I have a friend who has a ss s/c and we raced one time when my 02 gt was stock from a 35 mph roll and i walked on him pretty good. By the time he said he let off I was atleast 3+ car lengths ahead of him.
The mods he listed for his car equal to well over $10k easy.
Isnt it even worse getting smoked by an ugly car!?
I wouldnt race a tc balt from a roll....not in a near stock 2v anyways
2 things to remember, fast is relative and looks are subjective. Lets use the Ferrari California as an example. The Ferrari California is ugly as H, but would probably mop the floor with most of the Mustangs on this website both at the track and at the road course.
WOW! subjective is right...ugly as H*** is a phrase I've never hear to describe a Ferrari California...sexy as H*** maybe
but ya, somebody is always gunna be faster, or at least claim to be...there is a lot more than just being "faster" otherwise we'd all be driving turbocharged, big block Foxes
That's exactly what I am saying. Plus we're talking about a Cobalt SS. If asked what sounds and looks better a V-8 Mustang or a Cobalt SS, most will say the Mustang (unless it's a Mustang II ). You can argue all day that a Cobalt will beat up a 2V Mustang GT, which it may, but it's still an ugly Cobalt with horrible sounding exhaust.

That thing looks like a knock-off corvette.
If I ever lost to a cobalt I would run my car into the first wall I seen at the time. This would mean my car went at least a 14 second 1/4 mile. To the OP if you lose you need to have your stang rights taken away.
I hope you're referring to a stock SS, but I would hardly make such an absolute statement like that. A "modified PI mustang" isn't exactly a world beater. I would know, I've owned two of them.the cobalt ss is not gonna beat a modified PI mustang

Just sayin, you can hate on these cars all you want but don't be surprised when one of them makes you look stupid.

And your point would be? Its only 260 Hp w/supercharger and the suspension on those cars are'nt the best GMC could do, trust me. I'm telling you those cars might smoke a very average Stang but, anyone w/any car savy can outrun those cars in a PI mustang w/mods. This is not even worth arguing. You kids need to look way beyond horsepower and start doing some serious physics. 2000 hp isn't worth garbage if the car can't put it to the ground. Have you seen the tires most of the cars come w/. Hell the Dodge Chargers come w/some skinny bicycle tires and I know I can outrun most around were I live, and yes they are V-8s, and the Super Bee isn't that much faster at 460 HP. This not a Douche bag moment. Quit worrying about those little vehicles and put your time and energy worrying about ZR1's or those what I like to call "The Over Compensators" aka Ferrari's and Lambos. Sheesh!
Stock/average PI Mustang = low 14s or high 13s on a good day.
Basic modded PI Mustang = mid 13s on a good day.
S/Ced Cobalt SSwith a pulley and driver = mid-high 13s all day long
I'm sure the turboed SSes are even faster than that.
Bolt-on/minor upgrade SRT-4s go low 13s easy.
Don't think I'm sticking up for the imports or bashing the Mustang, as I'd never have it any other way that I do right now, but credit has to be given to these cars. I've seen more Mustangs lose to a Cobalt SS than win.
