Word. A lot of bs floating around this thread.

and since when is a properly tuned SS/T a "mid 13 second car at best"? Several have hit low 13s and even touched 12.90s with traps of 108 on nothing more than a good tune.

103-105 traps with a tune? Are you shitting me?

There may not be many mid-13 second ETs in stock TCs, but there's LOTS that trap 104 easily. A tune is easily good for 107-108mph traps.

Excuse the quality, my capture card is down so I had to USB stream the video. For those of you who answered G8, props to you for having logic and reason.

its late lol.... and i was watching a movie... kinda not really payin attention to both.....but the point is a 2.0l 4 cylinder just wont have that up top pull that a larger displacement motor will.... at around 100mph the displacement honestly starts to take over....

im not saying as soon as u hit 100mph ur car just hits a wall im saying at 100 mph ur not pulling as hard as b4..... aka gearing.... 4th gear is in most cars a 1:1 enough said...

The driver drove perfect, brake boosted and NLS.
I think he needs a downpipe, car really sucks in the high RPMs.

man those things are struggling after they hit 100! it doesnt matter what size your motor is, obviously the faster you go the harder its going to be to accelerate. just admit you failed and move on

here is the problem with this thread slow sho. by trying to portray this as a "look a tuned ss/tc isnt that fast" by comparing it to a stock g8, you havent proved anything. there has been widespread proof that there are huge variations in power output of cars tuned by different people, therefore this comparison is stupid. it proves nothing more than this particular cobalt runs this close to a stock g8. i guarantee you this is not a very well tuned car.

I honestly don't believe anything you say unless the owner of that car speaks in here. We all know you're hellbent on slandering cobalts.

lol ok u win lol **** this 12 hour day **** lol....

but hey those cars dont count... lol those are full on drag cars lol... jk...heck even my built suby kinda died off alil after 100... even my nissan dies off alil (compared to modded ls2s)

but u do have to admit after 100mph the ss tc does start to die off.... its just all about gearing, horsepower, aerodynamics, and displacement after that.... i mean a fully built b18 turning 13000rpms wit a gt42r in a hatch weighing in at 2000lbs is still gonna move... but a 300-350fwhp 2800lb car turning 7000rpms isnt gonna pull like that...

ahhh **** it i fail neways.. its time for bed...

I do believe it will be a neck and neck race.


no idiot. i attempt to cast out anyone who makes stupid comments for no reason. Nobody cares if "both cars are slow". what the hell does that have to do with the thread? absolutley nothing other than trying to be an *******. i love all cars, but hate douchebags.

have a nice day.

Everyone is so quick to throw GMs1 under the bus when it makes good power.
