Cobalt SS vs Civic SI

07 Cobalt SS Supercharged vs 07 Civic SI

I ran today on a track. I could tell you this, both cars are nice. I drove the Civic SI. Mods are TB spacer and gaskets, Fujita SRI, TB coolant bypass. I must admit, the Colbalt outran me in every aspect of racing; Drag, Track, Top End. My 07 SI was put to shame.

Can anyone actually keep up with a Cobalt SS Supercharged and with what mods?

PS - Just thought I'd let you know, I still like my Honda better :)

ss supercharged? reflash does help alot.

iknowmysh1t · 08-31-2007, 06:46 AM

you guys do know that not all cobalt ss' are supercharged right?

Civic06SiR · 08-31-2007, 07:29 AM

I can beat cobalts off the line. I've gone up against a few of them. I have AEM CAI / DCRH / Hondata Reflash / Apexi WS2 exhaust and sticky tires. Yes, I do know that cobalts are supercharged, that's what makes it more fun. All motor baby!

I have raced a few. One was stock and he got me by a tenth, he ran a 14.8 to my 14.9 and ran another one with a smaller pulley and he beat me by 2 tenths. His best time over all is like a 14.76, his tires were complete crap, since then i have beat his time with a 14.73 on stock all seasons. It has never been less than 90 degrees when we have raced. Tonight I am going to the track and I'm sure a bunch of them will be there and I will try again.

I'm going to ask.. Was he just burning through most of first?

***nbilyue*** · 08-31-2007, 01:52 PM

I have never seen one that doesn't just burn through most of first. He still had a decent 60' like a 2.3 or so to my 2.2. The surface on the the track we run at is about the same high quality as an abandoned parking lot.

lol. That's no good man.

Anyways, ss/sc's are actually really impressive if the driver actually can handle all the power at launch that goes along with a supercharged fwd car. I don't know if sheek still posts here or not, but I remember him talking about a tune that cut boost in first gear so that people could actually launch decently and the numbers went up drastically because of that.

Anything visually that cues you to whether a SS is supercharged or not? I see a few every now and then and wonder.

sinirgi · 08-31-2007, 03:34 PM

the larger whale tail spoiler on the trunk indicates a supercharged SS as opposed the spoiler that is much closer to the trunk lid is the 2.4 SS.

The supercharged cobalt SS does say "supercharged" right on the back of the car...

SpeedDemon · 08-31-2007, 09:30 PM
