haha it's not stoppin me

 

If anyone needs a car to get laid, they are truly lame. I have a friend who foots it everywhere and kicks it on the bus who gets more *** than anyone I have ever met or known(besides me). True players or ladies men need no car to get laid, and that my friend is the facts.

 

Well, I could see why the Sti would hang with the '03-'04 Evos, w/ their 9.8hotsides. Also would explain why you didn't even mention the '05 Evos in your rant . I personally have experience racing a 2004 and a 2006 Sti from both a dig and roll, and can tell you 1st hand it wasn't as close as you speak of from ~40mph roll. The '04 let off after I put about 4 cars on him, and the '06 lost by about 3 cars (he had unknown mods, but def. catback at least). If this is what you call "not by much", then your RIGHT! This by the way, was when I was BONE stock!

I never had traction issues racing from a roll w/ my SRT! Also, w/ the 260-280whp you speak of for $600, the Cobalt also would have major traction issues!

I actually love the way the Cobalt SS/SC looks, I just think it's a down hill battle with the supercharger! Sure, 300whp sounds great for Stage 6 or whatever, but then what? Goodbye stock blower if you want more! If the Cobalt had it's same looks, and a SRT-4-like engine, it would be an insane car for around 20k, but...GM didn't do that. Which was my original point.

 

GM seriously screwed up w/ the supercharger.. I don't see why people don't like the looks of the ss/sc... I mean especially evo guys.. You guys are rolling w/ the big spoiler too which turns off some people but I really don't like the rear of the cobalts but that's about it...

 

if i could've gotten my MR spoiler-less, i would have.

 

+1 on my IX! I wish we had a more tasteful wing option like the Sti guys have...I don't like our other option at all!

 

Isn't it a quick job to take it off?

 

lol u effing tool.

after reading this post and laughing my rear off, anyone for a drink? lol cause the whining little girls that drive cobalt are just that, lil girls. hell i even know a 16 yr old girl at my work that drives cobalt. shes really nice and know nothing of mits evo. lol.

 

coolllllll

 

It is but then you have 2 holes to fill and it looks dumb. Doesn't stick out that much but its kinda one of those things where it annoys you cuz you know its there...CF trunk(not predrilled) or an RS trunk swap is the only other way to go.

 

Yeahh on our cars there is like a TON of residue glue **** left over so I've decided not to take mine off because I don't feel like dealing w/ all of it.

 

or an oz rally trunk swap with the low profile spoiler if yins ever wanna trade let me know its the same trunk

 

That is some funny stuff, just once i would like to meet these kind of people in real life just to see their point of view, I always see these car ripping articles on the net, but the writers seem to want to stay anonymous.

As far as running circles around a AWD drive car with a big power FWD.....*laughing my *** off* no offense but maybe you ment straight line....

anyways, good find! I always need a little humor to get my work day going!

 

This is funny. It is always nice to see this kind of stuff just to remind us of how jealous most people are and the fact that they are so jealous as to take the time to make up and write an article like that. That would be like all of us saying only douchebags drive Porsches and Ferraris. I'm not gonna lie, I AM jealous of anyone with a Ferrari but I'm not gonna bash the guy for it. I wish I had one. And I like how the kid knocks our spoilers when the SS Cobalt has one almost as big and the car is FWD. I will say this though. When I lived back in Jtown most people wouldnt ever try to race me except this one kid with a base model Cobalt with a fart can. He would rev on me every day on the way to work and I always ignored him. Not worth the gas, or the speeding ticket.

 

No rant, just stating the facts for what they are sir.

You said you have experience racing "an 04 and 06 STi". Well that shows me that it was a single or maybe a couple of races and obviously who ever was driving the STi either had an extremely weak one or couldn't drive a lick. I have tested each against one another many many times since I own both and had equal drivers in each. It wasn't "I can see why the STi could HANG with the 03-04 Evo", we are talking about flat out blowing the doors off in 50+ or more runs "BONE STOCK FOR STOCK". BTW, it was widely known for the 04-05 STi to be 2 to 3 tenths quicker in the quarter mile from day one over the 03-04 Evo(I call that about 3 to 4 car lengths there) thus the 05 Evo introduction to combat this. I think my stock 05 STi being able to launch at 6600rpm+ repeatably without breaking driveline parts or destroying the clutch while my 04 Evo clutch would be burning toast from slipping it at 5000rpm+ launches gives an advantage to the STi. Hell, from a roll it was game over for the 04 Evo. Infact, I still have the stock clutch in my 05 STi, and it is still going very strong with 100's of 6000rpm+ launches. As for not mentioning the 05 Evo, that's because I have no experience with the 05 Evo and don't know many who personally do, so why would I compare that unless it was for a lie which this is about facts. It is widely known as well from the horses mouth, every SRT-4 with big power has traction issues from a roll or a dig on stock street tires(BFG KDW's). It may not have "as much" traction issues stock from a roll but it still will once the power gets up there. Also, I did mention that the SS will have traction issues as well. So I did cover all my bases that "I" have first hand experience with as a hobbiest and a custom shop and tuner for the last 18+ years.

As for the $600 260-280 whp in my associates SS/SC, he has a factory freak with just MAF Translator, Lucas 42.5 pound/hour fuel injectors and a pulley. He has the old Stage 3 as well and this was on a Dynojet Dyno, so we all know it may be a little high compared to a Mustang or DD dyno. Honestly some people are really under estimating the SS with Ecotec motor and it's supercharger. The supercharger can be ported and much more. Intense has Bonnevilles and Grand Prixs that are running this same supercharger and have hit 9 and 10's in the quarter with street driven heavy tanks. The axles would break before the supercharger would run out of steam. So if you don't have first hand experience with this setup, I suggest keeping it down please.

Don't take it wrong, but I love fast cars no matter who makes them. I'm not biased like many on here seem to be.
