finally hit 1200 miles!
Finallyyyyy i hit 1200 miles and got to let the car loooooose..
first time a freeway on ramp felt so short.. so yea on my way home from work .. just got off the freeway and i see a modified cobalt SS chasing me and "luckily" got a red light side by side. me and the guy talked for a couple secs and turned green. i thought it would be a close race but.... wow.... my first kill and it had to be a SS.... :mad: lol jk |
LOL! Nice... Cobalt SSs are funny. Their stage 3 hardly kept up with my Trans Am when it was bone stock.
|
with a new super charger pulley and a reflash they take out STIs from a roll..

sti's and evo's are not great highway cars. if you want a great highway car thats awd look at an Audi S4, Nissan skyline GTR or a 3000gt VR4. |
Why aren't the Evo's good for the highway?
|
i was speaking from like a 30 roll... not a highway roll.. thats obviously not a fair comparison.. and because when you think about it they really do not have much HP and TQ for their weight.. the AWD robs a lot of power and traction just gets them out of the hole insanely fast.. even a stock G37 runs with a stock STI from a roll..

Nobody twin turbos a 4 cyl. As far as I know, the Evo is a 4 banger.

1) The evo is NOT twin turbo.
2) A Stock STI's Powerband is from around 2300 to 5000RPM, it does not run out of breath by 4000RPM. 3) Evo's and STI's have very very short gearing. I, for example have an STI, and on the highway 80mph means 35-3700RPM in 6th. Also the fact that it has a small turbo for response means that the turbo can't flow enough CFM to make big power on the top end means that it is NOT a top end highway run car. 4) STI's advertise 300hp when in reality they make around 230WHP stock. There is a BIG drivetrain loss. 5) G37 Should keep up with an STI stock for stock, but at stage two, it will not. I am shocked about the authority with which some of you speak when you don't know enough to make accurate statements. As far as racing cobalts...come on lol..a cobalt? Were you really that surprised? |
:tup: On your 1200 break in.
:thumbsdown: On your street race. |
Wow, that's got to be at least 50 miles per day. Definitely no garage queen!

Ya, I wouldn't get all excited about taking out a Colbalt SS. That's like a mid day snack for my Z. Just to keep me going until dinner. :driving:
|
I wouldn't even waste the gas. Someone driving one of those will blow by you well after you hit the brakes and brag to his friends later how he took you ;]
