im making this as a reaction to the si VS ss thread, its not to prove any points, its just being added give a basis of judgement. this way peopel can decide what they think about the ss/sc baised off of truth and not "i know a guy who knew a guy that raced one" i would like to encourage other LSJ powerd vehicles to also post up some videos with info on the car, the track, and weather.
some things to know about the vids,
the track is orlando spin..uhr speed world. the track is like glass.
and its in FL. were theres high humidity even when its cold.and the track is at sea level
some things to know about the car:
2006 ss/sc ,GMPP stage 2 $550 (smaller pully 45.5lb injectors and GM tune) axle back flowmaster $120, and cut airbox with a k&N $60 ingalls stiffy $120(<--wasted) zzp solid mototr mounts $60 (best money spent next to stage 2 )
the first 2 vids are the best runs, it was winter about 65 degrees out and the track was preped for fundaysunday , and it was sticky for the first time. i didnt lanch on thies runs, becasue i didnt want to break anything ...again..
and excuse my fiancee, she just happy that i broke 100mph trap, i was getting pissed becasue i kept traping 99-98 the past few weeks.
this vid i love the most , i love watching that r32 dump the clutch at 6k and ripping off the line , the track.
cobalt ss vs ...ok getting handed by a r32 golf cobalt 14.2@101 with a 2.282 60' r32 13.09 @103 with a 1.629 60' (gotta love awd...) my lane says 19.2 becasue the bord was messed up.
cobalt ss with stage 2 vs sohc tubo civic cobalt 14.3 @ 102 with a 2.366 60"civic 14.7@97 with a 2.4260 "
and this is just to show how much the track sucks when its not preped
cobalt ss with gm stage2 runs 14.5@100mph , i had to lift twice to keep from wheelhopping and spinning (more)
and this is just to show what hot weather is like ,

cobalt ss vs evo with a bad driver.and be for you post, i know stage 2 cobalts should be in the hight 13s, but you need to rember that this is in FL in summer , it was in the 90s and the humidty was high enough to swim thro the air...
and just for shiggles ... me snaping an axle ...it was mostly my falt, i had just got the car , and have been trying to lanch like that all night , i didnt know that the wheelhop was that bad on this car. iv had noproblems since this happend tho...
