I didn't get the impression that he was being cocky or anything from his story unless it has been edited since it was first posted. I saw he raced a Cobalt (at the moment we are not sure if it was a SS or SS/SC it seems) and won. Well, any car with some decent mods can beat another car. So it is extremely likely that he did beat it.
It looks like to me he came on the forums to see if he could find the guy he raced and find out what mods he had so he could judge where he stood with his own car. Hell I do that all the time when I go to the track and race (most of the time win) another car. And we are talking about racing old muscle cars, Skylines, Evos, RX-7s etc.... (the damn RX-7s are frickin killing me out there on the track). Anyway, it looked like he was looking for another friendly race with the other guy. Not doggin on the Cobalt at all until someone had to throw up the B.S. flag and start raggin on him and his RSX-S.
Seriously, maybe I missed something but I didn't get anything you guys got out of that story. As for the SRT-4 guys showing respect to the Cobalt, I do. I think they are pretty fast. Again any car with some good mods can be. I know two guys over here in the UK that have them and they are pretty cool (the car and the guys). They hold their own at the track.
Blacknite, sorry you have had a crappy time on the forums with this post. If I lived anywhere around you I would run ya. If I win, I win, if I lose, just means I need to spend more money. LOL Good luck.

I too, think it was a kitted LS. That is the only cobalt i have seen with dual exhaust. That's the thing, if a 2.2 sticks a SS/SC wing on their car, and someone kills them, then they assume they beat a SS/SC.
Now, i wouldn't doubt you would beat a SS/SC. You would most likely beat 85% of the people on this site. Now, i don't think you would have beat a SS/SC THAT bad, even if he was stock. You say a blown Type S runs mid 13's? A stock SS/SC runs low 14's with a good driver. Yea, .7 of a sec. is alot, but not enough to "amtrac" a car....

As I said in REPLY #1, since he didn't hear a supercharger besides that of his own, it was likely a 2.2 or 2.4. Did anyone listen? NO.

Slapping a blower on an RSX is a pretty big pretty expensive mod! Sorry I'll stick with the Cobalt SS/SC for under $20k and then put the same money into modding it that he dumped into the RSX. I bet the Cobalt would be just as fast if not faster. Stock for stock his RSX is no compition but sure you dump that kinda cash into any car and it better be quick.

So get a SS/SC car with the stage kits and see what its putting down. I don't doubt he's running 300 hp but to be fair it should own a car with 80 hp less. Lets see how it does against a comparably modded Cobalt.

I think someone already pretty much proved it was a 2.2. I doubt there are many kitted, dual exhaust..yadda yadda running around in the sticks down there. Give it up guys...if this kid feels like his ***** grew 3 inches, let it be, no need to whip out the rulers

as far as his track times ive been to the track with him several times; he consistantly traps between 107(high)-109(low)mph, and that was with a 9lb pulley. Currently he has a 11lb pulley, and I believe the only time he went to the track with the 11lb pulley he mis-shifted on his only run. As far as ETs I do not think he has done no better then low 13s, mainly b/c of his 60'. As far as getting him to post his time slips thats up to him; im sure he just wants to find out how his car stacks up to the s/c cobalts(but with his trap speeds I would not think a stage0-2 would stand a chance, but I dont know what other mods there are for cobalts).

It's legal to beat trolls with a stick no wider than your thumb.
I think a few of us broke the law though.
Either way. It's over I guess........
Till' next troll ladies and gentlemen.
The whole point is don't come here trolling. That's great your car is fast. We care.....we really do.

As I'm making my way pass him, I see him weave through traffic a bit to get beside me. It takes a little while, but he finally decides he wants to see what this RSX has under the hood. I hear him down shift and I wait for that supercharger whine to let me know he is getting on it...
Funny, because although I know he was flooring it; he sure didn't have the getup and go that I was expecting with that blower. So needless to say, I follow suit and downshift into 3rd (we were going around 75mph). What happens next is what I can best describe as a AMTRAK train pulling past a stationary object. I think a better description is the length of space between my car and his after finishing off my 3rd gear is that there was enough space for an AMTRAK train to fit.
After I let off, he clearly does not want to line up with me again. In fact, he speeds through traffic to make sure I don't get beside him again... So I couldn't give him a thumbs up for effort or even
If you see this thread, let me know if you're down for another run if maybe you were in the wrong gear... I sure hope so.

I never said it wasn't. Basicly he beat the pants off what may have been a 2.2 and came here and went na na na na I beata Cobalt! Thats why he got hate NOT cause he owns a Honda but for the way he came off.

I don't see anything in his post that is saying anything of the sort. He thought it was an SS/SC, thought it would be a good race. The Cobalt started everything by weaving in and out of traffic to line up and then floored it first. it lost. Then instead of being cool about it and giving a thumbs up it ran off with his tail between his legs.
Then the RSX guy comes on here and states what happens and is looking to find the guy to find out what the cobalt was running under the hood since the guy didn't stick around to tell him. How is that being a dick. Until people started basically calling his car a POS he was cool about everything. This is the typical BS that you see on the other forums that you guys b*tch about and then you do it right back to a guy just coming on your forum.
I just don't understand your guys reactions to this. It makes no sense at all.
