if it did happen it really shouldn't be much of a race for the cobalt. Ryans car makes more power and is alot less weight.

From what I was told, they started out around 65. The Mustang got the jump, maybe a car length. The Cobalt pulled about 6 cars or so up to 145, putting him about 5 cars out front. My LNF on a street tune would have been a better race for the Mustang.

If it was me, I would have not raced a 600whp Cobalt vs a 500 whp Cobra.

It was a good race night in mexico.

Shibito is cool guy and has a really nice, fast Cobra, so don't give him too much ****. Both cars put down 600 to the wheels but one weighs 1000lbs less. The outcome was pretty obvious but he was still willing to race.

Took videos from both cars, honestly they both suck in quality and you can't really see anything. Tinted windows+dark cars FTL

We went 70-145, Ryan said he floored it on the 2nd honk to try and cut the turbo lag. He said I jumped out roughly 1 car on him and he was 4-5 cars ahead when we let off.

After hearing everything that's actually done to that car it's quite amazing to believe it's still a Cobalt

I'll leave it up to Ryan of whether or not he wants to share anything else. I just PM'd the guy with the videos and I will post them up despite how bad they are.

Was a great time. Was good meeting you Ryan.

Worlds fastest cobalt lol wow ok...
Anyway not 4-5 cars its 5-6 cars ok so stop trying to seem like you didnt get beat all that bad. Also you made it seem like he took off before you did. Damn can you just admit you got your ass stomped? 5-6 cars is alot to loose by in my book. And how are you suprised its still a cobalt? Still a cobalt to me Nd everyone else

4-5 or 5-6 isn't that huge of a difference he stated his opinion an so did ryan with his estimate its not like they can exactly measure it...its a ******* guess. I believe he did admit he loss and he was making a joke about being surprised its still a cobalt because so much **** is done to it. ii also to my knowledge it is the fastest street cobalt other than GM's drag "cobalt"
