nxtnlne Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Nice run Art. You would have smashed him from a dig.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Can you beat him at the track? Cobalt times On the street it'll even be hard to beat him off the line. If he'd have spooled it a bit before your third beep he'd have stuck right with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSPOSSE Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 i would take one of those cobalt SS's as a second vehicle any day.. they are some snappy little bastards.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nxtnlne Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) On the street it'll even be hard to beat him off the line. If he'd have spooled it a bit before your third beep he'd have stuck right with you. Our Saab comes with the 2nd gen Turbo Ecotech stock with 210 hp 221tq @ 12.5lbs boost and fry's the front tires if I try to launch it. I could imagine how much faster the cobalt is with the extra 50hp and 40tq I bet he has to drop the clutch around 2-2500 rpms or he frys 1st. More likely then not if you can hook you''ll get him of the line. BTW the Saab from a 30 roll gets my truck every time... As far as spooled it up a bit zippy what did you mean? Double clutch or Ride the clutch? Explain please Edited October 12, 2008 by nxtnlne (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double clutch or Ride the clutch? Explain please he is talking about loading the engine so the turbo can spool by applying the brake with enough force to build boost, its common for the turbo guys to do it but then some of them dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nxtnlne Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) EDIT: Tried to load up the boost in second gear around 30mph today and no luck. Boost fell right off as soon as I stepped on the break. My cars ecm wont allow it..How does the cobalt respond with this ART?
