SS/SC vs MS3

This one has actually been in the works of getting some good runs in. Any ways, guy at work owns a MS3 always talks about his war stories so I asked if he wanted to run the Cobalt. He got moved to a different shop so we never got a chance to get some good races in. Finally today we did 1 pull for kicks when we saw each other on the road. 50-110. I honked off and pulled 1 car on him. I know he has Intake/ exhaust / tune. I don't know what else. I thought MS3's were on par with the T/C though.

Unlike the mustang guy we both smiled and gave each other the thumbs up and drove our separate ways.

I thought, I wasn't sure though. I was pretty sure I was going to lose when we ran. I'm glad I pulled him. Good to know for future reference.

My ms3 w/ intake was maybe barely able to beat a ss SC stage 2. They need some work to go real fast, but its possible. Problem is most ms3 owners take the bolt on and canned tune route so they really dont get much out of them.

I had one bite on the hwy and as bad as I could pull on him, it was a good time

The ms3 has a single scroll and some torq so it deff feels faster off the bat. My tcss stock felt dog ass slow. I would think a ms3 could almost match a stock tcss....but I haven't "lined" up with one.
