Yeah, pretty much. Hell it wasn't our idea to toss the SS badge on. Blame GM.

except 17 year old kids with cobalts are expected to act that way, not mid life crisis GTO owners who are supposed to have a more mature outlook on life. oh well guess thats another of life's mysteries

OMG A $30K sports car is faster then a $20k cheap speed car? NOOO WAY!!! I bet there is a $40 grand car thats even faster then both!!! Im so glad that we decided to point out the obvious now! Im sure there are cobalts that can beat a 6.0GTO, hell I bet there are **** loads of 4 cyl cars that can beat a gto... whoopie? If you need to tell people that own a cheaper, slower car that yours is faster, perhaps you have a problem with how big your wee wee is.

There was a purple SS/SC with white wheels at the track running mid 14's @ ~101mph I'm assuming stage 2. Thats a TWO second difference from my catback and DR'd GTO.

Thanks for watching
Okay, so you got the SS/SCs beat in a straight line.

How about Auto X and Gas Mileage?

i do think its funny the 30K (for the most part) rwd 5.7 and 6.0 guys feel they need to defend themselves against entry level performance 4 bangers though.
