yea that is basically what sorta happened in 2000 and they have been working with it since

I can say they are decent cars, my bro has a 4G GS, it is by no means a cornering car or road course kinda car though, the car feels too heavy and has tons of body roll

I have raced a ton of the GTs and I have only lost to 1, all of the other times I walked on them, it wasnt a slaughter or anything of the nature, just a fender to a half car kinda victory

and what SS/SC is trapping slower then the GTs from the above list... yet these same Modded GT's are walking stage II's on the road...

lol.. hows that when the ss/sc traps higher in the quarter?

these guys just dont know what SS version they are racing.. they are confusing the 2.4 for the ss/sc

i trap 103-105 with stage II only... there is only 1 GT in that list that traps higher.. *boggle*

Sometimes I have a hard time remebering that stage 2 is not stock..I got mine from the dealer ship with CAI, STG 2, and Corsa Sport.

That being said I pulled away from a HARD from a 4th Gen GT with at least an exhaust. Stock vs Stock the 4th Gen is faster...but not by much.

The same is said internet-wide about the Cobalt. I love how we've sunk to their level.
