is this true or are some people full of **** and say they have beat a mustang 01-04 with there stock cobalt ls ive seen the video on streetfire but is this really possible

alleycat58

V6 is a driver's race, anything else HELL NO.

jercho73

A manual Cobalt LS would prolly be a decent race with an auto new edge Mustang v6, the 5-sp ones get about mid 15's stock though. The 05+ no chance, auto or 5sp.

Hey Slick, Hate to be a threadbomb, But please! Use some punctuation!

I know stock for stock a ss/sc could beat a 01-04 stang Gt. the cobra in those years hell no, same with the new ones they just have to much power.

Blainestang

Driver's race, with the advantage to the GT in the 1/4

06GrimmSS/SC

So from a roll (please no arguing about roll-racing) how should an SS/SC do against a base '06 Mustang or an '06 Mustang GT?

I ask because co-workers have them and want to run them against me in my stock '06 SS/SC.

SRT-S2K

I agree its a drivers race but from a stop the mustang will launch. I race mustangs all the time in my 02 S2K, I beat GTs but cobras pull not even a length on me. Any mustang before 99 I pretty much beat, and my car is stock. I always pull hard off the line.

RYCobaltSS

haha...o6 grimm just thought id point this out to you, well i found it rather funny and think you should just leave it that way for ***** n giggles, but in your sig it says under your kills...."wv jetta".....LMAO....is that a new bread wagonvolks....lol...i coulda sworn they were volkswagons....might wanna fix that.

D4u2s0t

the V6's could be beaten... if you're stock, that's about it though

06GrimmSS/SC

Much obliged! I'll be expecting my "Asshat Award" in the mail.

So, any idea on the question I posted? Just like to have some idea what to expect going into it.

RYCobaltSS

welp...01-04 no prob except cobras ....any v6 is a close race to a kill....06 stang...kill ....06 gt really close...(drivers race)

blkcobalt

I raced a 04 (V6) Mustang convt. with my 05' LS Sedan. I beat by at least 2 to 3 car lengths. The Mustang belongs to a friend, he was surprised I beat him. LOL

I ate a Bullit alive, and raped a stock 03'ish GT. Brand new GT with flames took off at a light before me and I easily caught up to him.

My best friend is about to get a new car and he's leaning towards a 99 mustang gt. I was checking out the specs on the net and people have them rated at like 0-60 in 5.5 and low 14's for 1/4 mile. I think those #'s are a bit generous for a stock gt. I'd easily take him right? Well he can't drive stick worth a **** so assuming he was a good driver, I could easily take him hopefully. Anyways..

As for the v6 stang. I have one and I used to think it was decently quick but after getting this car and not driving my other one for a few months, I've notice how damn slow that thing really is. No ***** whatsoever.

Xenozx

A good driver in the GT would probably outlaunch you. Power wise they are pretty close. From a roll you would probably win, from a dig it would be a drivers race.

mike_06_SS

well i don't wanna start a whole new thread so sorry for gettins off topic! will my stock ss/sc beat a 98 auto z28????? my cuz has one and he wants to race but i don't want to because if i loose he'll make fun of me b/c he only paid 8 grand for his. anyone???

Xenozx

from a roll maybe or maybe not. Its gonna be close. Go buy stage 2 and you will put up a win.

rollingboostedss

Well I may be racing an 05 here soon. Im sure hes not stock like I am so I going to ask that he sets me out maybe 4 or 5. I'll let you all know what happens.

Blainestang

It's not that generous. My friend and I both did it in our '01 GT's in 80-90 degree heat and FL humidity.

Well, compared to an SS/SC, you're right... a V6 Mustang wouldn't be that fast. However, my '00 5-speed went 15.5 stock with a crappy 2.331 60', so it'd be a good race with a 2.4 SS... and the '05-06's with manuals are capable of high 14's, stock. So, no, they're not as fast as an SS/SC, but they're not insanely slow.



If you're stock, and his car isn't ragged out... he should easily beat you. That car should trap at least 5mph faster in the 1/4 AND outlaunch you. Given equal driving, the Z28 is probably ~1 second faster in the 1/4.



Well, you have mods... that's a different story. My Bullitt would lay waste to almost every Cobalt on this board, but that doesn't really tell him much.



Nice kill. Work your way up to a 5-speed coupe. It should be a lot more interesting. For example. Last time I saw a 99-04 V6 Mustang Auto Convertible at the track, I was running mid-15's in my virtually stock 5-speed coupe... and he was running 17's in his car, and it had quite a few bolt-ons. They shouldn't be THAT slow, but you get the point.

Acidangel_5.0

some of you people need to get off the crack pipe,
SN 95 Gen II (v8) .. sorry.. an LS will not even touch it.. the ss/sc will loose also if stock from a dig without mods, with the only exception from perhaps a roll start they can take it (with mods im talking Stage mods, not cai/exhaust bs.. should be able to take the Gen II..)


question about racing the z28 auto..

Stock you will not beat it from a Dig.. you will loose by about 4 lengths up to 110.
from a roll.. its a toss up with your having a smaller chance of winning (1/2 length to the z28).. my buddy has a 97z28 aut with SLP intake and we have raced a few times (he also has fucked up tranny)

Mine was also a 2000 5 speed. I consider myself a good driver but I don't think I'd break 15's w/ that. Unless there is really that huge of a difference between a second in the 1/4 mile. The clutch is also about blown on it but I don't think it would affect the speed as I'm already moving.

Blainestang

Who knows? Maybe yours is running poorly, or the clutch is making a bigger difference than you think? Or neither and the gap between the 2 cars feels bigger than it really is... who knows?

halfj99

the v6 stangs are so damn slow, i raced an auto coupe with my old 2.2Lohv 5 speed cavi and kept toe to toe with it...at higher speeds im sure it woulda pulled away from me but a 0-60 we were even pretty much

JMHZ2401

Truly this sounds like mainly street races and anything can happen. My 97 z24 I beat a Forumla V8. Should I have? I do not think so, but the car was ragged out badly, with ticking valves. Anything can happen on the street. Same for the track too many other factors. I have beat cars I would never expect to beat on the street, and been beat by a few I would not expect to even run with me. Things happen.
