You are exactly right. If you read the line I stated before I said, "I figured WTH lets see what a lightly modded GT on street tires can do."
I just wanted to compare them. I had no intentions of beating him. I have no misconception of how fast my car is and for the most part I only race cars in my class. This race was purely for fun and I had fun doing it. I am suprised he only pulled me 8 cars or so because hes got in the range of 320 - 330hp in a torquey rear wheel drive car.
I dont care that people want to flame me. But it wasnt like I was trying to win. Hell if I wanted to win I would just jump in the ******* Talon Im trying to buy and it wouldnt even be a race.

ROFL say what you will but I helped build that car. Were building an exact replica of it atm and it will be mine just as soon as I finish saving. I just started a new job this week so I have only been putting aside about $200 a month towards the Talon. Total cost after build is $9500. Pure American Cobalt toy for daily driver and Pure American Talon for track rapeage... Meh its the best of both worlds. 2 cars I love. And most importantly both of them American built.

I know my car is beatable...we run with a bunch of evos back home and most currently would take my lunch...but some i stay right with or beat. Things will change this winter.
I however have problems with people who deny basic physics... a 145 crank hp car vs a 200crank hp car...weight difference of prob what like 400 lbs......the mustang is gonna win manual to manual and auto to auto...RWD launch, more power, more tq. He was talking like he could beat any of em...from what i see he got lucky.

haha i love this. two idiots with 2.2's think their car's are amazingly fast when they aren't. my car isn't fast. i know that, but it is faster than a 2.2. 210hp vs what 145-150? 240 ft lbs vs what 150? the extra couple hundred pounds is NOT going to overcome a good 60-70hp and probably close to 100 ft lbs. no way in hell. This is a joke. this is like me talking **** about a late 90's cobra....i respect the 2.2, the 2.4, and the 2.0. they are all very good cars for the money, but come on you two. you are driving a purely economical car that usually runs low 16's or high 15's vs a slightly sporty car that runs low 15's or high 14's. Most of the people on this site are great, but this **** reminds me of that guy a while back saying a gallardo backed down because he got frightened after him seeing him run his ss/sc a few times. BAHAHAHA! welcome to the world of civics, where the snozzberries taste like snozzberries, and some cobalt owners taste like v-tec.
i'd like to see pics of this "all american" talon.

Like I said, I consider myself damn good of a driver in the first place because according to the s/c guys, I should've gotten owned when I didn't. Then they just say that the other guy was a bad driver. BULLSHYT!!! The SS's bash the 2.2's so hard it's rediculous. And if you think I'm raising the BS flag on my driving, check some of my posts and let me inform you I was getting HARD 2nd gear scratches off 99 Chevy Tracker with upgraded and sticky Khumo tires. Flame me if you want, I don't care. Because I know what I've done. The REALLEST ***** you'll ever meet... 1.

They're not sitting there going "OMFGWTFBBBQ I beat teh Zooo6 Corvett" nor are they the types, unlike a good number of people on this site, that think their 2.2, 2.4, or 2.0 is untouchable.

Because you bold out the part of djt's post that says 2.2 owners seem to think their cars are unbeatable and proceed to make the statement that he and WSFrazier think the same thing about their cars. Which, first of all, has jack to do with this thread and second of all is an unfounded statement. It's like sitting in junior high school with the kid that has no better comeback than "Yeah, yeah, well, you do too. So there."

Yeah i have yet to understand why these guys got so angry that I would race my brothers best friend. I mean I know the guy. I have for 8 years and hes like 2 years younger then me. Just cause he was a much more powerful car doesnt mean there is no reason to race. I tend to think Amateur Racing is for fun and entertainment. Not for winning sponsorships or making tons of money. Its not like I came on here saying wow I almost beat a Mustang GT. I came on here in title and said I GOT ROASTED!!!! I then stated how bad I got beat(7 car lengths in a 1/8th) and I also stated how I had fun. There is no reason tehre to be flamed. But again this site has turned into nothing but a bunch of haterade drinking mother ******* mixed in with a couple really cool people. Its just to bad Hack and Halfcent and the others dont warn/punish these people who are on here day after day only to hate on other cobalt owners. I thought we were here because we all loved our cars, and loved driving our cars. Guess I was wrong.

I love this site, gets more entertaining by the minute.but seriously, like in real life, just weed through the idiotic comments... you wouldn't be friends with a total idiot that has no idea what they're talking about, so why bother here with those same people... i probably shouldn't have made my comment, and i know that... i'm not a punk ass little kid, and i'm certainly not one of those people that thinks my car is unbeatable... i take it for what it's worth, and i love it.... that's about it
the downside to posting on an internet forum is that you can't hear someones tone, so it's sometimes very difficult to pick up sarcasm or a joke that you would have in real life, so things get taken the wrong way...
