Si2SS im not bashing you, i didnt read much of the thread, its mostly useless, but i am curious as to what your car ran in that video?
Me and another guy will be racing our 2.4's at the track this friday, be nice to have a time to compare to, then we can put this thread to rest.

he may not cooperative with the people hes arguing with, i would just like to know his time. I have been lookin on honda forums and the average is is a low 15, about 15.3, few exceptions of a high 14, just like the 2.4 cobalt.
So i was curious to what he ran

12 pages in one day!? Was anything resolved? Probably not, but I'm not going to bother finding out. I have better things to waste my time on.
Back on topic, the question was would a 2.4 SS beat a new Si? Considering the mods in teh SS, I would give it a respectable chance. I have both a 2006 SS/SC and a 2007 SS/NA. When I go to the track my wife races the SS/NA. Hers is an auto though. Obviously, by the mods listed in the OP you would recognize the most important thing on the SS. The shift+. That means the damn thing is an auto. I have yet to ever see a auto Si. That shift+ actually does some good. There is another member on this forum (Fire Starter) that I race with. He has a 2.4 auto coupe with a shift plus. One day, in a time trial, I forgot to turn off my A/C on my SS/SC. His shift plus, along with his GMPP header kept him real close. He was only 2/10's off my time. Again, I still had the A/C on. He will confirm this. Also, his car is about 1/2 a second faster than my SS/NA. My SS/NA is a manual trans and a sedan. Therefore, I think the SS with the shift+ could edge out the Si.
I hope this info helps.
BTW, I also used to work for a Honda dealership before getting my CDL. I am familiar with the new Si's in both sedan and coupe.

i read a cobalt ss/sc owner call our cars dogs... i found that quite amusing seeing as these cars are only about a second slower in the 1/4 mile without forced induction, no offense but dont bash the 2.4's, they are great cars and you only make an extra 30hp then mine with a supercharger on yours soo...
Dont get me wrong i love the SS/SC's, wish i coulda had one but i love my 2.4 and see no reason for other cobalt owners to put down these cars...

Here is a video for your amusement. Now even with this video I dont cliam that I can beat every IRL or SS/SC out there. But vidoes of races not mean anything when the other driver can not drive. And I only ran a 15.3 @ 92mph that run lol
Also Im the one on the far side, the inside lane was a stock IRL
Also this thread gave me about 30 mins of pure laughter

Ah cut him some slack, it was his first time ever being at a track much less running. He was staging at like 4k sumped the clutch and had nothing but wheel hop and spin and then basicly cam to a stop and started over again from a slow first gear roll. After we left the track that night we raced on the street from a 15mph roll to about 105 and I was dead even with him till I topped out my third gear at 97 and his went to 102ish.
