550whp GT-R vs 557whp Procharged Vette vs S256et Cobalt

Saw this video over on the CobaltSS site
thought some of you who did not catch it would want to see it.
It appears to be on a closed Mexican highway of course.

Just thought some of you would be interested to see what a modified cobalt could do against these cars.

Lol some guy on the CSS forum said the 'Balt was the one on the other side of the 'Vette.. What an idiot..

That was an awesome video of what a 'Balt can do.. And if reading that it was only 256hp, then that 'Balt was not fully modded.. As many of them can reach over 300hp IIRC...

The S256et is a bigger than stock turbo
I am guessing that one was over 400hp

That does seem like a very valid question. I wouldn't have expected it to fade as much as it did. Maybe nobody told him they were racing.
