If you are a decent driver, you should win every time.

9.86 all stock in the 1/8 prolly about average driver then. Apparenlty he is talking mad **** my friend said. I told him to tell him how slow I was and ****. He knows its blown but he thinks the mighty 6 speed will own me. Race might go down tomorrow if all goes well. I need to make a video of this ****, I hate cocky ass people.

No, they're better. However against an SS S/C it's no competition. Since you said he's stock go ahead and ante up.

i raced one in 4th gear at 70 and he was in his top gear.(i should be in third) the kid had I/E maybe more. anyways i walked him pretty easy and by 100 i had a good 2-3 cars on him just from being in 4th! i only had I/E at the time. also i have driven my frineds and they arent that fast. but from a dig they have something we dont have...TRACTION!! lol good luck and if you can drive i would make some money

the Spec V would be faster with a five speed. it's got decent torque, the gearing is too close to use it. they hook pretty well for a front drive thanks to the LSD, but from a roll, an SC will rape one. a 2.4 is a pretty close race, drivers race.

Yes, it's a real car. I traded one in on my Cobalt. It's also a good car. It's a 4 door 2.5 liter 175hp 185ft/lb CVVT with a 6 speed gear box that weighs in at around 2700 lbs. While it is no match for a SS S/C in factory form, it's a good car with plenty of pep.

So I ran a shitty 9.7 today at the track, with a 2.4 60 foot. Took a Mustang Gt 4.6(01-04) from a dig. Didnt start passing till mid part of third, it was a girl driver too. This girl can drive, good like I thought there was going to be some scratching.

Whats a stock cobalt run in the 1/8 normally. I hear people are hitting 9.1 with just a intake. Kinda frustrating....
