youre wrong.
a stage 2 ss/sc will beat a stock nsrt-4
bolt the gm stage 2 ss/sc and it will pull the ss/tc, and will give the nsrt-4 stage 2 a good run as well.
bolt the nsrt-4 stage 2, and it will beat both the stage 2 ss/sc and stock ss/tc.
bolt and tune a ss/tc .... nsrt-4 stage 2 will loose.
i agree with you.

.. If someone put all that time and energy into their SC and it wasn't pulling me I'd be questioning their sanity and ability to drive the vehicle

"Lots of misinformation"? I said it's not the norm, the 1/4 mile thread is a handful of examples of people who have bothered to post their times (some of them only their best) and are on the forums. Some people are obviously better drivers than others, some tracks are prepped better than others, etc. My post is based on my observations at the tracks around here this summer from numerous TCs; every single one on average has run within the range I provided with the exception of some exceptional runs that put them around 13.8/13.9 . I'm not saying it's impossible but I'm not going to make a prediction based on the best numbers I've seen, I'll go with the average .
The OPs post said only stage 2 so I went on that assumption. I agree with a bolted stage 2 SS/SC I stand little chance yet for being stock I have no issues with that. If someone put all that time and energy into their SC and it wasn't pulling me I'd be questioning their sanity and ability to drive the vehicle .

. If I sounded like I was slamming the TC (or perhaps sounded ignorant) it was not intended to sound that way; what kinda TC owner would I be if did so intentionaly .

the ss/sc stock is capable of running 13.9's for sure. things that limit the cars potential would be the shitty pirelli tires that came on it, and the terrible wheel hop that kills 60ft times.
hell a stock ss/tc can run 13.5's stock.

Dude I just ran a Bolt on as in Header mid pipe catback intake Kpro RSX type S in my STOCK turbo Cobalt and got him by a car both runs.
A stock 08 SS Cobalt is a drivers race vs a 3.0 pulley intake header downpipe catback custom tuned Cobalt SS/SC.
A stage 2 cobalt makes like 230 WHP and 220WHQ a stock Turbo cobalt makes better power then that.
Plus my cobalt has no sunroof and I took out the spare/jack.
A Civic SI isn't touching a full bolt on tuned RSX Type S which weighs like 2850. Which lost to me by a car two times.
I also think its funny how all you guys are talking about et's yet you run from rolls. All that matters in the trap speed. The cobalt TC has trapped 104 STOCK. Guess what most Mustang Mach 1's trap stock ???? 104-105. Guess what most Ls1 GTO's trap stock 104-105.
Funny isn't it.

you **** up even the slightest in your almighty stock ss/tc, and the stage 2 ss/sc (no bolt ons) will take you. that my friend = drivers race. i have seen it before, and wish my car was still stage 2 to prove it.
