Seems like everybody gets all butt hurt when a cobalt beats thier brand of car. I doubt anyone would call bullshit when I tell them how I CRUSHED R/Ts and SRT-8s with the Goat. But if I were to even suggest that I could do it with my 'balt (that is fast becoming just as quick as my Goat) people would flip.
Also, Sneaks "facts" were complete BS. It's hard not to reply to a post that is just laced with lies.

Just followed this link over from ChargerForums ...so since they decided to come over to this GM site I thought I'd set some things strait and help out these good GM owners. First off SRT-8s don't produce like advertised. I have rarely seen them post ETs in the 12s. Now personally here is what they have run against me. Both these timeslips are the same day same track (June 4 2007). The first is me vs a real 300C SRT-8, picture provides proof. The second slip is me against a member of ChargerForums who drive a black SRT-8 Charger. I typically see both of these type of cars running low to mid 13s. I'm car #6.
Charger boys you're owned go home.
sorry second link should be this, me vs 300c SRT

because they are only good from a dig. Don't you get it. V8's run out of steam once you get passed second gear. All that torque helps theme get off the line but then they just choke at high rpm's plus they are heavy ass bricks. light fwd 4 clyinder is the way to go for top end. Duh!
Choke at higher RPM'S? Not, I just handed a WRX his a$$ today.

Maybe the Charger just didn't run good that run...bottom line they are PROVEN low 13 second cars. Period. If the driver cant drive, you'll see mid 13 second runs. Cobalt SS is in the 14s. That's a big difference and = serious mods to even match the performance of the STOCK 6.1L motor.
Common sense people.
Edit: and your ride is a beast...very nice work.

And 300Cs SRT-8s are known to be a little quicker then the SRT-8 Chargers. The 300C guys suggested to me its in the gearing.
...but an SRT-8 can fall into Cobalt SS range is what I wanted to show so calling BS when one claims to take a SRT-8 down should be considered automatic. ...granted there aren't any white ones but then again there aren't any white GTO's. ...well not any that were produced.

As far as it falling into cobalt range, only if th SRT driver royally screws something up or if the Cobalt is seriously modified. Bottom line. Can it happen? Sure...likely, not really.
Up-badging is also an issue with the 300s, Chargers, and Magnums. Anyone can slap an SRT8 emblem on a 300C or 6 cyl.

I have to disagree with the gearing statement. The cars are exactly the same, save a more aggressive suspension on the Charger. Charger SRT8s are as fast as any 300 SRT8 stock for stock, as far as I know.

Depending on how fast your car is its not out of the question. The SRT-8's are nice and fast but not all that impressive on top end, especially the Jeep. I mean in the above video it only traps 101 in the 1/4! Not very good at all. It wouldn't break into the 13's if it were not for the fact that it goes 0-60 in like 4.5 seconds. They are a monster from a dig though. I raced one with a blower and he barely beat me on the top end and he had 160whp more than me. The 300C is the fastest SRT-8 though. Personally I dont think the op accomplished what he wrote but it seems to me that there ar a few on this site, with cobalts, who could beat one of these from a roll. Now a dig, thats a different story.

But the other timeslip shows a 300 running 13.2? The Charger and the 300 are exactly the same save about 100lbs. There is no difference in ETs, just drivers.
Maybe the Charger just didn't run good that run...bottom line they are PROVEN low 13 second cars. Period. If the driver cant drive, you'll see mid 13 second runs. Cobalt SS is in the 14s. That's a big difference and = serious mods to even match the performance of the STOCK 6.1L motor.

Mid 14s if he lifts off of the throttle. Usually bad drivers are closer to high 13s in straight line. All you really need to do to run 13 anything in these cars is stand on the gas, provided you're not just spinning at the line.

Hah hah, Mid 14's with traction control on, and not letting off the gas. He couldn't figure out how to get off the line.

After racing an SRT8 tonight I've come to the conclusion that said Cobalt would have gotten beat very badly if the driver had the gas pedal on the floor. It IS however possible that the guy racing in the SRT8 spilled his coffee on his leg while attempting to race, and had to slow down while he was looking for a napkin to dry himself. This could have been confused as a win for the cobalt. Because we all know anything can happen on the street!

The traction control in these things is a beast. If it senses foolishness it cuts fuel. Very embarrassing I'd imagine.

Alot of people in the stands were having adverse reactions to a Charger getting beaten so badly. But me and the Charger guy are friends so we just lauphed it off. If he ever learns how to drive it he may give me a run for my money.

well, guys, flaming kids, like i said earlier, it was probably a 300C because the car was definitely i white car. for the ones who says i am a liar then fuckoff, i am not going to post bullshit **** in here. and for the one who says "are you sure he was racing?" then stfu again, going around 180 kph on a 50 kph limit bridge behind me is probably racing 
u punched it trust me. for the str8 things, its was looking like an str8 and he had the str8 wheels. now flame more !!!!! i dont give a ****
pissedoff? have a cookie.

if i owned a gto, i would be upset with this thread. since a stock gto and stock srt8 are pretty much competitors, the author would like for us all to think a cobalt ss sc is somehow on the same level as these cars.
truth is, it simply isnt. now a cobalt ss sc and the charger/300/magnum high output v6 are more on your guys level. both are cheap cars that can be modded to be just above the slow mark. in the end, the car is still a commuter, def not to be confused with muscle cars.
