cant the mustang v6 2005 to 2008 beat a cobalt ss sc? both stock cars?

if the rating on the cobalt ss s/c is 205hp/200tq, then i would say, NO. but then again, a crappy driver can change all that. how heavy is the cobalt? that may also play an important factor.

The Cobalt will edge you out. With a couple bolt ons it'd be closer, but if the driver of the Cobalt SS/SC is good he can run a mid-low 14.

well there is no such thing as a 2008 cobalt ss/sc so yes LOL... but in all seriousness, they usually run mid 14-high 14's stock, some see low 14's. Get an intake/tuner combo and maybe some more bolt ons and it will be close. Stock it should go to the ss with a capable driver.

Mid 14's, I don't think so, I've seen usuallylow 15's, high 14's rare. With a simple CAI/tune, u got em though. And if he's not that good of a driver u should have him stock!

Where is IWHINE when you need him. He'llbust out his 15 second time slips and he ain't stock.

looks like the weight of the two cars is the main factor. the cobalt is considerably lighter, therefore maybe a bit quicker.

my buddy raced one he has a 2005 V6- he raced a superchargerd 06 cobalt- it pulled quite well on him but i think he said he had something done to it at the factory- what would they be able to do?

cobalt ss sc's have been seen hitting low-mid 14s. it's not a common occurance and isn't consistant.

sorry i forgot you knew everything. In reality, those lsj's make about the power to the wheels that we make to the crank. They underrated that sob alot. Torque we have them considerably, but look at it this way-

ss/sc = 210ish fwhp car with high 100's in torque to low 200's, 4.05 final drive, 2990 lbs i believe.

4.0 = 180ish rwhp 210ish rwtq 3.31 final drive weighing in around 3350. Now which one do you think should be faster stock?

They trap in the high 90's. It's a VERY hard car to drive, which is why i said, "with a capable driver" but the fact of the matter is with the right driver they will go low 14's, but even usually a good driver will run mid 14's. From a roll they will walk 4.0's easily and from a dig they will start to pull away after 60-70. My advice = locker, 3.73's/4.1's, CAI/TUNE and you got a REALLY close race in the 1/4. Keep in mind guy that said iwhine was running 15's...wasn't he trapping like 107-108? he can't launch for **** (no offense) but that car is capable of mid 13's on the stock rubber with a great driver.
