trambow · #1 (**permalink**) 04-09-09, 11:29 AM

Well I'm getting really excited to get the new maggie V, but I have a buddy with a colbalt ss stage 4 pushing around 350 to the crank(so he says). He said he will wax me any day of the week. I am not one to talk big but I think I could have taken him with my old V. We never got a chance to run them.

1.I just wanted to know what kind of experiences you guys have had against other cars?

2.What have you won or lost to?

3.your mods?

I want to know if he is gunna blow me away and I will be left there with my foot in my mouth looking dumn.

Those Cobalts are deadly. But out in the open, a maggied V will take it fairly easily...

One thing you must remember: Not on the street.

Now - you have to consider all aspects, weight, launch, driver experience, road conditions and others. That said - here is my list of Kills.

E55 AMG
M3s, but not M6 (lost that one - I wish I see him again)
EVO - Heavily moded
C6 Z06
GTO
SRT-4 and 8

Is it a turbo cobalt or a blower cobalt? I dont know if the two handle the same but turbo car was in a road and track or something like that and waxed a lot of cars on the track. If its a twisty road he may have a hard time putting that much power to the ground being FWD. If you are on a straight road, even if he pulls in the 1/8th mile, I think the V would walk past him.

With just headers no cats and crane gold roller rockers I raced a C5 Z06 and we were dead even from 60 to 130 were he got out of it. Well actually I pulled out about a car, he reeled me in about 3/4 of a car and we just hung there.

I must be the worst driver ever because I lose to everything....

Dont forget to turn traction control off. It will kill every shift if you dont.

When I was stock I went two rounds with a modded SS Camaro. Fist run was unexpected and I didnt even think to kill the TC. He beat me. Every shift the TC would engaged and he pull a little more every time. Second run turned out more to my liking with the TC off. We went from a dig and I pulled half a car out of the whole and just kept pushing him back.

I believe it's a 2005 or 2006 so it would be the supercharged one. With my 04 v I took down a STI, Charger, and a modded srt4.

Yeah I learned the traction control thing to just like you. I had a friend of mines VW jetta modded with aroud 275 whp and was running an old 80's camaro and couldn't figure out why he was taking me he only had a stock 350. Looked down on my way home T/C was on the whole time and would kill the turbo as soon as it started spinning. Felt like a dumb a$$. Met up with a newer camaro with ls1 and hit T/C and blew him away. That was the fastest jetta I have ever seen.

Don't those Cobalts run like 5.2 sec 0-60 stock? Don't know what "Stage 4" entails (uppipe, downpipe, bigger turbo, etc ?), but with a maggie, you should be able to out accelerate him ... at least, I'd think so.

Try to make sure you go from a roll. This would be a lot easier on your diff..
2nd from 20 or 3rd from 55 or so.

They can be pretty fast...

This is footage of the popular 09 turbo Cobalt. It only has a flash & put down 285whp 330trq on a dynojet

I sure am glad you guys aren't talking about street racing otherwise I would have to delete this thread.

Yeah Idk what the stage 4 entails either he hasn't let me see under the hood yet. I am hopping the maggie will be able to chase him down. Yeah I plan on doing only rolling races with the new one. No more digs for me. I checked on a new rear diff from a dealership by me and they said it was the same part number for 04-07 is this true? They price quoted me at $2,700 for labor and install.

I don't think the S/C one was that fast...
