philimaican boii · #1 (**permalink**) 09-18-2009, 02:05 AM

so tonite i raced my first superchared/turboed cobalt ss. i was coming home from walmart and was at a light, started driving and saw/heard this car whistle and zoom past me. havent really raced in a while so i caught up with him at the next light. wen light hit green we were off. he got the jump but i happend to be right there with him and i started pulling on him, around 3rd he started reeling me in but he couldnt get past my rear door

.

2nd race was from a 30 roll. i got him this time and he was right there with me n i started to pull away and he stayed with me again at my passanger rear door. i shut it off around 115ish. wanted to pull over to say wats up but he ended up just zooming right by me. overall i was very pleased n kinda happy that i did that well against him.

Well which one was it? A supercharged one or a turbo one? Big difference in power...The supercharged ones were only 205hp and the turboed ones are 260hp...

Im assumming it was the trubeoed one jus for the fact that it hung at my rear door and was real close both races

Doubt it was the turbo, those things are pretty quick, unless he was a horrible driver. Either way congrats on the W.

Def was the supercharged one. Turbo woulda walked you n slapped u silly.

Good kill.

My friend had the supercharged cobalt n dyno'd 220whp stock. They were under rated.

Gotta aggree, a roll race with a turbo ss is gonna be real hard for you to match it given how much it traps in the 1/4. A supercharged one would fit the story allot better, good kill.

same here.....if it was a turboed one it would have walked away so hard on you......it def was a supercharged one....

The turbo ones almost dyno what they make at the crank (under-rated again lol).

They trap 104MPH +

nice job on the win. There's a turbo SS at my work and I want to talk to the kid and see if I can get a run with him. Don't care if I lose, i really want to see how fast it is from a roll.

It will pull from you up top. Only chance you have is off the line.

thats nuts. i didnt know the new turbo'd ones were that nice. i might have to go turbo cobalt hunting just to see how fast they are.
