Yo bro, great kill. that was exactly like my race expect the one i raced had a staged upgrade. U walked him nasty. man it feels so good when that happens. Also good job with posting it in streetfire. we need to start representing for the cobalt man. We need all the videos of all our kills out there so ppl can see we aint jokes.

Sounds like a good vid, but the links down

Says "Service Unavailable" when you click on it.

You can host it on this site for free if you can't get it back up, please re-host it if you can, we'd like to see it

Didn't expect you to walk him as bad as you did. Good kill.

moving to war stories. It's not drag racing unless you are actually at a drag strip.

Congrats on being an idiot

You can't possibly judge from the video as to whether the WRX was "racing" or not. The WRX and the SS S/C are a close match, and the SS S/C will outrun the WRX from a roll, especially at 70MPH. I have no doubt that the WRX in the video was in fact racing, if he hadn't been he would have been walked even worse.

The last thing we need around here is people like you coming over from the WRX sites just to troll around and be fanboys

i watched that vid again, but i noticed something and i'm not sure what it is exactly... it looked like there was a car right in front of the wrx as the guy turned around with the video to his front.... anyone else see if that was traffic or not?

Second race, there was DEFINITLY a car there when he turned the video camera around to look at the speedo...

this kid is on crack you did a few ricer fly-bys, not races

see, let me explain a race to you, seeing as you are new to the "i have a fast car club". First the OTHER DRIVER has to be aware that you are racing, usually initiated by a few nods or maybe a couple "I'm tougher than you" stares. Second, the race usually is started when one of the "racers" honks the horn 3 times , see that way both "racers" know that it's time to "get on it" Next, dont start a race you cant finish because of traffic up ahead, one its not fair to the guy with traffic in his lane, and its not safe kids

Oh and wrx's dont sound like that that my friend was another one of your notorious 2.5rs models

next time you want to race, video it, and post it up on the internet for everyone to make fun of at least make sure you let the other guy in on the race


your cobalt is teh fastAr

the WRX looked stock. So of course you would be able to beat it since wrx's lose a lot of power because of AWD. So if you really want to have a traditional race then do it from a stop and you will see what a WRX can do. I'm not hating or anything. I also want to race an SS just to see what kind of potential it has.
Well anyways nice kill.

The SS and WRX have very similair 0-60mph times. The WRX will get out quicker but the SS will reel it in after 25mph. This is a true drivers race!

I just want to know why the STI thread was locked and why the Mods Banned STILou...locking a thread is OK...banning someone for something stupid is pointless...

Are you kidding me "so ppl can see we aint jokes." When you talk like that people are always going to make a joke of you, I don't care what your driving. Furthermore you need to put something into perspective, your driving a Cobalt, not that there is anything wrong with that, but most serious sports cars are going to put a hurting on you. So relax slick, enjoy your car, and most importantly keep it safe.

U my friend are going to end up killing someone! I've seen you do a couple of stupid things, and its only a matter of time before someone gets hurt. I can only hope you get caught before someone dies.

At least this car didnt look like the one in the other video maybe this kid would be better off not posting videos but i'd have to say he was racing cuz when he got on the on ramp he did shoot out into the lane before even waiting to get around the turn completly
