haha the guy with the vid cracks me up....pull the specs on s ss/sc 2.0...or the 2.4....or whatever car you want....and then pull the specs on the SI....this is what makes car modding fun...any car can be fast...when i say my opinion its based on not your personal ride(which may be 3094830948 hp for all i know) its based on generalized specs that all cars get produced from....i can hunt up and down the internet and find videos of balts beating STI's and some vettes..god knows..just as much as you can find the one of few videos of an SI beating a balt...it proves nothing.....were just giving opinions based on our own experiences with those cars....mods...driver skill...it all depends a race ..but stock for stock with identical drivers...the SS 2.0 (which is the only car i stand by because of experience...) wins everytime.

you have an auto with almost nothing done for performance. you will lose.

if you had a manual trans 2.4 it would be a very good race.

if you feel that way you should leave. don't come onto a Cobalt forum and call us fanbois. NO **** SHERLOCK!

seriously man, there is no need for this.

your SN is Si2SS, that means you went from an Si into an SS, so why are you defending the honda? you chose the balt for a reason.

I have driven a SC and it FELT faster, but it wasnt. Torque will do that. But u obviously know that already with ur extensive knowledge and drive time behind the wheels of such beasts as CR-Vs, beetles, cherokees and aveos.

The point I was proving is that theres no way this kid will beat the Si with his 2.4. Get it kid?

I dont need specs to tell me which cars I'm faster than. Unlike ur bitch ass, I hit the track.

you want my time slips? 14.2 bone stock, and i'm not a fantastic driver by all means. what times do you run, and what mods, i want to see some proof other than a video where the SS/SC has a bad driver, or who knows, maybe that Si had **** done.

i don't think so, i think you guys are fairly close to the SS/SC's.

Im not callin all of u fanbois, but I will call it like I see it.

I chose the TC'd balt cuz I KNOW its faster and Ive been a bowtie guy my whole life. I wasnt defending the Honda, I was showing the other side of the fence, some people are too narrow-minded to accept it. THAT, is fanboism.

first off you ****** idiot i have hit the track and i woulda spanked that performance on your little 4 door piece of ****... ive hit 13.8s in my ss/sc..

My point is you posted a video of an si vs a ss/sc... I never said that you couldnt beat a 2.4 ss idk i just said you cant beat a guy who can drive a ss/sc simple as that...

also dont come on here thinking you know me, callin me kid..And yes i have driven extensive vehicles not the lowest model pieces of **** that you mentioned up top... Now go on with your ****** fan boy self and learn your **** before you come on here and talk **** to me...

also here im gonna go find some videos for you hold on a sec

Sorry to burst your bubble, bro
Burst your bubble... Lol is this a joke? Turn up the volume to hear the whine? How about turn up the video to hear that god aweful driver mod in the balt

1st: *squeeeeelll* vrooooooooooooooooom

.....

.....

....

2nd: va vrooooooooooom

I could ******* shift better with my feet. You're extremely overestimating the power in the SI in 1/4 mile terms. They are high 14 second low 15 cars stock AT BEST, which will definately lose to the SS/SC. There are STOCK 2.4ls on this site running near or right at that in a 5 speed. Factor in the mods and you have yourself a race.

Considering he's an auto... I'll give it to the civic, especially rolling or if he can drive (obviously), but it could still be close. You make it seem like the SI is in it's own league.

And your comment on the 2.4l with I/E and tires beating a stock SC seeming absurb is laughable. It's been proven. Hell even I'VE done it. So is your comparison to us and a scion TC. LOL. WHAT?

I'm fully bolted. Bring me a stock SI from a dig and I will murder it. Won't be the first time.
