For what it counts we hit a curve at about 100mph so he may have let off some as to not lose his ass in the turn?
As for my tune, the only reason I say it's mild is because I'm not pushing 22psi. Torque management, spark advance, and cam angles were adjusted as well as bumping my redline and governor.
Edit: It wasn't a bad turn but we were in southern Tennessee in the mountains so it was a little hilly as well, this wasn't a flat land race.

Another completely idiotic TC owner kill post. You gave the jump to a 113-114 trapping car on the highway (where they shine more then lower speeds) and pulled it with a tune and drop in, ok dude. Keep living those fantasies and listening to everyone that says a stock TC can take a LS1 from a roll, or a catback only TC with a tune can walk a pullied Cobra. Get real....

a stock TC with intake, downpipe, and trifecta tune ran 12.7 so it is possible. I dont own an ss/tc so i have no bias, but i bet the op's car is a high 12 second car with hatricksu driving it, i actually see this as a possibility.

Just because ONE car did that does not mean they ALL will be able to. Too many variables to just throw out a blanket statement like this. Track temp, air temp, humidity, wind, time of day, tries, tire presure, condition of the car, drivers skill level. etc etc.
Example my buddies SS/SC is a TURD with him driving it. I drive it and its a totaly different car.

Way to be a tool. Anything can happen on the street and I'm a firm believer to that, whether the other driver fucked up or not I won, period. By the way, check out my other thread, I lost to a Cobra.
I sure hope you lost to a cobra, but that is a different race.
Thanks for calling me a tool just because you get called out on your BS kill. Wanna know why it is BS? Look below at the highlighted...
Bumped redline to 7k but I shift as close to 6500 as I can (I'm still not a great driver but I'm 10 times better then a week ago when I lost to a G6 GXP stock for stock.)
Thank you, I can't tell you guys whether or not he let off in the curve and I don't remember if we started off going up hill or down hill but we ended going downhill into a curve, no way I was taking a curve at 140. I suppose if we started uphill that would have hindered him more then me due to weight?

Not possible, he pulled a car that is kind of slow down low and a beast up top to 140 with a car that is way slower stock and he has one thing done; figure that one out.

Exactly, that car shown has supporting bolt ons to help the air go in and out which makes a big difference as opposed to the OP's car who is stock with a tune and rookie driver mod...
Not when the two don't have similar mods, the only similar mod is a tune, and the OP said a mild tune at that...

Once again, remember that this was on the street and there are SO many variables as to why I pulled on him. He could have hit the rev limiter, he may not have downshifted as far as he should have. I'm not doubting you that I should have been pulled on, I agree that with equal drivers that car would pull me like none other in the top end. Fact is though, I beat this driver plain and simple.

You go ahead and call bs all day, I know what happened and that's what counts. You talk like the other driver HAD to have been a good driver. If you read my previous posts I stated that the other driver looked younger then me, also when I raced the G6 GXP I hit the rev limiter allowing the G6 to pass me. It's not hard to no lift shift 3rd to 4th which is what I did.

But I do ask you this and I wonder this many of times when a car that isn't that close to another car in terms of performance wins even though they should have lost, why post it? If you know the car should have beat you and some one royally goofed up the performance of the other car letting your inferior car tie or beat the other car, is that something to hold your head on high about? I mean if I beat a new Viper because the guy was on the cell phone eating a burger bouncing off the rev limiter I would probably never even mention it let alone go on a public board and try to sell it as a kill. That is just wrongly educationg that other idiots that now think they too can beat such and such car.
To each his own but I wouldn't be boasting about a kill like that...
Ya'll have a good weekend, I am off to play a part in one of my best friends weddings!

I'll give you most of that, although the car is an auto and not exactly hard to drive fast from a roll to 140.

no comment, you refuse to believe a TC can beat anything.

Well a tune only tc shouldn't beat an F. It doesn't matter if the car is rwd,fwd, awd or purple wheel drive. It traps 10mph faster than a stock tc and has an auto tranny matched up with a DOHC v8 (top end fun). that car should have rocked your world from a roll if it was an ISF. that's why people are skeptical.

I love how so many people assume that if some one's racing against a Cobalt SS then they just HAVE to be a great driver because the Cobalt SS can't beat a car with more hp regardless of the driver. Seriously, if you guys are just gonna come into War Stories and post bs on every ones races then why even come in here? This site gets more and more tools on it every day.

YA MAN! IM A TOOOOOLLLLLLLLL YOOOO!
I beat a FERRARI JUST THE OTHER DAY MAN! IM TOON ONLY YO!
stfu and gtfo. Ur not going to take a car like that. That trap speed says it all. A TC is lucky to trap >110 even with a tune and full bolt ons. That just shows how little power it really has in the top end with its itty bitty paperweight turbo.
Get real, and snap out of it. That was not an IS-F. It was probly an IS, but you in ur ricer excitement thought it was an F, and thought "O COOL MAN! IM GONNA SHOW THIS FASTER CAR WHATS UP YO! I GOT MAD STREET REP NOW!"
