Went for a cruise tonight..

Well I went for a long cruise tonight and raced a few people. First I raced a 08 STI at the lights ( i think the guy was a shitty driver) But I didnt have proof this time , but my camera is in the car now, but none the less I beat him and I also raced him on a roll from 3rd to 4th and let off becasue the cops are crazy right now and still beat him. But the best show tongith was a 06 cobalt ss. But heres the thing it wasnt supercharged it was turbo'ed!!!!! Soo fast he had a dyno shit with him (he just built it) and it was dyno'ed at 392 whp!!! Like that this was fast. I raced him and he had shitty ass tires on it And i beat him from 1st to 2nd he spun soo bad. ME and him are friends now. And he thinks my car would run high 13's. He raced last year and i knew him from that and he ran a 13.8 with the supercharger. He actually thinks i would run 13.5 But I doubt it definetly. I love my car though big plans here withing the next few weeks. And for some reason my car every once and a while likes to bog out when i step on it at high RPM's. ITs like when you have a shitty launch, it feels like that? what could that be from???

Re: Went for a cruise tonight..

Regardless of whether or not you actually beat an STi, I don't think anybody is going to believe you because those are pretty fast and there have been skeptics since day 1. I'd hold off on the stories for a while if I were you.

Re: Went for a cruise tonight..

Come on man... 13's? Especially when it's giving you problems like it has been?... Listen... I'm not trying to dog ya here on this, but you are not running anywhere near 13's in that thing. For goodness sakes, you only have an intake, exhaust, and plug wires on it. And I do believe 16psi is the factory setting on a 2g, so you can't say you upped the boost and it helped...

As for the turbo Cobalt SS. I think they started the turbochargers on them for the 08 models. An 06 SS should have been supercharged unless it was a NA SS and he threw and aftermarket kit on it?

Re: Went for a cruise tonight..

It was supercharged.....but now it has a sick t3/t4 .50 trim turbo on it and it was tuned and everything..the intercoller piping is like 3". I did turn the boost up...it was at 12 psi before.

Re: Went for a cruise tonight..

A shitty driver can take a low 13 second car to mid 15 second. And for the love of Jebus don't film and drive.

Re: Went for a cruise tonight..

dude just showvideo or the timeslip and let us see.the race wins you have pulled in on the t25 is like saying that a 210 hp car is really 300+
with an intake and exhaust. after 10+ years of engine usage too.

Re: Went for a cruise tonight..

This thread is going to end up just like the last one...

And your not in the 13's yet. As mentioned in the other thread, the fastest I have seen a T25 was 13.7. And you dont have close to the number of mods he had.

You and me both. You would think that before making ANOTHER post like this that there'd be proof first. Cameras still in the car... then why bother posting until the footage was uploaded? Yet he'll still complain when people make comments about not proving anything.

Just FYI, should these "videos" ever get up, I want pics of that from all around also... just so we know that you're not just stealing StreetFire and YouTube videos.

Until then.... opcorn:

Re: Went for a cruise tonight..

hmm.....A SS cobalt that used to be supercharged that was converted to turbo? Makes no sense.

And you said he ran 13.8 when it was supercharged? Yeah right. I seen a Berger SS cobalt run at the track 14.5
