in a way I feel you, but we need to remind ourselves that it doesnt really matter how many cars we can beat with our balt, just enjoy your car, there's always going to be someone faster. IMO the cobalt is a sweet ride, its not the best, but I think it comes close enough. but yes, it happens to me all the time

MY problem tends to be that whenever I'm in the balt, I always run up on 2006 mustang GTs, 350Zs, WRX's, Supras, 300 Series, Corvettes, and GTO's.

As soon as I'm in my work vehicle, all the honda's and Hyundai's with teenage boys driving come out.

Nah i have a diff problem. when im in the balt I usually get cars I cant beat, or very close races like F-body's, 350z's, srt-4's. But when im in my vette I get nothing. One night I went out in the vette and tryed to roll a nissan skyline but he declined and said he knew he would lose. Then I tried to roll a cobra but he backed off as well. Finally I ended up next to a ferrari f430, I punched it a couple of times but he wouldn't bite either. very frustrating although my answer is a cobalt addiction stage 5.

I totally agree... just wrong section to post in!

I was in a friends car the other day... and we were driving behind a Stage 1 SRT that I've been trying to race for 6 months... everytime his Exhaust Crackled & Gargled it made me sick and angry. I think I ended up puking.

too intimidating for a skyline or a cobra? With very little mods (if the cobra is an 03-04, and the skyline is an rb26dett model) those cars can whoop up on 99.9% of the cars on the road. a properly modded terminator with just a few grand shouldnt be intimidated by much, and same goes for the skyline if its got an rb.

I know I was shocked he didn't want to run. Pully, tune and exhuast and those things can see 450rwhp easy. Maybe he was stock?

I see the awsome/amazing cars go by the other way on the road, but I usually get some decent runs in every once in a blue moon....Get this, a black GTO SAP with black wheels (ls2) didn't want to go.....WTF...no traffic, night time. I was so mad, he was a young kid too so I expected him to go but no go...maybe he figured my car wasn't fast enough for a good race....but I would've put him in shock (if he was stock that is, which it looked like it was)
