Slowbalt SS trying to claim he's running 13.5's stock...

[GoFast]

regardless, to say that the governor is set at 152 is wrong just like saying it was set to 140 is wrong. the governor is being told to engage at 155 whether the speedo says that is completely irrelevant.

Bllah..blah blah..WTH were we originally talking about?

At this point in time this thread has run its course and I think its time to kill it.

alright, you are right whether or not any of the facts prove it.

quite true. on the positive side though, atleast the ms3 vs cobalt ss debate ended(usa)

 

[lil_red_wagon]

no, i am afraid it hasn't. this debate will never end. this is only one of the two threads about this right now. this one has been going on for about a week and it is up to 9 pages already. it will probably go on for 10-12 pages before another thread saying exactly the same thing will pop up.

i do suppose you are correct. but what the heck, its an ms3 forum of course we are going to debate the differences between our cars and others. the difference between a good debate(r) and a bad one(s) is knowing that the ms3 isnt the greatest car since sliced bread and there will be better and faster cars out there

 

[my3needsaname]

This is some of the most ignorant rubbish I've ever read on this forum. Ignorance has no bounds.

FWIW, I drive the MS3 and have driven mostly Japanese cars.

Well maybe but honestly, have you ever heard of an American made car lasting longer than an import?
Japanese cars just last longer, are built better, and usually have less damage caused when doing stupid s*** at high speed since in Japan the people just drive and drive stupidly part of the time.
I don't give a damn what you think because what you think about me is wrong.
Besides that this is a forum where Japanese cars RULE it. MS3's, Evo's, STI's, what the hell do you expect from it?

 

[Alexsered]

Alexsered, stop claiming you know this car did not run the time in the video. just stop. it's apparent that you know nothing. jealousy is a b****. who cares if it ran a 13.5 or not anyway? why does it bother you so much?

Zim, get your head out of your ass, I already found out this guy in the video was running a 50 shot, and now on the SS forums it seems as though this guy was also running 5 more lbs of boost.

And it bothers me because people post crap like this an slower people like you actually believe it. Have to protect the people that ride the short bus.

1,000,000 mile chevy

Well, that is a truck and a siverado to beat. You can't get any more bang for your buck in an engine than a Ford truck or Chevy Silverado...or a Volvo but that's a different boat.
But I'm talking about their cars, they've been making trucks for at least 90 years but their cars haven't been around nearly as long so they aren't built as strong.
I guess what I meant to say was have you ever heard of an American car lasting longer than an import car?

Sorry but if that car had a 50 shot and 5 more pounds of boost he would be trapping higher than that for sure. My cobalt trapped 99mph stock..

now you are just making excuses (hand) truck or not its a chevy that has outlasted maaaaany import cars. on top of that, a could almost promise you that truck works harder than many of the import cars that have blown up with less than a million miles on it.

I am not sure about the 5 lbs, but a 50 shot was used. I think with a normal driver, a 50 shot and 5lbs+ boost is reasonable to think a 13.5s time and 104 trap. It would be around 300whp and we see that with people in the mazdaspeed3's.

Of course I am!!! Trust me I know that truck works harder than ANY import car. I drive an Expedition on the off days and that thing works harder than my MZ3 EVER will or can.
It's just that I've grown up with the view that imports run better and last than most American vehicles in the car department. (except I will NEVER EVER give ANY credit to a prius. Those are crap and pollute more than the 5.4L V8 I got in the driveway, I don't give a damn what people say.)

 

[GoFast]

oh trust me i understand your thinking i am just playing devils advocate here a bit. I don't necessarily agree with it because i truly think longevity is on a case by case basis and there are too many variables to put a blanket statement out there claiming imports run longer than domestics.

It is sort of like saying imports get better gas mileage than domestics. is it true? not completely. chevy does have more cars getting over 30mpgs than any other car maker.

 

[zim]

I trapped 104 with CS inserts, so what? it's all about the track prep, temp, elevation, and most importantly, a good driver.

 

[clos561]

did u guys click the link i posted? is that the same ss or what? same color, but it ran 13.6 trapped 104 stock

 

[mdl247]

i actually believe it!! they have the ms3 bone stock clockin at 13.9's i saw but the new cobalt ss has had their s*** revamped literally. they went from a super charger to a turbo and when i read up on it in 07 when they said they were gonna make the change to turbo instead of super charger it was gonna be faster than the ms3 and the specs that they had at the time seemed true so i actually do believe that it is stock although i wouldn't like to simply the up they ante and did it i would say

It does depend on the car, day it was made, how close to perfect the people cared to make it, how precise the equipment was working that day, etc. etc...
In most cases I have seen imports do better in the long run than domestics.

But the question is, do you want to drive any of Chevy's cars that get over 30MPG???
I wouldn't mind driving a 4 bangin' 2-door Accord ever day but a 4 bangin' Malibu or Aveo...you might have to pay me to take that off the lot. Then again, that's just how I feel about them. I did drive by a Chevy dealer the other day...$18K off a brand new already lifted Silverado quad cab, dunno the price but $18K off just for looking at it sounds like a good deal to me.
