War Stories Post your racing wins. CobaltSS.net does not support or encourage street racing. Be smart and take it to the track.

why are the ss s/c's getting owned on the you tube videos?

did you not look at my signature?
Maybe I am not writing it big enough....

Reaction time has nothing to do with 1/4mile time.


Are you sure you are reading the slips right???

I look at it like so what if the vids show slow Cobalts. That's better for the fast guys. Let them think Cobalts are slow. People get a rude awakening when it's their turn on the street. That's all that matters.

that is a good point, although i'm not considering myself one of the fast guys (faster than stock, but not that fast)

Stock I run consistant 14.2s @ 100mph. I know alot about the track and reaction time does not effect your 1/4th mile times. Just thought I would let you know since I worked at a NHRA track here in PA. However in some types of racing you need to make sure your reaction time is on par because they effects your points in certain compatitions.

You have read your signature right...... You need to learn how to drive. your car is a low 14 second car stock. no reason for your time to be so high

You have no idea about his track or the preperation it had on that day. Maybe at that track stock SS/SCs are mid-high 14 second cars.

haha, you beat me to it. I remember on multiple tracks I went to stock my times were 14.3-14.5
That went down to 14.1 with my intake and exhaust.

Oh well. I can't wait for spring. New clutch = not slipping like a bitch.

i dont know why everyone is bashing me and my time... all i started this thread for was to talk about the people street racing in their cobalt and getting street raped on you tube.. not 1/4 mile times.. we all know what the ss s/c is CAPABLE of running stock

by the way.. how many times did you run it? i've only been down the track 4 times, and once i stalled, so i really don't have alot of practice

its a lil sumthin called altitude, the higher up you are the slower the ET's. in calgary we run about 14.7's, same thing we move down to sea levels and we'd run the same 14.2's you are stock

ahhh you should have kept that to yourself. ATCO is one of the best if not the best tracks in the countries at certain times of the year.

i said it earlier in the thread.. so if you read it all u would have already known. but i really don't care that i'm not the best driver in the world.. i'm merely saying that people that drive like me, should not be street racing people, filming their loss and then posting it on you tube, thus making the cobalt look like it is a dog

I must have missed it, because I did read the whole thread. You don't have to defend yourself to me, I agree with you. But on the same token, at least those vids show the truth. SS/SCs are quick and capable but they are not unbeatable.

Atoc is pretty bad...it got better after the "restoration" but I still hate it. Go to Englishtown....it's known as the "fastest" track in the country but when you run, take the right lane


Quick Reply: why are the ss s/c's getting owned on the you tube videos?
