pull the weight out of the trunk first and hope for a good launch. You might win.

depends, if you can get traction right away it will be close, if you can't your screwed. Its going to be a drivers race.

Guys i have beaten many v6 mustangs (NOT the new ones). Some have been autos and some have been the 5sp. But all i have is a 5sp with intake/exhaust and havent won by less than a length.

when i ran my auto 2.4 with intake, header & catback against my friends 06 mustang auto v6 (stock) he beat me by a little. my opinion is your gonna lose. hes heavier but his hp wil more than make up for the wieght difference. you better wipe your ass on that twenty before you race so at least you get a little satisfaction from your hard earned cash.

The 2004 mustang is heavier but if he has the 3.9L V6 engine I would say he'll still beat you.
The 2.2 without any mods is pretty damn slow and the torque steer is going to be a problem when going full throttle.

once you pass the finish line, if you lose just keep going.

I'm with everyone else. The V6 will eat a Cobalt. The new V6's have 210 horsepower; that is pretty impressive for a 4.0 V6 considering my '89 Mustang had 225 hp stock and it is a 5.0 V8. (Torque is a different story though...)
