My friend is getting a VW golf stock and says hes gunna tear me apart in a drag race with my driving my Cobalt SS/SC. Should i be worried?

blkcobalt

Heck NO! Should be an easy Kill for the Cobalt!

venum_us_2002

hah thats what i thought.
What about from a 25mph roll, and just a regular stopped start?

BLKSS

You would be way ahead of a golf. If he buys a GTI he might be able to follow. If he buys a R32 umm wel yeeaaah.

blkcobalt

From what I know (and read) about starting from a stop in a SS, you might be better off starting from a roll. I personally have never raced anyone driving a SS, so I am no expert. I have raced my 2.2L and I can launch it fairly well. I just takes practice.

An r32 golf 0-60 is the same as the cobalt even with the all wheel drive. since the cobalt has more power to the wheels (stock 184) to the r32 (180 hp) to the wheel and the cobalt's lighter weight the cobalt would clean house.

distillion

most cobalts have much more power to the wheels than 184

lol, I dynoed at 220whp stock. thats waaaay over 184 man, I guess your looking at the205 gm gives us.
And for the racing buddy. go from 40-120 youll put no less than 3 to 4 cars on him, its gona be an isntant pull.

it would be very difficult to lose that race

You have him, but just to clear things up... it would be an extremely close race between any vr6 or 1.8t GTI (2001 - 2005) and a cobalt ss s/c.

BLKSS

R32 THAT slow? Crazy.. I must research now.

mtwal16

no, ppl dont know what their taking about. an .:R32 has 240 hp AWD and does 0-60 in 5.9 seconds and the 1/4 mile in 14.2 seconds. it would rape an SS, but i highly doubt your friend in buying an 'R'. If he buys a GTi, just hope he doesnt chip it.

J_Rod

He wont be able to hang either way!! Easy Kill

BLKSS

I thought so.. Double the price too.

plyboy-illest

should be a wlak in the park fot the ss\sc

c7015

haha .2 to .1 seconds is not even close to raping and those time were acheived with a serrious clutch dump ... the trap speed stock for stock is typically lower than ours around 95-97 mph so anything other than a 1/4 mile race and its still the CSS

c7015

0-100 times are 15.2 for the R32 where the cobalt is good for a 14.4 sec so who is really raping who ?

distillion

dont have R32s around here but i have fed it to 3 GTI's no problems

BLKSS

Modded GTI would be a nice race. I would give the golf a head start. Give it a couple car lenghts or something.

i like how everyone is humble... we're not saying our cars will kill everything on the street, but even when someone inquires as to if an outmatched car will cream us, we're still humble....

distillion

there is a guy with a regular golf, i think its a 1.8, he put a supercharger on it and hes got a few other mods, i saw him gun it while i was parked having a coffee, it sounded really nice, id like to see the outcome of that race....oneday i know it will happen and ill let u guys know

venum_us_2002

Thank you all for your opinions and i hope i smoke him

VaMP

Take video!

There's no hoping dude, you are going to embarrass him. It's going to be that bad. I've raced modded 1.8t's and they didn't stand a chance either. A VR6 stands no better chance then either of those cars does as well. Even the famed R32 is still a good match for the SS/SC in the 1/4 mile and will get walked on in a roll race.

b-spot

No, you guys aren't humble, you are retards.

I've raced an '06 GTI about 5 times. Lost every time, stayed even once. This GTI is bone stock. I start pulling back on him later in third, but this won't be an "easy win" for you.
