This isn't my worked up voice, I'll let you know when you're there. if you don't consider the tire change to be so important then why bother changing them at all? Street tires are street tires right? Nope, every tire is different, and I'm pretty sure you didn't chose the BFG g-Force because it was of equal or lesser quality than the stockers. Not a stock car anymore.
I agree, this gives me something to do, and lauph about while the SRT-4 in the next lane roars his mighty mill and blips his BOV while I'm taking my wife grocery shopping, then come track day stares at my tail lights for the duration of the 1/4.

Never changed them. Thats what the car came with was the g-sports. Remember i bought it used. IMO they would be "lesser" quality then the stockers, look at the ratings. If you think srt-4s are lame then why are you on a cobalt website?

and I never left the forum. At what point in time did you own a Cobalt? Furthermore what does the lameness of the SRT-4 have to do with the Cobalt forum? Why are you here?

You're right, I forgot you bought it used. My bad. I don't even know what the SRT-4 comes with stock, so I'll have to look into that. Why am I here, well I used to have one of these:

I like that color on the cobalt.
I am here to help with info and such. Specialy the turbo cobalt guys. I am in the tech sections pretty oftend but they tend to get boring so i come here.
EDIT: hahaha wow Excuse my spelling! Typing fast between customers owns me!

I just read the last few posts and laughed my ass off, EVO's and STi's have top end and make a come back above 90mph thats a good one.
I am sorry folks but why try to use there trap speed in there defense? That just shows how damn quick they are in the 1/8 and how slow they are in the 1/4.
I remember way back when everyone on here knew a SS/SC Stage2 would pull on either from a roll.

well then enlighten us to what YOU think a real car is, everyones opinion differs personally i'd take an sti over a 6.0 gto. but thats just MY opinion. all this bickering about what car is better is stupid, there is no fight! not one car is perfect for everyone, its what suits your needs that matters.

wait wait guys, just take it with a grain of salt, this is the same guy that was unimpressed that the new gt-r ran an 11.7 and beats a z06 around the nurburgring... its all because of awd dude! a 4 seater with a nice interior running 11's and kicking ass around the ring at just over 80k is UNIMPRESSIVE!

And it definitely sucks to be able to make those turns every 50 feet without body rolling off the road.

OP- Good job on taking down an EVO, sounds like you simply outdrove the driver.
I work with those tires, and the KDW NT is great for turns due to its responsiveness and happens to perform almost better in the rain. But it seems to not perform quite as well as the G-Force Sport in the straits. You have to remember, the G-Force Sport is made out of the same compound as the BFG KD, the tire that set the best street legal, non slick, lateral G record. The KDW is made out of a slightly longer lasting compound, longer lasting=harder. The G-Force Sport also has a much better contact patch than the KDW.
The G-Force Sport is simply a better engineered tire.
Not to take sides or anything.
But I like to have the information presented to be correct.
To throw my opinion out there, I would take a 366ci
M6 GTO over an EVO or STI, or Cobalt SS/SC or SS/TC for that matter. But I would want to buy the car new because they tend to be the kind of car that people will beat on. And since there are no more new GTO's, I will have to wait until 2010 or 2011 for the newer GTO or Trans AM, but I am biased towards GTO's, so my vote doesn't really count. I have a 1969 GTO too.
And until 2011, a SS/TC will tide me over. I will have about a 26K spending limit including my trade in come next April (I just have to get rid of this slow ass 2.2L!!!!).

So your GTO, stock for stock, is gonna beat an Evo/STi at what?? 40MPH roll races don't count as races. Handling, braking, 1/4 mile, etc I bet a stock Evo will take a bone stock 6.0 GTO. There are bone stock Evo 9's in the 12's you know. All that with 110+ hp less.
And it definitely sucks to be able to make those turns every 50 feet without body rolling off the road.

This bears repeating, and since Cody luuuuuuvvvvvvsss to magazine race I figure this appropriate.

Can you guys read?
I would be saying the same stuff if I still had my SS/SC hell look at my posts a few years ago I did say the same stuff! Sorry but STi's suck and so do EVO's if they didn't have AWD they would be almost worthless altogether.
And I still love how some of you douches claim I magazine race, nope sorry I have been to the track and raced more people on the street than any of you whiners.
Just deal with the fact that you worship/drive a rice mobile and that only fanboys care. Most of you on here who own a STi or EVO have no idea how to drive and rely soley on AWD to make up for it.
It makes me laugh when you all get worked up and do bring up GTO vs STi or EVO because I have had better races with SS/SC's.
Just deal with the fact that they look like **** from any angle other than from the front, have no top end and get whooped on by 90's technology V8's all the time.
I don't care if your winged egg crate can carve corners better or stop 10 feet before me. Thats what I expect from a car that belongs on dirt even though a well driven RWD will hand it to you.
Cry some more you sedan driving bitches...........
