SS/SC Vs. V6 Eclipse

BullDog71ss · #1 07-09-2005, 03:58 PM

While taking a little drive lastnight around town I pulled up next to a V6 Eclipse. I looked it over, saw the V6 badge on it but did'nt think much cause I knew I could take it. However, the 3 homeboys in the car took much more notice of my car. The conversation went something like this...

Dude in passenger seat- "How much horsepower does that thing have?"
Me- "Bout 250"
Him- "Damn! Wanna go?"
Me- "Sure...why not?"

Light goes green, We take off which results in me pulling about 2 bus lengths in 10 seconds or so.

Him again at next light- "Is that thing supercharged?!"
Me- "Heck yeah!"
Him- "Holy shit that's awesome."
Me- "Yeah it puts a smile on my face."

We ran our cars again a couple times from various speeds and gears, all with the same results of the first run.

A couple lights later I pulled up next to them again...
Me- "What is that...210 horsepower?"
They looked around at eachother in confusion for a bit and the passenger says "Yeah, I think so!"
I laughed a bit and said "What year is it?"
Them- "It's a 2000"
Me- "Yeah, 210 is about right then"

After exchanging "nice runs" and "cya arounds" we went our seperate ways. I was actually suprised at how nice the dudes were. They look liked your typical punk 16-18 year old teenage kids, but were really pretty friendly.

I can't wait to get a few mods on this thing so I can go after bigger and better fish like evo's and sti's! Racing these stock sport compacts is like beating up a blind kid in a wheelchair...it's just not fair.

Heh...what joke? I was being serious. It's got just under 250 to the crank at around 6800 rpm :P

OH it's a Cobalt SS. I thought you were talking about the '71 Camaro in your profile. My mistake on that one.

The cobalt SS makes 250 crank, really? I thought it has the same engine as the ion redline, which would put it at...shit I don't know, but less than 250

90redgt · #10 07-09-2005, 11:06 PM

Yeah i thought it was 205hp on those things.Err well maybe 205 at the wheels which would make sense of it having 250 at the flywheel. Man this whole time i thought you were talking about a Supercharged LS1 (SS/SC) lol.

LMAO its not 250 on the crank, 250 at the crank yet ive watched 2 iod redlines running at the track and the best they could do was a 15.1. The SS might be under rated by a bit, but no more than 20HP.

Unless you go a dyno sheet to prove 235WHP, that thing doesnt have 250 HP. If you keep thinking it does and you dont have any mods, id seriously watch you dont start to wonder into burntrice territory.

I HARDLY think one misinformed post projects him into "burnt rice territory"

Good race and good kill. However, you car doesn't have 250 horsepower, but it rated at around 205 at the crank.

You should have been "cool" and supercharged a Cavalier...THEN you would really have something.
