i hear all the time about the cobalts breaking left and right, these ones will probably be no different.

that's the direct injection injectors popping like hell. that motor's in the Solstice GXP and they sound very scary, too.

Theres no need to bust anyones balls.....unless they think a v-tec sticker adds 100+ hp lol Oh...I almost forgot...from a looks point of view the cobalts in any trim are fugly lol If I had to pick any 4cyl to drive it would be a neon srt 4 or if I had the money an Evo... most likely I'll never have either one cuz it wouldnt be nearly as much fun as a stang or any other muscle car in my opinion.

We ought to me up sometime and snap some pics. (and maybe run 'em a little bit.)

What made him a ricer?

Because he was driving a 4cyl fwd car? That makes him a ricer?

A LOT of my friends drive Cobalt SS's, and I can set you up to race more than a few that would embarrass you.

Yeah, Tony is a cool dude, and the car runs strong for being bone stock... 14.1 @ quaker... which should be a high 13 at prp no problem.

Just ran one of those subaru things that has a bed. I didnt think the kid was serious at the light didnt sound like no turbo car so i jumped on it and killed the thing. Course the ricer fly by after I slowed down was way cool.

Yes, I believe it was it. Shoulda seen the VW clan at walmart sat. nite after we came back from the car show. They were crackin on a mustang that left the store til we started loudly makeing fun of their fart cans.

**Jper** · 10-27-2008, 11:22 AM

I recently took down a new one..Those things turbo'd run way better imo than the older sc'd ones. I only won by about half a car if that, we both let off around 120ish. Started from a 10mph roll.

**flappy188** · 01-08-2009, 08:12 PM

was it maroon with facotry chrome five stars? if so i got beat by him in my stock 08 gf/cs, but he only got me by a fender

**MBH** · 01-08-2009, 09:34 PM

They pulled out the stops in the new turbo as IMO. He'll of a fwd car

That shouldnt have happened even stock but should never happen now that you have the tuner you got from Ed.
It doesnt take much to put the 3v cars into the 12's.
