SS S/C vs. GTO

last night me and my buddies went down to division st to see what was goin on. were there for bout 15 - 20 minutes and this dude in this yellow gto wants to see some cobalts race so he walks up to my car and yells out "whos car is this". so i go and talk to him and he wants to race me and all that so i said why not. im a little nervous cuz ive had this carfor 2 weeks now and its my first stick and ive never raced anybody before. so we line up and i rev it to about 2 grand and we take off. he got a good jump on me but i kept up with him. then shifting into second i fucked up but i was still right next to him. goin into third i was gainin on him but he got me. my front tire was right in front of his back tire thats how close it was. for my first race expecially againts a gto i thought i did pretty damn good.

I dunno about this race. It doesn't seem like the GTO guy knew how to drive. It should walk a Cobalt stock for stock, especially up top.

GTO's are slow, I cant even touch stock Cobalts. Make sure you bet alot of money on that race.

You got that right. From a roll you should smoke GTO's. Typical GTO owners don't know this though, if I were you I'd find a GTO and race him from a roll for like $100. I bet they'd be dumb enough to do it!

and the reason is that they dont think about having trouble launching. whereas that ALWAYS crosses our minds when racing.

That GTO sounds quieter than a farting monk taking a vow of silence. I believe your story more than the video and I saw the video. Here's another video. Granted this LS1 is "lightly modded" but the exhaust note indicates that the GTO driver is going WOT. Judge for yourself.

What a GTO sounds like at WOT versus a SS/SC

1 exhaust pipe or 2? Still don't see a Stock SS/SC with a newbie driver hanging with an obvious 5.7L GTO. He must have sucked at life... that happens.

This video is our very own HATRICKSTU... he is a very good driver as well. You can probably PM him and ask him about the race if you want.

Exactly, launching a rwd car takes no skill. Just drop the clutch, and poof GONE. However those Cobalts have a very strong top end. Especially third gear, no way a GTO is beating one from a roll.

Ya so i guess your proud of your 400hp boat, **** LS1 Z'S AND T/A'S make a joke of ls2 goats, my frieds stage 2 srt-4 beat a headers/exhaust LS2 by 3 cars..........be proud, and my redline made a joke of an LS1 goat at the track, hmmmm i love seeing them run mid 14's all night long. And you did not trap 110 stock in your GTO, i would love to see proof of those times.

Why couldn't he?

There are people trapping 110 in Cobalts with less than 400hp.

I'm highly amused by the GTO slamming in this thread, lol.
