War Stories Post your racing wins. CobaltSS.net does not support or encourage street racing. Be smart and take it to the track.

Why do GTO's not want to race me?? (or not want to race you?)

my car only trapped 85 in the 1/8th that was quite a few mods ago the red gto i raced was when i had those mods i have more now and i raced the silver one and pulled him pretty good and let off around 70ish. true the poster is slower than me but not slower than most gto's as far as a roll race goes

haha, + rep!

come on man, by this guys logic NEITHER car is faster... if a car A beats car B in the 1/4 mile, it's faster. but, if car B beats car A from a roll race, it's faster.

the moral of the story is, nothing is faster than a cobalt. it will destry evo's and sti's because it traps higher.

no the were slower and they no it i just can't believe you are so dumb to think track times are everything, everyone else seems to get it when you atain a certain mph you could run such and such a time with proper traction like myself i am good for 12's but i need slicks and are friend syp is good for low 13's on slicks its all about traction

ok, what you CAN run and what you DO run are totally different... when you DO run those times, then you can use that argument...

your car is quicker in a 1/4 mile race because it can go the distance quicker not faster as in mph. what is so confusing i swear i have found the only ppl in the world that think trap sped is useless. i don't give a **** about my car being faster than the next perons it is fast enough for me. i did not build my car up to say i am faster than this car that is just dumb

you are the one sitting here talking about traps.. then you say that track times dont matter..

so i forgot.. the national standard for measuring how fast a car is, is a 50-100mph roll... how stupid could i be

but again, what does it matter how fast it goes if it doesn't get there first? i don't care if you trap 200mph, if the other person gets there first you lose.


that would be a damn respectable trap speed, but the car still lost.

i am saying for syp that he said he will be racing from rolls most often that is why i am using the roll ex. in my opinion it is better to go from a roll so you don't attract attention from squealing tires and other ****

just like saying "if i had slicks, axles, etc. i can run 12's".

you don't have them. when you do, it's a different story. who cares about what a car COULD run.

ok example i raced a tbss it had cai heatsoak reduction kit for the tranny tune and a few other mods it ran 13.4's and i beat him by 2 cars from 35 to 70 on a burnt clutch. but wait i only run 15's so it could not of happen.

They are if the only place you race is the track. Which would only make sense as it is a "Race" track after all. Street racers are chumps.

I see, they kidnapped your parents and held them hostage until you raced them. So you were forced to street race them Jack Baur style......it all makes sense now.

I used to have a SS/SC. I really liked the car, but it was slow.
