Ran an IS-F tonight

We were spectating a couple of vette's in front of us and when we all took the hit the IS-F started about a half a car in front. I reeled him in ever so slowly, up till we were about even when we let off. Pretty fun!

Best part is we both left a GTO back pretty badly. I have no idea what mods were on it other than at least a cat-back and/or cutout.

An IS-F with any mods would pull your Cobalt pretty good. My Brother is really good friends with a guy who owns one and it sits on my street almost every night and I've seen it race many times. With exhaust and intake only he put down around 360whp. From a 40 roll and 60 roll he lost by about 2-3 cars against a bolt on S197 Mustang with a 150 shot of nitrous. That thing runs up to 170mph with ease. These cars are no joke, and with the mods I have my Cobalt wouldnt stand a chance.

The IS-F is only running about 13s flat. Its weight is its downfall(3780lbs) So its very possible a tuned/bolted ss/tc could get it, if its stock

You're saying I'm delusional when you're blatantly proclaiming that I raced a different car when you weren't even there to witness it? You just applied the definition of delusional to your own statement.

Not to mention the fact that both Stamina and Stenguyen1 both saw it as well, in person, at the car show.

I guess tuned SS/TC's with catless downpipes are going mid 12's at 112mph now. Better tell all the tuned SS/Tc's everywhere else in the country that their cars must be running on 3 cylinders.

Tofu's car is seriously fast. His custom tune is making more power for the boost than my Trifecta Infiniboost tune.

I can vouch for the kill.. I was there. That is why I'm post #2 on here, since we both got home from it at the same time that night.

370 lb-ft at the crank in a RWD and automatic transmission configuration, and 3800 lbs in weight... this isn't rocket science.
