06 Cobalt LT vs 89 Camaro RS
my friends swears he could beat me in a race in his I4 06 Cobalt LT L61 against my V8 89 Camaro RS TBI. I honestly dont think he could, other than his acceleration might be better. But before we go out and illegaly do this, I want to show him what the community thinks.
thanks.
thanks.

Re: 06 Cobalt LT vs 89 Camaro RS
Well if your car is running good with a new tune up and stuff this yes you will win. He has 145 hp and 155 of torque. Now if i was you race from a dead stop and beat his little peice of s.h.i.t i hate them cars! Everyone that has one thinks their cool and very fast! I hate them they are SLOW!

Re: 06 Cobalt LT vs 89 Camaro RS
we are missing some important info here.
What transmissions they have will play a determining factor.
So fill us in
(but yeah alot of Cobalt owners are way to hopefull about the cars acceleration)

Re: 06 Cobalt LT vs 89 Camaro RS
Rob Rob Rob ur a funny one. Everybody I am the Owner of this 06 Cobalt LT. We both have Automatic Transimitions. I NEVER said i would beat him i said i would beat him at the start lol. If its a short race yeah ill beat him long race idk he will prolly beat me but i can accelerate through the gears faster than he can. We both top out at around the same speed i think soo yeah

Re: 06 Cobalt LT vs 89 Camaro RS
Ok just woundering how do you think you will beat him off the line? He has got more hp than you and a heck off alot more torque 100 more in fact!
If you had a chance in the world it would be at higher speeds.

Re: 06 Cobalt LT vs 89 Camaro RS
I4, 305TBI, etc etc etc.
there is one nice thing about those low HP engines. I4, 305TBI, etc etc etc i mean. That is that they don't have to worry about traction off the line

Just for reference--my 07 automatic 2.4L VS my old 88 TBI IROC--both autos--both bone stock
17.0 IROC VS 16.9 for the 2.4L Cobalt.
Times are at 5000 DA!

Dear Everyone Who Responded to This Forum,
Tomorrow this race is going down, and we will be dumb enough to film it. blurred plates, names, faces, and such of coarse. hate the idea if you want, but hey, should be interesting to see reactions.
Till tomorrow.

Re: 06 Cobalt LT vs 89 Camaro RS
I am going to say the Cobalt will win. We had an 05 Cobalt LT 4dr auto and it gave my Formula a run for it's money.
We now have an 07 Cobalt SS 4dr Auto (non supercharged) and it's pretty quick.

Re: 06 Cobalt LT vs 89 Camaro RS
I'm pretty sure that hes going to have no problem at the start! I'd say the camaro will beat it to 60 at least.

I never said this wouldn't be a very close race, but i do think that the RS won (because the race should be over now)

Re: 06 Cobalt LT vs 89 Camaro RS
Wow i just raced the kid down the street like 20 mins ago and i beat him. he has a LT with 5 speed. We raced from dead stop to like 70. I mean i got a little done to my car but not a hole lot. So is your RS in good running shape? Dose it have a hole lot of miles or something idk how your lost.

Re: 06 Cobalt LT vs 89 Camaro RS
umm the only thing i can think of why u beat him is cuz the 5 speed manual cant change gears as fast as the auto can the auto has a like less that 1 second gear switch

Re: 06 Cobalt LT vs 89 Camaro RS
I'v known the kid for a long time and hes had the car for 2 years and i would say he would be decent at swithcing gears he even said he tryed to keep up. I got him by like 2 full size suv's. But i guess the work i did do helped me some.
