So.....this guy i just met the other day asked the question of how fast i have gotten my cobalt to. i said right around 150 mph, and he comes back with "that sucks, ive gotten my tib to 183."" wtf? am i missing something here?? so of course i call him out on it, and he says next time he is up from georgia (im in SC), he will put $1000 on the line that his tib beats my SS/TC stock for stock.....is this guy for real??

Force

180km/h maybe...

i know of a few Tibs that are running high hp and very fast top end speeds and nice quarter mile times

Mr McCabe

I played with one on the highway a few months ago... they are really slow for a nice looking v6, 6 speed car. He couldn't even get away from me trying to do a ricer flyby!

i beat tibs in my ram all the time.

Uhm, No..lol No possable way that car can hit 180. I dont even think the speedometer reads 160..

mrbroccoli08ss

ive personally seen under the hood and that car is as stock as stock can be..but of course i tried to talk his car up a bit to make him more confident about his ride..that is until he started saying how he "waxes" slobalts on an everyday basis!!! he said the "s" word...

Sounds like a perfect match for the 2.4 SS

**** a light modded 2.2 would hang with it

LS2guy

I love it when people throw top speeds out like that.

Nine times out of ten even if the car could do it the driver lacks the ***** to make it so anyway.

mrbroccoli08ss

lol thats embarrassing

aint that the truth...ive done almost all of the 160 mph that the SS/TCs are supposed to do...ill never do it again.........probably

evolve

ive gone 174 in mine. Its like going warp speed in your car, **** flies by faaaaaast!

Acceleration 0-60 mph: 7.2 seconds Top speed: 145 mph (233 km/h)

Tibs are slower than pond water.....take the bet and tell him that you will let him get to 4th gear before you take off

mrbroccoli08ss

those are the exact specs i sent to this dude's inbox but he wont believe it..he says "it must be the 4 cylinder tib." haha i mean i know it wont even be a close race, but its just the fact that he wont listen to ANYBODY about the matter...i also believe he knows NOTHING about cobalts...let alone the SS/TC

LOL

suburbanrobot

oh well, what can you do?
anyways, here are the 2.0 specs for comparision

Second generation (GK) (2002-2008)
2.0 L inline 4 cylinder Beta II CVVT (2004+) on the inlet valves (GK, GS)
141 hp (105 kW) @ 6000 rpm and 184 Nˇm (136 ftˇlbf) torque @ 4500 rpm.

2.0 litre:
Acceleration 0-60 mph: 9.2 seconds Top speed: 130 mph (209 km/h)

.3 seconds faster to 60 and +18 mph top end over my 13 year old commuter

I beat one with my lightly modded 2.4L SS. A SS/TC would eat a tibby.

mrbroccoli08ss

haha he called and said he will be here next weekend to visit his gf....with $1000 cash in hand...time for my tune/intake/downpipe!! lol..

LS2guy

The same people don't even understand what It actually takes to go a whole lot faster and the variables that effect true top speed to begin with.

mrbroccoli08ss

i think the word "kid" sums it all up pretty well...too much Need for Speed:Undercover for him..
