cobalt 2.2 VS mustang 5.0
#51
I've raced two 5.0s and raped both of them, granted they were both beat. I've raced a v6 like 98 mustang, after he reved his engine at me. i ripped him off the line and he backed off. I've also raced a 03 gt...my brothers, sure he was behind me at a light but when i droppped the hammer he did as well...and when i hit a buck 25 and he was 2-3 car leanghs behind me, I consider that a win. believe me if he could have passed me let alone get beside me he would've.

he is simply saying that the 5.0's are much faster vehicles and i really don't mean to be an ass, but come on guys dont kid yourselves. he may have beaten a 5.0 driver and good kill if he did, but if the guy could drive/ his car run right he would have owned the 2.2. we are talking a high 14 second car vs a high 15 second/ low 16 second car...it is just not realistic to compare them.

i raced a old mustang probably bout the same year. had 2 cars on him. yeah u can get a old ass engine wit so many miles on it and so many results can happen. i was very surprised. the 2.2 is pretty fast. u can ask any of my buddies..that car also rapes new c6 vettes off the line. i raced one and he beat me be like 2-3 cars. dont doubt any of those cars...there are many cars that those cars and kill and lose to. and there are many cars a 2.4 or 2.0 can win to or lose too. so dont just be saying that ****. but i do beilive that ****...lol

wait did you just claim that your car only lost by 3 cars to a c6???? that is the biggest bs i ever heard, he could do that in reverse. or maybe you are talking about the 5.0. that is still bs because if you beat him he should lose HORRIBLY to a c6.

I dont know enough about a 150HP Cobalt 2.2 but if it is underated in its power delivery than it may be able to do 90Plus in a 1/4!? so who knows what really happened. He says he was ahead. no clock or times are possible to share so what ever. I dont think he is lying. so lets not call bs on him.

What kinda jeep cuz ive burned 3 liberty's w/ the 3.7 but those arent meant to be fast anyway. Grand cherokee is too heavy to beat even a 2.2. either way the 2.2 is quick by my standards and w/ spray putting down 215-220 at the wheels makes that little thing boogie man. it is a whole nother beast on spray, but so is everything else lol

degrate your car? dude...i will not say this didn't happen, but i will say it is rediculously unlikely and you have to understand why people don't beleive it. you are talking about a 400hp sports car vs a 150hp economy car. this is like putting a stage 2 ss/sc against a z06 or a ford gt.
