Hey guys as hard as it is to believe, i beat a Supercharged SS Cobalt today! lol and all i have is the 1998 3.8L... I ran it HARDDDD lol. my cousin just got the car and he's not really good at shifting it yet. i beat him by almost two car lengths.
i just figured out how to shift using my auto... how hard is it on it to wrap it around, i lost to a 1999 mustang with a superchip in it yesterday by a length and almost a half (without the chip i woulda beat him) and he told me how to shift it... i used to shift it but i never really got it, so i was slowin myself down. but now that he taught me better, i fly like a bat outta hell and bark 2nd LOL!!

you meant 2.0L I4
Standard Transmission
5 Speed Manual
Cylinders
4
Horsepower @ RPM
205@5600
Torque @ RPM
200@4400 (foot/lbs)

instead of 300 hp right?

[97stanger]

sorry. lol. didnt mean to type 300 hp. lol. i believe its running 205hp. lol

[97stanger]

the cobalt is running 14.4 in the 1/4 mile. your 98 stock is 17.3

to beat him you would need the equivalent of the 98 SVT (which is running 14 flat) to beat him.


no way

[oklahomastate8]

what changes in your shifting did you make

[justinsstang]

lol why would i lie? im on a forum over the internet... im not kidding. a win is a win, he's a horrible shifter lolz. this is the only stick he's ever drove and he's only had it for like a week and a half to two. dont call me a liar plz.

[justinsstang]

and yes he has the 205 hp one,
and i wrapped my rpms all the way up untill it bounced (which was like 5700)

[justinsstang]

btw my car isn't completely stock i have true dual exhaust

[3.8Coastie]

if the driver of the cobalt ss sucks as bad as he says then it is possible to beat one. i have a 96 3.8 with only a CAI and i beat a 99 3.8 manual... those cobalt ss's are quick but a bad driver can make it a decent race

[justinsstang]

i beat him by 2 car lengths pretty much. he said by 1 and a half, so i dont argue. and i compromised and said yea about inbetween 1.5 and 2

[justinsstang]

97stanger pm me your cell# and ill have my girl cousin call you, my cousin anthony who got the car is at work probably, so you can just talk to her, unless he's there and will talk 2 u, and u can ask if i (justin) beat his Supercharged Cobalt SS by a length and a half or a little more with my 1998 stock mustang w/ only mod as true dual exhaust. dont talk crap to him about it when he says yes either

[itschristorres8]

BS the whole thing
a 99 vs your 98 you'd lose by morethen just a car and half
shifting with your auto isnt helping...its in your head so stop unless you wana buy a new tranny
the colbolt guy cant drive nor can the guy in the 99
put me in that 99 with a 5speed and i'll see you by 5+in my review

i raced a 98 w/exhaust, intake and a chip and won by 3 cars when i was stock.

ooh and this"and yes he has the 205 hp one,
and i wrapped my rpms all the way up untill it bounced (which was like 5700)"

ISNT A GOOD IDEA. and theres something wrong with your auto if it lets you rev that high

[justinsstang]

lol w/e some people are better drivers than others, anythings possible. blazer beat my friends dads 2006 mustang gt.

[3.8Coastie]

i beat a 99 3.8 (as said above) from a dead stop... he was a manual and sucked at shifting and i got an awesome jump, so it is possible. against a good driver the 99 would have stomped me tho lol. i can see how it could be possible for him to beat the cars as he said, but both drivers would have to be horrible

[justinsstang]

correction *trail* blazer... well i guess i cant really use that as example cuz the blazer had a 350 small block w/ 200 shot nos lol sooo... its prolly like the 3rd fastest thing in my town

[Cricket]

yea the 99+ years have 40 more horses than our sn95's to stock. So he must have been a bad driver as well. Also dual exhaust doesn't help as much as you think it does.

[justinsstang]

also there's a s10 with twin turbo's and its the fastest lol...

im not giving u my number. Sorry, I just find it too hard to believe. O, BTW, stop powershifting your car. your gonna seriously screw up your transmissions. Auto's are made to be put in a gear and left in that gear. Save yourself some cash, and just drive it normally. You will get better performance by leaving it in drive. With powershifting, your leaving your powerband (especially at 5700[which it shouldnt of let you hit anyway]). With leaving it in drive, your see better performance. The only time to downshift it is when your in overdrive and wanna haul ass up a hill or something.
