piece of **** cobalt??
