I don't doubt that you beat the dude. I've beat a lot of cars that didn't give me a second thought. But Imagine me heading over to the Evo forums and posting that I killed an Evo on the highway with my mostly stock SS. **** would hit the fan.
There are also two main reasons why pretty much everyone in the car community hates us...
1.Most people either LOVE GM, or HATE GM...there's really not much inbetween. The ones that hate GM think that anything that GM produces is a pile of **** and is also a slow pile of **** to boot.
2.The other are owners of various other sport oriented vehicles that Don't like GM but understand that GM can and does produce strong contenders in the performance car market. These are the people that realize what we have and feel very threatend by it, so they hate it and us as well.
There is also a sub-class of Cobalt haters amongst the rest that doesnt fit in either of the two above. These are owners of GM vehicles like the Corvette and Camaro. These guys pretty much think that if it don't gotta V8 under the hood it aint worth a ****.
These are just some things I've noticed over the last 5 months of owning my car. Not everyone in the auto world is like this, but it's still pretty bad at this point. It may take a long time before our cars are excepted by auto enthusiasts as a whole, it's also possible that people may just always hate our cars. We will just have to wait and see.

The thing that upsets me, is if you look at all my posts on the SRT forums I've never said anything negative about the SRT-4, I've said on numerous accounts that I think they are awesome performers and that many of my friends drive them. And even after posting a dyno-sheet and a video, and STILL not talking bit of negativity, the excuses come flying in about "oh he was pulling in the end" "he was shifting slow" I mean c'mon, who are you to judge when you weren't even there when we were filming? I think it's really dissapointing that you cannot even try to "open" people's minds and show that hey Cobalt SS is a great performer too; maybe not as quick as the SRT-4, but it's still a great vehicle all around....but people just want to shoot you down like your a heretic throwing blasphemy around like monkey crap.

Yeah, the other races I was shifting pretty hard and when I'd hit 2nd gear the car would bog down bad from wheel hop. So I decided on that last race to kind of "ease" it into 2nd, I didn't get any wheel hop which helped out a lot. Granted my buddy Jay (SRT-4) was pulling pretty good, I think it was the extra RPM's on hand that helped me catch him while he was shifting.
In no way am I saying the cobalt is faster at all, in fact we were all surprised @ the outcome of the races (on and off camera), I just want to show people that it isn't an impossible thing to do.
BTW, thanks for being a little more open minded, all my friends w/ SRT-4's that I know are all cool guys....not sure why on the forums people want to be sour-****** for a lack of a better term.

That's like saying "I'm not racist, some of my friends are (insert ethnicity here)"
I know that has nothing to do with this but that just rang out in my head.
...not many people accept defeat...it makes there ego's shrink and simply pisses them off...it takes a true man to accept that he was infact defeated...but that defeat will only make him try harder to win next time.
thats how i am neways.

Don't post in this thread if it hurts your feelings.
For the rest of you. You all must be too lazy to DL that video that was posted. Well, do it then come on back with some sort of excuse. This is getting bad here lately. You all need to acknowledge that our car is not the end all of all. My wifes Legacy hands me my ass 0-60. Don't see me bitching about her AWD or that I "had a boost leak". The fact of the matter is this:
Someone came on here to give props and act civil. You all throw up the BS flag cause it makes it hard to sleep at night knowing someone got beat by a car that shouldn't have beaten it. It happens. People lose all the time.
Next person on this thread to hate on this guy personally will not like the outcome. There is no need in bashing him for what happen. How many guys come on here and throw on S1 and all this other CRAP and get like 217WHP!!! Tons, I have literally seen TONS of them.
Get over yourselves.

Even if you didn't intend to troll, you've seemed to **** off a lot of srt4 owners.
I've said this before:
