I call BS on this, Cobalt SS vs. STi Options

[darksecret]

Now I have ran a modded SS and they're quick but not STi quick they're more like RSX-S quick.

no way...def. b/s

[vangSTa_celica]

Um. Yeah, thats obviously total BS. Plus, I don't really think that was an STi either.

"This is totally going on the internet."

Ghey.

[darksecret]

Yeah the guy was a little too excited. Maybe they just decided to say it was an STi but since they couldn't catch up they couldn't find out for sure.

Probably a "regular" WRX, and not racing.. No way that was an STi.. I'm not sure on the Cobalt SS numbers, but an STi is about 240 bhp in US.. And 260 Euro/JDM.. The WRX is still 200+ bhp.

205-hp 2.0L ECOTEC Supercharged DOHC for the cobalt

*sniff* *sniff*, i dont remember living by a farm..how come i smell bs? Cobalts arent fast what so ever. I test drove a SS, it was pretty quick, but wasnt fast. my buddy gets his bro's STI when he goes 2 Japan, he let me take it for a drive and wooooo. That subie in the vid was probably just a stocker and the retard in the cobalt was probably trying his hardest and pushin the sh*t right out of that ecotec

try 300hp for the STI and 227hp for the WRX

cobalt SS + 4 people = slow ass car

cobalt SS vs stock WRX = good race from a roll

cobalt SS vs STI = no contest

cobalt SS vs my "regular" WRX from a dig or a roll = all out slaughter

turbo + AWD + mods = no waiting

Thanks for clearing that out It only proves my point further though.

[Consynx]

you always forget the US numbers

yea...i saw that vid, guy's a retards.
they claim sti w/o reason
no spoiler so try to pick out the wheels or SOMETHING...come'on

[shin]

it wasn't a STI.... well. at least it doesn't.. might just be a wrx impreza turbo trim that's all.

[Consynx]

watch, it's a 2.5RS
j/k

[Supersprynt]

Those Cobalt SSs can run a 14.5 with a good driver.

STIs run low 13s.

[95gtschick]

yeah the sti's have 300hp... but that didn't look like an sti

Why's everyone calling BS? For one thing, they weren't racing. The cobalt just pulled up behind the car with a video camera, and then the Subaru floored it and smoked him, which is what I would expect to happen. Look how slow the scenery is passing by, I highly doubt they even hit 85. I've driven past a ferrari on the interstate before but I will never claim I beat it in a race.

[darksecret]

Dude you didn't hear that SS bark second, plus 85 mph isn't that fast, check my video out i'm doing 100 mph and the background isn't moving that fast.

It's got to be just a regular WRX, the RS is way to slow a Cobalt SS would destroy one.

Even with 4 people in it? And from a roll..?

Not that the Subaru is racing or anything (doesn't look like it atleast).

[Consynx]

Yeah an SS could beat an RS with 4 people in it from a roll, a stop, or probably starting in second gear from a stop, the WRX and STi are awesome but the RS is just slow. I have seen wingless wonders before but either that was an STi that was probably in 5th or 6th, or a WRX which that would be fully believable, the SS is about as quick as a WRX but nothing more.
