ya i have to agree there pretty damn slow/under tuned , im im pretty sure they are supercharged at least the older model cobalt ss were supercharged not turbo , they may have changed it.

I raced a cobalt ss with similar mods from a dig. My car was stock with only an exhaust.. I pulled about a car length and he hung with me the rest of the way..

The older models were supercharged, beginning in 08(IIRC) they are turbocharged. Like i said, you've got nothing to worry about. It would probably take an upgraded turbo, FBO, TBE and meth to run with SBO+tune N54.

well see how things go..

He has full Hahn exhaut, dp, intake, charge pipes, front mount, bsr tune, pushing 330whp/370tq

Dude it'll come down to the driver. He's way under weighing you. However, given that rwd usually sticks more, you may be good to go.

I raced one with my civic n pwned his ass lol. Made me laugh all day. Pathetic supercharged and only ran a 14.2 Pffft

[RnmEvo9]

If you race from a roll, I honestly think he will take you.

[blackedout335i]

idk i sat in it its pretty decent fast but not as fast as mine.. what map should i run on jb4 ? map 1 or map 5 ??

[bigdaddycane]

Run Map 5 and let it adapt a few days ahead of time....then, knock his @ss out.

My good friend has a cobalt ss turbo sedan with a tune and no exhaust. I had a jb3 2.0 and dci. From a dig it was a pure rape fest considering I'm awd. From a roll things are much more interesting. I love those little cobalts, they will surprise even a tuned n54 car and shouldn't be taken lightly. I am able to walk from him pretty good now, but I'm FBO and meth so I'd hope I would. Once he mods up and goes with a better Trifecta tune I expect to have stiff competition.

[sorryiwasnapping]

My friend has a turbo SS with mods putting down around what the op listed. they are surprisingly fast, however first and second gears are worthless from a dig. Race from a 50mph roll of you want any sort of competition from him.

Cobalts are cool cars, the fact that it isn't as nice or expensive is irrelevant. It's like a GTR guy being taken down by a single turbo N54 sometime in the future and then taking solace in the fact that you are going home in a 3 series. Give respect where it's due and you look much less like a douche bag.

[blackedout335i]

haha thanks ^

OP, told you those cobalts aren't to be taken lightly. Your full weight DCI/FMIC JB4 car with a manual at that on Map 1 would trap 109-110 in the quarter mile on a GOOD day. I'm all about rooting for the N54, but I don't think this will be a race in your favor especially from a highway roll. But get it on video and show us! I love race videos.

I regularly race the modded C63's and E63's on an "airstrip" to 160 mph, and my full weight 335i auto with meth+bolt-ons loses by 1 to 2 cars. Consider those C63's and E63's trap up to 9-10 MPH faster than the typical Map 1 N54, so do the math.

idkk well see ; ) ill race him... i might run map 5... i think map 1 is ehhh!

You do understand map 5 can run LESS boost than Map 1 in bad conditions, right?

Get some E85, mix 1 part of it to 2 parts 93 octane gas, run map 7, will be a better race that way.

I personally think Map 1/5 is a slow joke. But hey, that's just me.

[blackedout335i]

bad conditions showing what ??? idk were to get race gas in my area lol no lie..

I said E85, not race gas.

Look it up. E85 should be fairly easy to find in Florida.

At the end of the day, you're in a BMW.. hes in a Chevy cobalt... enough said.

I came from a cobalt and i resent that statement....jk

Jk. If he has never been in a BMW then im sure he loves the ss... Stock for stock the ss supercharged ones feel faster then my 335i... Its not however...
I don't know about the turbo'ed ones but if they didn't straighten out the shitty launches with the supercharged ones then you should be able to take him from a stop...

The cobalt was nice until i got the bimmer. It has ruined me.

[Gravy]

Douche-hole would not be the correct word....maybe a douche

The smarter guys are running some tunes with gear dependent boost on the newer turbo model. Lower boost early, then max boost near the top of second and up.

[a7med606]

there is no game with your car man

the 335i will smoke the cobalt
