95% of people on this and every other board have done it... even if it isnt a very smart thing to do, that looked like an ok place... no traffic where they could hurt someone else .

True...
Some would argue that it's easier to see other cars at night than during the day too...which suggests that at night, it's not only easier to avoid hitting another car if you are moving fast, but also that other cars are less likely to pull into your path as they can see YOUR headlights very easily. Of course, that all don't mean JACK unless it's a long, level, straight road, which is essentially all we have here in the FlatLands!

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see the it was a quick car but I don't give props to people who put them selves in dangerous situations like that. Be a little smarter about it next time is all I ask.

I'd seem mighty hypocritical if I din't also bring up my distaste of Nick Hogan's recent street-racing debacle. So if anyone whos seen that thread is wondering about my true feelings...no, I am not a fan of street racing, but I know it happens, and I save my derision of it for when the poop hits the fan like it did in Nick's case. Two-faced? MMM, kay. You got me! But while Nick's deal was a case of layer upon layer of stupidity, this one is considerably more innocuous.
So, yes, Harmigula...you are right. Yet...this can only devolve to pissing match status if it continues. I'd like to get the thread back to its real original intention, which was not to glorify fast street cars racing, but to compare the performance of our beloved Cobalt against something seemingly much more potent!

You may have a harder time with a Manual though, This is an a4 with LT's and a tune vs a stock M6 both ls2's

The stall helps out the GTO like I said before but form a roll a cammed M6 is gonna be rough to beat. Most of the M6 guys use larger cams as well, that mixed with lower drivetrain loss makes a mean roll car. I am hoping to trap 118 this year.

Most M6 guys run way bigger cams as well so watch out!

Good race, but you definitely killed yourself like someone else already stated. You could have easily been in front of the GTO if you started in 2nd gear @ 40mph and brake boosted to add further insult to injury. Brake boosting wins roll races because it's easier to stay ahead once you have a few car lengths on someone to start.
