good question rc...coz i'm pretty sure those new SS cobalts aren't exactly slow. unless it was a base model with a supercharger...then i'd understand.
but hey, today on a closed course that looked alot like I-15 I walked a hooked up RSX type S from 70, like he was standing still. I just love looking at peoples faces when they have that "Did I just get beat by a Saab?" look.:cheesy:
yeah the " holy **** thats a saab" look is great, that car has the Cobalt addictions stage 4 setup it includes injectors, ecu, pully, belt and the car also has a 2.5 down pipe
Ive got, a 99 9-3, with, Front Mount intercooler, hardpipes,2.5 exhaust with a 3in downpipe, manual boost controller, koni springs, kyb gr2 shocks, oil catch can, TSW wheels, ported TB, Viggen Clutch kit , intake, Prolly alot of other stuff ive forgotten

So far, here's the cars that are scratched of my to-do list : 2007 BMW 330i Sedan (20-100 mph) 1999 BMW E36 M3 - Intake, lowered, exhaust - 2 pulls - (30-100) 2002 VW GTI VR6 - exhaust, intake - 1 pull - (30-100) 2008 Subaru STI - stock, brand new - 4 pulls - (55-110) - walked him every time! 2006 Acura RSX-S - stock - 2 pulls - (45-90) - not really a fair comparison
I got the "holy crap. I just got slapped by a Saab" look each time, :cheesy:

Cars than have run/raped me list: :evil: -2003 Dodge Neon SRT-4 - "Stage3+", No LSD - (45-100) - His tires were spinning up till 75mph, lol
:evil: -2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4 - Stage2, W/LSD - (30-80) - "Bye bye, Saab" :evil: -2003 Mustang Mach 1 - Some Tune, X-pipes, K&N Intake, Borla exhaust - (60-110) - It's my brothers car. I expected it.
Most time I have a feeling to show somebody the power of Saab is a night time and only on a highway when there are almost no cars. I have already passed '97-'99 eclipse, ~2003 wrx/sti and few others which at least looked and sounded modificated. NONE of them wanted to race me, even though I was spitting my BOV sound on them, they were still steady.
I guess i'm not lucky ;/
