Cobalt gearing FTL! LOL It used to be worse on the supercharger models. Soon as they got into 3rd and 4th the car fell flat on its face.

Jb4 , cx intercooler , dci bms , intake scoops , aa downpipes 3" , full cat back exhaust vanguard ?? what kinda power am i looking it ??

might run map 2 or map 5... depends.

BobS · 11-22-2011, 02:55 PM

Thats almost the same as me, I run Map 2. Thats the map I was told to run by Terry. The car feels very fast to me and I love it. I am getting dynoed in the spring so unfortunately I can't tell you what power your at. Hopefully someone else can chime in?

I have JB4, Helix IC, BMS Dci, AR 3 inch catless downpipes, full cat back vanguard exhaust.

Good luck...this race is hyped, i think you'll smoke him.

Q4P · 11-22-2011, 02:58 PM

Any car can be made fast as long as the wallet is right. If it is a built engine, large turbo cobalt; I wish you the best of luck... If it's some wankster with a turbokits.com turbo pushing 300 then you'll be fine.

blackedout335i · 11-22-2011, 03:20 PM

its stock turbo with hahn bolt on kits

Draven · 11-22-2011, 04:29 PM

It scares me that you don't know what race gas does.

I hope you win. My buddy had a Cobolt SS modded, ~400whp. I was going to give him a race but he sold his car, and I sold mine. And he wouldn't race my 550hp Vette once the BMW was gone, lol.

blackedout335i · 11-25-2011, 06:30 PM

raced him map2..

45 roll

Cobalt: full Hahn kit -- intake/exhaust/dp/charge pipes/front mount/bsr ppc tune canned tune ( 23lbs)

335i:

JB4 (map 2 14.5psi)
Intercooler w/ Piping
Double Intakes
intake Scoops(known to get 2hp on cold days lmfao)
AA downpipes

So, was there a passenger in your car as well?

blackedout335i · 11-25-2011, 09:05 PM

Yes I had passenger maybe 130lbs if that

rader1 · 11-25-2011, 10:48 PM

Told you that you would win

I got a run with an SRT4 neon last night(i wish i had a video) it had upgraded FMIC, TBE and bigger turbo vs my cobb stage 1 135i. From a 2nd to top of 3rd gear run i got 2+ cars on him.
Those things just aren't fast. Ive seen probably 10+ of them with similar mods run at the local track(1/8) and the fastest ive seen is 8.7 lol
You should go find some neons to beat up on

vzehler · 11-26-2011, 12:12 AM

Way to go!

pwrdbynel · 11-26-2011, 04:40 AM

Wow that was a close race. Can you imagine what that cobalt will do to a stock M3? I sure wouldn't want to be driving the M3 unless it's on a curvy road. That cobalt is fast but your car is faster of course nice kill. Now get meth.

vasillalov · 11-26-2011, 09:03 AM

You call this a win? Really? The BMW "barely" kept 1/2 car length ahead of the Cobalt. In my book, that's a massive fail.

... oh, and street racing: automatic FAIL.

HAHAHHA! Nice!

MTV · 11-26-2011, 10:54 AM

Cobalt SS' are annoyingly fast

caliguy562 · 11-26-2011, 10:57 AM

I agree. Those are surprisingly quick and just think the cobalt in the video wasn't even tuned to its full potential. I wonder how the turbo model would fare. But yeah, looks like Chevy has itself a sleeper.

pits200 · 11-26-2011, 11:55 AM

Nice car and nice race, but man your exhaust tips stick out so far!

That was a turbo model. And that's about as close to it's full potential as it can get, short of upgraded turbo and serious mechanical engine upgrades.
I consider this a good run for a non-meth JB4 car.

Hearing that high pitched squeal on the cobalt makes me think he had a boost leak. But it could just be turbo noise. Eitherway good run atleast you stayed ahead. Whats going on with those tips? Never seen them quite like that.

blackedout335i · 11-26-2011, 02:07 PM

ya the welder messed up installing them loll! he redueing it this week..
