If that is who I think it is that car lost to a fairly stock Talon TSI. Also he is on about his 3rd motor and the current one burns oil pretty good.

Very nice. Throw a GT30 in there and have fun.

Oh, you should have all that cryoed while your at it.

As far as the video goes, its cool to see a quick LS, but the SS is still much nicer.


And both are still economy cars.

Don't let this get to your heads. And, try not to start making this a 2.2 vs SS thing.

I've seen many base model cobalts beat SC's, it's nothing new. Turbo's even up the playing field quite nicely.

I would have to see this from a roll to see who is truly faster, theres tons of room for error at the track, could be a case of a experienced driver in the LS Turbo vs a bad driver in the SS/SC. I have seen some Stage 2 balts run 15's and then they switched drivers and hit 13's, so its hard to say from those vids.

So how does random intarwebz video make you any less of a poser by making your car look like something it's not?

Was there literally a bus behind you that was blocking the SS/TC from going around to kick your ass?

Cause that's the only way you're winning by a bus length.

if done intelligently, you'll be fine!

just because that douche nozzle blows **** up, doesn't mean you will.

take your time, spend the money on good parts, and do your own work.

that way you can have confidence in the parts, pieces, and installation.

also, do your own tuning, or work closely with some one who will do it.

none of this caned "e-mail" tune BS, none of the HORRID tune-by-phone ****, ect.

lmao, i agree. or maybe the ss/tc driver was a member on the special bus, that's why he forgot how to shift.

after talking to both of those racers, I believe the black car pretty much caught up near the end, but I can't remember. All I remember was that I didn't want to go back to that track again anytime soon...
