The new ss turbo can be pretty quick. Nice death?
nice death you hung in there pretty good for your mods.

Thanks man I had no idea what the mods were when I raced him. I wanted to
just to see how my car would stack up against his
Not for nothing, but it was about to get real ugly for you.. I bet if you guys raced for a longer pull the results would have been much more unfortunate.
Those Cobalts are no joke.
Those Cobalts are no joke.
Actually man we raced 4 times this is the only run we got on video and all 4 times he would only pull me by 1-2 cars
You misunderstood.
Had you gone further than 110, his lead would have increased.
Don't know why he had to point out this bench racing fact, but he did.
^My car is FAR from fast, but for some reason this made me LOL.
Why would you want to go past 110mph when the car finishes the 1/4 mile at 110mph? I think going much past what your car does in the 1/4 mile is a waste plus it gets far more dangerous than it already is!
Would you happen to know if your friend is still running the stock Continental Tires, or another brand?
I only have a Tune on my '09 SS/TC and have serious traction issues in 1st (and sometimes 2nd) w/ my Stock Conti's.
Not that I plan on ever racing it - I don't. It would just be nice to hook up a little better on the street.
interesting results, but not surprising.... about a year ago, before the trifecta tune came out all they had was the hahn tune. (my friend has an 08 ss/tc, he should of waited for the trifecta tune haha) My full bolt on bullitt with tubular k pulls my friends hahn tuned ss/tc by about a car from a 60-115ish pull

That's a poorly tuned (Read: Trifecta tunes are junk compared to custom HPT tunes) SS/TC to only pull you by 1-2 cars considering with those mods and even with that tune, he should be pushing 290-300whp. 290ish whp in a sub-3k pound car is going to put a hurting on a 230ish whp 3300lb GT.
Has much as everyone hates on them for being...
a) a GM Product
b) Cheap
c) 4cyl
They can be made to be pretty mean without a lot of work.. Very similar to the EVO's, where big power for the engine size can be made with the stock turbo...
They are light, make pretty nice power, and actually handle extremely well..
In my terminator, I gave a Cobalt SS/TC the hit and ~5 lengths from a ~10 mph roll and it took me to a little into forth to catch up... This is on a ported eaton, with a 2.80 upper at the time.. So FWIW they are no joke.
needs more valves.
^ reply: x2 ^
^This is true they can be made fast, the new turbo cobalts are alot faster then the older s/c models.
..But I still dont see any over 270-300whp,fast as I have seen in person is 12 or 13 sec 1's, I mean new cars run that stock, and those are full bolt on boosted 1's with a turbo stock, and I agree with poster above my car is far from fast and im still n/a and they are a walk in the park for me. and stock what are they 200-240fwhp max? and thats a turbo cobalt the s/c are much slower, I would still rather have a s/c cobalt I love the sound of the baby eaton lol but I agree it is a gm I think its ugly and not a fan of 4 cylinders and it does make good power for a small engine but the turbo helps that out but compared to evo's and sti's those are alot faster cars, I wouldnt compare the 2, a stock s/c cobalt is 200hp and runs 14's 15's, a stock turbo cobalt is 260hp and thats crank hp, and those run 13's stock, quick but not fast as people make them seem, an evo and sti is much faster car esp when the mods begin bolt on or boosted more, that being said I would much rather own a wrx or sti over 1 of them.
