srtSSsvt121 Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Ok I am driving around trying to meet up with my friends when I see a silver Srt 4 gun it through the intersection. I went into the right lane to turn where he went to follow,( that was the way my friends were) And I weave through traffic and then notice I drove right past him. He must of seen me, because he jerked over into my lane and was right behind me. Eventually we get to a red light with cars in front of us and I said to one of my friends that is a girl." watch this, he will rev when he gets next to me." and sure enough he did. So i get next to him and reply. ITS ON So we get into the open and he keeps on flooring it past many times trying to get me to go from a roll, and I did once. He killed me there, but we got to a stop light and I reved a little so he knows i wanna go. The light turns green and I am gone, maybe 1-3 car lengths ahead, i couldn't tell, I had my mirrors in I could hear the blow off valve getting closer and closer, and at 70 mph he caught up to me then kept on going at a good pace, then i stopped anout 90. We got to another light and I rolled the window down and gave the thumb up. His windows were tinted so i couldnt see him. It was fun, and those are very quick little cars.

Dylan06SS Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 I've had a similar experience... fast little bastards... but they don't get off the line too quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast4popper Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 they are fast, low 14's stock and with SIMPLE upgrades you can be in the 13's with a warrenty. I want to take one for a ride and see how it feels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 I can't believe how fast those little things are. We have a 13.4 modded SRT4 and a 13.9 stock SRT4 at Mission. I wonder what the longevity of them will be? I actually kind of like the idea of a domestic car being able to go after the imports in the ricer arena, maybe more manufacturers will follow?

Dylan06SS Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 I don't think I'll ever get into the tuner thing... but its good to see that kids that are into that have an option to still buy an American vehicle Dodge pretty much set the standard w/ the SRT-4 as far as I'm concerned. The SVT-focus never seemed to have the same popularity... I can't wait to see what the Cobalt SS will do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 How fast are those Cobalts supposed to be? Is it based on the Cavalier? Is that chamelion paint or something??! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srtSSsvt121 Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 I would like to see the power gains with a bigger pully on the supercharger, for the Cobalt SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1QUICKBOLT Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 The ecotech motor in the new cobalt is a very stout motor. It definently has a lot of potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any new car with a 4 cylinder that runs 14 second 1/4s or better isn't something to laugh at, IMO !! The ecotech is used in high horsepower applications already, the basic engine is a great platform.

Dylan06SS Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Is it based on the Cavalier? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not based on the Cavalier... whole new platform. Not a bad lookin' car if you ask me. I'm looking into getting the non SS version for the wife when her car is paid off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xero Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 the stock internals of an srt-4 is around 500 hp. which i think is amazing. the ONLY down fall to uping the boost to 20psi letsa say....the 1/2 shafts cant hold that much power and break. but other than a turbo upgrade you can make that car go to 500 hp on a totally stock motor. its quite amazing how well this cars engine was engineered. i was goign to get one before i got my truck. but to "cut down" on costs dodeg made the fornt windows power and the rear crank. the only other thing i dont like its the viper racing seats make my nuts cramp together and i dont think i could do more than a 20 min. drive. not to mention the fact that i had less than a finger till my head hit the roof and im 6 foot. transmission is like a civic, very easy to drive. a dog off the line tho.....ive driven one a few times very very well build car. my over all impression is that in many respect i would compare this car to an S2000 VERY small VERY fast at high rpm's but at lower ones kinda sucky nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xero Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 forgot to mention. during hot import nights i was able to dirve one of the ion relines (basicly the same as the cobalt ss) and it was a very nice ride. very tame in the corners. kind of a weird tranny tho, you wont start thinking about moving untill 3K. hardly any go at low rpms but the thing came alive alil after 2600ish. very comfortable interior only thing i didnt like was the gauges were in the center not behind the wheel. other than that it was top notch. i would highly recommend test driving the upcomming ss cobalt. youll be very suprised at how it hauls/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 (edited) I dont know about you guys but chevy is DUMB, how can you advertise your falgship with the ricer? The C6 in the same color? does it make you sick that they are so cute being the same color? Next there will be the ad w/ the colorado SS vs the SSS...who is the top dog? I bought the SS to be the top not so that I could have my truck used to sell less expensive versions of a super truck. And the colbalt does not deserve to be on the same TV screen with the C6...Sorry about the rant, just cant figure out how they do that, degrading their own to sell Cavilers(sp?) and Coladerados (sp?), whn ethey have the C6 Zo6 car and the SSS and ford does not have anything and dodge...well that is a different thread... but we can not have the SC SSS like they teased us with or the reg cab (Zippy has asked too many times ) or a trans to hold up to our power...
