That must be modded, a lot. I raced one of those Spec-V's about 2 weeks ago and murdered that thing. I figured it wasn't even worth talking about till now. My old Neon R/T would have taken that thing! This Spec-V had an intake, header, and exhaust. I find it hard to believe that a near stock Spec-V would have a chance unless it is boosted or running nitros.

not really within the next few weeks my friend is going to take over payments for my spec-v and im getting an srt-4 :cool: so if you get the ss yes i'll rape you, and if you get the cobra, well lets face it you can make the srt-4 be as fast but i would never compare it to the cobra that is a beautiful car if you get the cobra i will envy you :mad: , beacause i can only wish to have that car. and about your svt if by perfect you mean slow, than yes your car is perfect :D

Possible if the driver sucks at life and can't run under a 17 s quarter.

Maybe not that slow, but a competent driver in a stock SS could easily beat a stock spec-V.

it didnt go through with the srt-4 my friend backed down and the neon needed to pass az inspections, and the car was in ohio so i just said forget it. i wil only trade my car now is if the new turbo nissan comes out 225hp 2.0l engine. and i figure if my car can run a low 14 fully bolted . thats pretty good for a 4 cylinder n/a that has basically no aftermarket support

spec-v looked at a new one once at a delaership but didnt like the fact that if you kicked the tire would probly fall apart damn what crap those are and that modded spec-v can only win that much with a bad driver in the SS running low 15's. Ya your right you should be happy you won... sorta

My friend raced the same black SS With his stock Specv and was beat by about 3 cars. stock for stock the SS is faster in the qtr mile...Stock for stock the specV is a better handler and faster threw corners...The specV is not made for dragracing. (nor is any stock car realy).I took mine racing that day cause my friends went out to watch our friends 350Z run...I Autox mostly, drag is fun when you get a new mod..LOL

Actually a mid 14 is in the middle of 15.0 to 14.0, hence the word mid.

Remember Elevation is @ 3000FT
So the formula is 15.1 X .97=14.65et Altitude correction.
and the SS only had exhaust and air filter...per motor trend thay claim a 14.7or 14.8 ...so thats not too bad.

A 2nd gen neon r/t is good for mid 15s... My sxt stock ran a 16.1

Without a little nitrous or slicks, I have trouble believing that a bolt-on spec-v is running 14.3s at 3k elevation... unless you consider things like cams or tune a bolt-on

Other than that, nice race :)

I hope your kidding... The spec v isnt at all even close to as good of a handling car as an SS. I know a kid with one and its as rice as it gets and there is nothing it can do as good or better than the SS. She only beat him by 3 car lengths damn she must have sucked at driving.

yeah I guess it took the acr an extra $1195 and upgrades to wheels and tires, upgraded shocks and swaybars to beat a ss ..dont really know if thats anything to brag about ...not really my point either

Yet it's still cheaper than the SS...

Nice one, but I'm not your mother
Definately

Not for anything, but I've been pro SS so far asshat, because Spec Vs suck.

well I have cleared up the handling issues with the Motortend article...both the srt and the spec v have been tested in the last 3 years so that argument is out

Its almost a universal fact that the Cobalt is better looking than the neon ...even most srt 4 owners will get past their own bias and realize that Picasso was not meant to design cars ...

as for refinement ..you would be joking yourself if you thought the srt was more refined ..its built of an old platform ...things like liquid filled engine and transmission mounts make out car more refined ..not to mention the superior interior quality . Every review of the car has stated this

And a mom joke ..that’s really going to take me a while to get over …

Universal fact that the Cobalt is better looking? Please. If I wanted the "look" your SS has, I'd go buy a 95 Cavalier.

Refinement? I don't have stock mounts, I have solid mounts, so that's out the window too. Superior interior quality, BS my interior wasn't racing. In any case, if I wanted a slow car with a nice interior, I would go buy a Cadillac, not a "performance" sport compact.

Relax though, I like the new Cobalts, they are starting to grow on me, like a little domestic brother. But like a little brother, if he ever tried to 1-up me, I would just have to bitch slap him back in line to make him realize what's up.

base srt 4 (non acr 21,445 )
base ss (21,995.00)

its clear that simple addition is not your forte

but 21,445 + 1195 = 22, 640 > 21, 995

the cobalt dosnet really look anything like a Cavalier but you knwo what looks a lot like a neon ....(i know your thinking steaming dog shit) ...but its the srt 4 ..kinda the same thing though

so you had to upgrade your car to get it as refined ..that dosent count so thats out ...(its like me saying I have a nav system so saying my car is more advanced were talking stock vs stock not who can throw the most at their car)

Upgrade my car? No, but eventually when you mom lets you buy shit for your Cobalt you will invest in motor mounts to reduce wheel hop. So wow, it's slightly better than mine stock, yet you need to replace it anyhow.

One letter to Motor Trend that demonstrates their "made-up" numbers.

"You listed the quarter mile for the Cobalt at 14.4 seconds yet your 0-100 test shows 15.4. Since the trap speed was just seven-tenths shy of 100 mph, that makes one of those times inaccurate, to say the least. You also have the 0-to-100-mph time for the SRT4 listed at 13.8 seconds, yet the quarter mile at 14.4 seconds at 100 mph. What's going on here? If you compare test data with the quarter-mile times, nothing adds up. Could you please clear this up for me?

Robert, Iowa

We apply a weather correction to all our numbers, so you can compare the numbers generated on different days and in different places. Quarter-mile times and speeds are corrected using actual experimental results obtained in environmental test cells. Then the acceleration times are corrected with a math formula based on those correction factors. Rarely, when the trap speed corrects to an even 10-mile increment, an anomaly occurs, which we manually adjust. We missed that step in this case. The ET trumps the 100-mph time.

- Ed. "

As for the 1/4-mile run of the SRT-4, I find it hard to believe that it takes that car 0.6sec to go an extra 0.8mph unless your trying to make it look slower then it actually is?

With that being said I will no longer be purchasing your magazines from the stores, also I will be calling close friends and family to halt there purchase/subscription to this tainted magazine.

I doubt the weather had very little if any effect on this outcome, as compared to the money GM provided for this outcome.

Not that I use a magazine to compare what car is better in the real world, I do prefer magazines that will state the facts to their truest form without altering or misrepresenting the fact in someone else's favor

What exactly do you have a problem with. That the numbers are not identical to every other SRT we have tested. Or that the car you like, the SRT, lost.
In no way did anyone pay to be named a winner. A statement like that only shows your true intelligence level.

It is more expensive and I could afford it, but I don't like wasting money.

I could beat you with a stock car in anything, I think it's funny you think otherwise.

If you didn't say you couldn't throw money at it, then why don't you? Otherwise you admit your slower then me, so don't talk.

One letter to Motor Trend that demonstrates their "made-up" numbers.

"You listed the quarter mile for the Cobalt at 14.4 seconds yet your 0-100 test shows 15.4. Since the trap speed was just seven-tenths shy of 100 mph, that makes one of those times inaccurate, to say the least. You also have the 0-to-100-mph time for the SRT4 listed at 13.8 seconds, yet the quarter mile at 14.4 seconds at 100 mph. What's going on here? If you compare test data with the quarter-mile times, nothing adds up. Could you please clear this up for me?

Robert, Iowa

We apply a weather correction to all our numbers, so you can compare the numbers generated on different days and in different places. Quarter-mile times and speeds are corrected using actual experimental results obtained in environmental test cells. Then the acceleration times are corrected with a math formula based on those correction factors. Rarely, when the trap speed corrects to an even 10-mile increment, an anomaly occurs, which we manually adjust. We missed that step in this case. The ET trumps the 100-mph time.

- Ed. "

translation: its ok to buy a cobalt if you dont care about performance.


yeah those extra fractions of seconds make the difference between zero performance and the holy grail of performance srt

I'm with myfault with this one.

Only 1 thing matters on the street or the track. Who wins the race.

you don't win races with nice interior, fancy bodykit, woodgrain interior.


and since you obviously spend all your time racing ...the other aspects of a car dont even matter to you ....

also show me some ss/sc cobalts with woodgrain

cobalt owners arent using it as an excuse to make up for being slower ..it seems that srt oweners cant argue that their car is better in any other way except straight line ...evey time I bring up a point your agument agaisnt it is ...well mine beats yours by this fraction of a second ..its absolute shit if you think thats the only aspect of a cars worth

Actually SRTs are faster in a straight line, in the cones, and on a roadcourse.

Bottom line is man made car to go from point A to point B faster than walking on foot. An SRT4 gets from point A to point B faster than an SS due to it's higher performance, therefore the SRT4 > SS.

Like myfault said, you better be comfortable in your nice interior while you get ass raped over, and over, and over, and over again.

I think we allready went over the fact that the cobalt was better through the cones ..I provided evidence ..you came back with ...MY Neon IS FAST in the one dimentional way. thats why you find the only sutable function of your car to race people in a line.

You claim that I'm only faster in a straight line yet I have raced my car and you haven't raced yours. Your just another magazine ricer, you know nothing of what your car is capable of.
