Not impressed. Been there done that, at the very least I hope there was no traffic.

2008 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Coupe Full Test


still not 400... still not going to matter, whether its 300, 400, 500, or seven ******* thousand

has a tune only Cobalt went in the 11s? Low 12s? trapped damn near 120mph?

I know you're a Ford fanboy and in this situation want to put the vette down, but PS, it'll walk the Gt500 as well, WITH its Ls3, not even one of the bad boys


oh and even better news, the 2011 Vette is lighter than the previous years by about 50lbs, left lane news tested one at 3208lbs

a cobalt with bolt-ons and tune can definitely give a stock corvette a run for its money. top end hands down would go to the corvette but i would say 45-120 is pretty fair game. not every corvette owner drives their ls3 at low 12's. on average most are in the 12.5-13.3 range. average bolt-on and tune cobalt driver is in the 13-13.3 range. a friend of mine will be ther first to admit he's not a good driver but he runs 13.2-13.3 all day at the track with 2.3-2.5 60 fts. a low 13 second fwd car can def give a mid 12 second rwd car a run for its money. OP good kill.

i know this doesnt account for all situations buuuuutttt....YouTube - C6 Corvette vs Cobalt SS/TC

Perfect.disguise

FWIW, The Chevy site has the SS/TC listed at 2926lbs.
Where did the tune only come from?

Not saying it hasn't went faster but the fastest LS3 on dragtimes is a 12.1 (not that ET would be the deciding factor in a roll race) Most trapped 116mph, not one faster besides a grand sport that nipped 117..
I guess this Vette was driven to it's 100% potential in the most desirable conditions though during this race.....

this forum needs a "like" button lol. i agree with you 100%

Thanks guys! But ya everyone can say the vette is faster than the Balt in the 1/4 but don't forget this was from a 45 so not a dead stop the guy didn't want to go from a dig. Yes the vette would have a better jump and better top end but holding off a vette by 2 1/2 cars from 45 to about 115-120 ish isn't bad at all for our little 4 bangers

people ran 11s in stock C5 zo6 Corvettes:

2004 Z06 Corvette - Features - GM High-Tech Performance


and food for thought, a guy on Ls1tech beat their record



but if you went on LS1tech or any corvette site and asked which is faster a c5 zo6 or LS3 C6, almost everyone is going to say the LS3... and there you will see not one, or two, but MULTIPLE people have ran in the 11s with them bone stock... and SEVERAL 12.0-12.1 cars...

lightly modded? I personally know a guy who went 11.8s with a K&N drop in ONLY with an automatic, that is no forum talk, i've seen his timeslip, he had some of my other friends go with him(I was working night shift back then)...


here is more food for thought, bolt-on only:

11.30s

Good thing this wan't a drag race, huh? This isn't about a C5Z (Like someone saying they beat a S2 only SC so they could take a stock TC..) or modded Vettes.... Like I said the driver of this Vette must of been driving his car 110% in ideal conditions, because some one hit 11's(even OEM tires,traps?) in the 1/4..

OP you raced a 11 second car, there was no driver error and the weather/DA was perfect.

BTW you said some have hit nearly 120mph completely stock, have a link, I'm curious.

I love people who think 1/4 mile ET's have anything to do with a roll race

Why does everyone analize everything like these events happen on a test track ..... **** happens ..... people don't drive to potiental .....aren't in the right gear ....ect ...ect .

Back when my dad and I tested em out (he was basically stock c6 ls2 6sp ) when he started our 35-40 mph roll's in 2nd gear I was about 2 cars out by the top of 3rd ( superchips and DP at the time ) . If he was in 1st it was a whole different ball game.... fender to fender till 110 and he would start walking .

I'd love to tape it and test it out again with the trifecta tune but he had east coast install a paxton SL1500 on in october ..... the thing is a monster on 8psi .

Shibito

Cut out the plastic in you wheel wells, swap his rear tires with your front tires, and you'll beat him

lol ya but like i had stated above im sure if it was a drag from a dig sure he may have had me but this was from a roll and considering all of 2nd is just a tire spin unless getting it right, thats not bad to have 2 and a half lengths lol Perfect disguise if your asking me about a link on this 120, im not saying 1/4 mile trap speeds just what i hit from the run against the vette. i really wish i had a vid camera for this cause then it would be more believable but next time if something like that happens ill try to be prepared lol.

now that i mention it actually my best friend got a go pro camera for Christmas so maybe i can just borrow that haha

iTrader: (3)

haha yep ....his car is a runflat eater as it is , I can't imagine what it would do to my conti's . If you don't roll into 1st or 2nd easy .... it's a smoke show . When it spins in 3rd it's not as bad .... just leaves light marks in the road.... it's the mph it spins at that scared me hehe.

I have to admit ... his car is the first one I've driven that put me out side my comfort zone with just how hard it pulled .... and had to lift in 4th just cause i felt the car was taking me for a ride at that point .....not the other way around lol .

It made 565 Whp and 540 Wtq on east coast's dynapack . (Before people give me crap ... I know it's isn't the fastest thing in the world ect ect .... It's just the fastest thing i've driven.) I would not have a license very long if I owned it lol.

Perfect.disguise

Nah, I was talking to 08inbama (pretty sure it was) that said they have hit almost 120mph bone stock...maybe they have but all I can find is 116mph...That would be like everybody getting 104 in the SS/TC and some one hitting "nearly" 108mph in a stock TC.

Cobalt_Daddy

lol @ people...

this is entirely possible. who cares what a vette runs in the 1/4... does everyone forget what gear ratios are for? the SS/TC is a quick car from 2-4th because of the way it's geared.

i love how people **** and moan that roll races are gay because there's no driver skill needed... then they whine and say that the only reason you beat a vette was because the driver sucked or he was in the wrong gear....

so the point here is... don't roll race because it has nothing to do with driver skill ... but apparently if you win a roll race against what should be a faster car it's because the other driver sucked/used the wrong gear/wasn't trying and can't drive... lol there goes that argument. talk about arguing a point and then proving yourself wrong people hahaha

wake up .. a win is a win... who cares why it happened!! stop holding on to the "what if's" or "only because's"

08inBama

oh, 116-117mph is about the highest i've seen them trap, that is "about" 120mph... a lot closer than the 112(or less) the Cobalt is probably trapping

ryansalazan

iTrader: (6)

ya thats about the same here^^^

Perfect.disguise

116 is deff the normal. Maybe it's me but 116mph is not "damn near" 120mph. IMO, that would be like 119.X

unijabnx2000

what power level is it taking for a cobalt to get to 120mph trap speed?

Perfect.disguise

MaximX trapped 90mph in the 1/8 and 120mph in the 1/4 and it says "417whp, 363wtq" in the dyno thread. I would say ~390whp could do it.

Yea that's whats why you have those 600 hp supra's only running 11's but from a roll they ride out because they have a shitty power curve.

Cobalt_Daddy

i doubt very much all 600hp supras only run 11's in the 1/4.
anything will have a shitty power curve when the turbo is as big as the motor and laggy as hell... i don't know why people always say supras have shitty power curves...i've seen plenty big power supras fly in the 1/4 mile... not all of them are setup to roll and even the ones that do roll go like snot... and keep up with or beat cars with supposed good power curves. not every supra has a huge laggy turbo so you're stereotyping the car.

hell the stock twin turbo supra with 320hp could hit 0-60 in a little over 4 seconds and nail low 13's at almost 110mph in the 1/4 mile. that's pretty quick in stock form nevermind having anything done to it...
