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

[Circle9]

The 2010 Speed3 needs 275's!!

Okay everyone, I just got more information about this cobalt, a 50 shot was used in this run, there might have been more mods, but that is as far as I know so far.

I knew this cobalt couldn't do those times stock.

 

[Circle9]

Just came from lurking around the Cobalt forums, the normal SS's seem to run mid to high 14's stock, while the T/C's run low 14's.

One guy in their claims a 13.56 stock, but there seems to be confusion as to whether he was running 5 more lb's of boost or not. Seems to be a lot of people talking B.S. on there.

Cant we all agree that the MS3 is the bestess most wonderfulness car in all the world?

on this forum??? lol, everyone will be ripping into them for claiming they ran a time stock that is not possible, don't kid yourself.

I didn't start this thread to say anything bad about the cobalt, I might pick fun at it by saying the slowbalt, but I know that thing is fast, but from the few that I have seen, they perform almost exactly the same as my speed3, so it's so hard for me to believe that a cobalt can run 1/2 a sec. faster in the 1/4 mile than the speed3.

If someone posted a mazdaspeed3 video saying they ran 13.5s stock, I would be posting the same exact thread.

yeah they would be ripping into whoever made that claim because that is what the people on these forums seem to do for some reason. sometimes, it doesn't really matter what someone says, there always has to be someone stepping right behind them to rip it apart.

anyways, a good driver can make the difference in 2-3 tenths in a 1/4 mile and launch control with weather situations can make up for another 2-3 tenths. it isn't that hard to believe, most people just don't want to believe it.

This thread = MS3 fanboi thread. Com on guys teh SS is an excellent performer stock and modified, none of their motor mounts failed or threw a rod upping the boost. GM did a good job on this one.

except for the fanboy comment (i'm 40... i consider myself a 'fanman' ), i totally agree with you...

GM hadn't built a compact i cared to drive for a long time... that thing really is a bullet... faster than the speed i bet, at least in a straight line...it's the road-course times that i'm doubting... but, who the hell am i?....

it still felt like a rental on the inside, and made a few weird noises that didn't sound too pleasant... a clunk after i shifted and let the clutch out? honestly, it might have been something wrong that needed to be looked at..... bad mount or something. this was a kind of demo model with about 200 miles..... it looked a bit plain and indifferent, but a VERY fresh approach at GM. and much different than the cobalt SS of the last few years, IMO...the handling may be great, but it felt more disconnected to me... but the ride wasn't too bad...


i still chose the speed3 over the others, as i liked the refinement, fit and finish, good neautral balance, handling, and affordable fun factor... if the cobalt or some of the other contenders would have been priced more friendly, i might have re-considered... but as it is, after 5 days of MS3 driving, i think we made a good choice.... i go by feel with my cars. and this car feels good.

My post wasn't directed at you, but at the overall mentality displayed here.

 

[MSP2024]

damn i fail again

 

[my3needsaname]

haha, the MS's aren't the best car teh worldz. Teh MZ3's are teh bestest!! I can beat any SS, cobalt or impala! lolzerz.

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?

 

[my3needsaname]

Seriously, you have to keep in mind that when an MS3 and an SS both hit 155 and hit a pothole, you'll have a busted control arm in the Cobalt and maybe a misalignment in the Mazda. It doesn't matter how fast they go the only car that can actually give the Speeds a run for their money is an STI purely because us Americans can make them fast but can't keep them together.

Japanese on Japanese action FTW!

I really hope you arent serious....I dont care if your in a Mack....pothole at 150 can likely break any suspension part on any car.

DO you think you drive a M1 Abrams or what.

You kids kill me with your Abundance of Knowledge and the Fanboism you show daily.

 

[my3needsaname]

Obviously that's a bit of exaggeration, but you get my point. The MS3 and STI are the best built cars in their segment. The only GM's that I know of that are well built are Pontiacs and half of those come straight from Holden in Australia. Even though Holden is partially owned by GM, they're mostly on their own out there. Yes, there are other nicely built GM's but Chevys are not some of them.

I do have to be a fanboi of the cars that are built by the company I drive. Otherwise, I would've bought a Tacoma. TRD Sport FTW!

 

[latina4sho77]

naw.. that cant be true... ive raced a stock cobalt.. when i was stock and i got him by a car... they are pretty quick but not 13.5 stock....unless its a professional driver that can drive that car perfectly... which i doubt

Damn I love those trucks!
But take the TuRD sticker off?!!??! What are you insane!???!?!!?!? If I'm stuck up enough to drive the world's most perfect truck, I want people to know I'm no low-baller. lol jp, but I would never take off the TRD Sport sticker, it adds to the appeal of my favorite truck.(..and lets everybody know I'm no low-baller hehehe. (glare))

Speedway Blue FTW!

odds are, you would end up going home on a stretcher if you hit a pothole at 150.

furthermore, if you have the stand-alone that will eliminate the top end (140), odds are that you have a decent amount of money in your car and you would need to be slapped for taking that kind of car out to destroy it. others would enjoy the part-out though.
