Test Drove Cobalt SS, My Take Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I test drove a Cobalt SS today. I was debating with some people about the traction issues with higher powered fwd cars which lead to this. I wanted to drive an srt-4, but I couldn't find a Dodge dealership close enough. I figured the supercharged Cobalt would be okay. The guy told me it was underated at 213hp to the wheels. I don't know about underated, but I'd believe 213. I wasn't really impressed though. I've driven faster. But with the traction, I didn't have a problem. It was the model without the LSD too. I've still got to find a srt-4, which I think will have more issues because of higher hp. But really, I didn't have a problem at all keeping traction. But, it was a nice dry day, and it has Z rated Prelli's on it.

^Very cool. I would paint the intercooler black through. Big bright intercooler is a dead give-away that you've got something going on. Other than that, that car was pretty cool. I don't trust those speedoes to much, to easy to fake. The black Civic seemed to hook up nice. I bet it would be different if he had to turn. Maybe not though.

I'm pretty sure that civic wasn't a street car, so there's no need to try and make it look like a sleeper... the guy has a parachute on the back of it for crying out loud.

That thing could have been taken off very easily. And besides that, why would you have those wheels on the back if it wasn't a street car? You could say show car, but it didn't have any thing special to make it a show car. And I can't see if it's just a fake plate or what, but there is a plate on the back. I can't tell if it's licences though, but it could be.

i would bet that that civic is running a spool, going by how straight the car drove and no visual torque steer. if it does have a spool, its not streetable

also, have any of you seen a 10 second honda in person? they dont really like to idle. kinda takes away from the streetability. also its probably stripped down to the point where its pretty much an engine with four wheels.

my friend's 9 second turbo mustang has heater, power steering, power accessories and full interior. also a 4spd overdrive auto tranny. thats a street/streetable car.
