A car has to have at least 800 HP to stand a chance against a litre bike.

well, this guy is on a 600, not a liter bike. But still, a car has to have alot of power to beat a 600 too.

Also, don't get caught up in HP numbers, there is alot more to it than that. Vehicle weight, gearing, aero it all plays a part, especially at higher speeds.

The power of the 600? lol...Squid.. More like the power to weight ratio of the 600.. espcially on a roll on race.

My 300whp Turbo Cobalt can beat a Corvette....(Non Z06)...so thats not saying a whole lot.

Good Job on the win. but a 600 isnt all that mean. theres a huge difference in power between the 600 to the 750....then some from 750 to 1000.

Be safe out there.

800 HP on an ass dyno or a real dyno?

I don't remember Cobalts ever coming with turbos. I mean, you can convert anything... but the cobalt Redline was supercharged right?

If your S2k is stock, no you can't.

seeing as parrallel twin 650's have a higher(slightly) power to weight ration than a vette, your 600 SHOULD have beatin that vette. good job on proving what everyone knew.

No it can't

LSJ or LNF?

Judging by the date, probably LSJ, if so what set up do you have?

And LS1 C5 corvettes don't count.

300whp in an LSJ Cobalt would be a little more believable becuase of the 4.05 final drive but it doesn't matter troll, stop lying about Cobalts and giving the people who actually do put that type of power down with theirs. Go troll ss.net or ss.com with that garbage.

C5's are cake.

Anything with an LS1 is.

And I know a few 400+whp Cobalts that will put a hurtin on Z06's.

By the date of this post I had my turbo SS.

They came stock with 260/260 compared to the supercharged SS's 205/200

Both were mildly under rated and put close to crank down to the wheels.

Your non VTEC LS motor is still probably faster than the LT1 stock for stock

A GM stage 2 supercharged should be a close race with a stock S2k.

A stock tuned turbocharged would murder a stock S2K.

It isn't all about drag racing.

I like to do more than bounce it off the rev limiter, sidestep the clutch then wonder why my clutch is dying after two or three drag races:rolleyes

Not defending Cobalts, or VTEC's.. but be careful not to generalize statements like your LT1 can beat ANY 4 banger/cobalt/vtec, etc etc etc. Quite a few guys with LT1's and LS1's made that mistake and lost money to me on the street. :punk Stock/Stock, sure, but there are a couple of people out there who don't like keeping their cars stock.

BTW, I also had an LT1 powered Trans Am. Nice car. I like fast cars PERIOD. So I am not hating on any of them. I just hate generalized statements like the above. I will prove my statements with a link to my old Eclipse running down Rockingham Dragway.

Thanks for your attention, and no matter what.. be safe out there.

Edit: Oh yeah, just to clarify the money on the street statement, we set up races at one location, and all drove to a marked off back road without traffic late at night. Got our race out of the way, and left. Not putting the public in danger. :) And they guys I hung out with were not the "rice crowd". Mustangs and Camaros that ran low 6's at our local 1/8th mile track. And yeah, a couple were quicker than that. :)

I love people with this mindset, and I love it even more when I show them the tail lights of my mazdaspeed 3 WAGON. People tend to go :wtf when the turbo spools :biggrin.

They can be made fast too. Any car can. Just remember, "There is ALWAYS someone out there faster than you". And YES, alot of them are 4 bangers.

04-12-2009, 12:34 PM
I know they can be made fast, and I've seen fast ones. You'll have to excuse my old school "American Muscle" way of thinking. I feel that if the car didn't come with a motor you can make it fast with, then it's not meant to be fast.
