So..i'm driving home...pull up to an intersection..look in my mirror..to see a beautiful silver intercoler...I looked up at the chevy sign and thought to myself damn..nice ss...I know i couldnt win...Supercharged 5 speed...Damn..Soo i pull out...keeping my rev's low so he wouldnt get the wrong idea..Cause i dont like to get smoked...I saw he put his left turn signal on..and i was going home so i put my right one on...HE switches signals and follows me..
i saw
what the hell
what do i have to lose?
Its a very curvy road..
I romp on it
he romp's
I"m beating him..
i'm like
WHAT THE HELL
stop messing me with me man and just pass me!..after a nice road section i pull over..and he stops...we both get out and start talking...hes like DAMN dude i couldnt get around you!...Is that a gsx? I reply simply no...A gst?...yet again another No...I said its a gs...Hes like 5 speed right?..i reply No..its an automatic..
he looks in amazement..As we go over eachother's car talking about different mods and such...He turns out to be a very nice kid
hes like i dont believe this...wanna run it on a staight?
i reply sure..i said i didnt wanna do a dead stop..so we agreed on a 30 mph roll on..
i get it in 2nd gear(automatic)
he goes to the other lane
3 horn beep's
and we both take off
he ended up taking me by say 2 car lenghts..

it was alot closer then i thought..
we exchanged numbers and away we went..
i came home and RAN to the computer.
went on wikipedia..and looked up his specs...
2.0 I4 210 hp 200 tq...
soo i figure 190 at wheels..
i'm like...115 wheels..if i'm lucky

Anyway..just i'd share a story..
i'm bored..haha

We raced on a complete back road that we BOTH grew up on..
i do not encourage street racing at anyway..but we all know we do it.

Well, 190 at the wheels is being generous...

Maybe he just sucks at driving or just scared of all that power or not used to his vehicle yet.

ya my mom and dad both have 06 chevy cobalt supercharged my dad has stage 2 GM kit and AEM intake also an exhaust and we drive around in that thing and womp on 4.6 mustangs all day long. That dude must have just been a wimp or somthing cause ive got a 1995 eclipse with a bunch of mods and it dont nearly even come close to my mom or dads car. but i like my eclipse better.

Those Ecotecs are not that great of engines...good thing that GM now has a longer warranty period, they blow head gaskets and leak oil quickly.

thats amazing cause they both have one that both get the hell ran out of them on a daily basis and there holding up great not a single issue yet. and thats after almost a year now

GM has had issues with its engines and leaking. I had a 2005 Saturn ION (don't laugh, it's basically a Cobalt/Cavalier) that the axle seal on the passenger side AND the head gasket were leaking badly after 22K miles. I am not saying the Cobalt SS isn't a great car (I personally like them) I am just saying I don't trust GM's engine-making ability anymore. I had Nissan school with a guy who is also a GM Master Tech and told me even the 5.3L and 6.0L V8s are leaking coolant from the same locations as the V6s. Why do you think GM went to Saab-derived 3.6L and 3.9L V6s? Because they realized they can't build them on their own. And, yes, I realize GM owns Saab, but they are still Saab engines, not GM. Just telling you what I know FROM EXPERIENCE. It's all I can base my knowledge on.

im by no means saying that there perfect but im just saying i havent expericed no probs yet (knock on wood)

That's good, then. I've worked on all sorts of 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 cylinder cars and I can honestly say besides Volkswagen (which isn't even that bad) GM makes the worst engines in terms of fluid leaks. Part of the reason they extended their warranties is to cover their butts with people complaining about reliability, and because nobody wants American cars anymore. Japanese cars don't need super long warranties because the cars last long enough.

Something even funnier, I fount out all of GM's 4 and 6 cylinders are built by Opel. The 3.5, 3.6, 3.9, 2.2, 2.4 and 2.0 are all outsourced. Seems GM learned something this time. Of course, this also is because Opel is GM but...I still think it's funny they are using someone else's engines :laughing:

big props for dodge using someone else motor only in the cummins on their trucks those motors will last pretty long without problems. my father in law has an 06 3500 that he uses for work it has like 200k and no problems yet.he runs the crap out of that truck but it ttakes everything he throws at her.very worthy :clap: :clap:

i like the warrenty program they have...
Chevy is bascalling saying

here mod your car

its Ok!

Nissan does it when you buy Nismo parts and have the dealer install them. I think Ford does the same thing with Ford racing parts.

or roush racing parts they are awesome

You can pull real easy on a 2000 and up Sunfire it has an Ecotec.

2002+. The '00-'02 still has either a 2.2 OHV or a 2.4 DOHC. The Ecotec is a 2.2 DOHC (in those cars) and has 150P.

Well since we only have 140 stock the mods I have must have more impact than I thought or we have a better shape/less weight than the Sunfire.

I don't know how mines would fair from a dig against an Ecotec but at highway speed I took em out! :grin:

i feel comfortable id ratherdie than own a colbalt ss. im all for american muscle but cobalt is a POS

american muscle not even close.i believe american muscle would be like the shelby,camaros,mustang,corvettes,challengers,chargers,superbirds and many other big blocks.calling a cobalt a muscle its ridiculous.agree with the pos but thats my opinion.and i'm not picking a fight.

sorry miss typed by no means did i mean the cobalt was american muscle but i didnt wanna diss chevy for making such a horriable mistake of a car.
