Yeah, but as I tell everyone my SS is my DD.

The 5 spd awd turbo van I have turbo'd with built forged internals is the car I'm prepping for weekend duty, AWD is great for 1/8th mile tracks.

Thing only weighs in at 3k lbs, same as a Cobalt SS/TC but its AWD.

 

Prove it I don't think driving a turbo for an hour+ would be boring. What could be more fun than beating the ***** out of your car, then slamming a hamburger and beer on the way home?

Traction with high power fwd is not easy with street tires. I am having trouble surpassing 5.3-.4 right now with street tread, but it pulls like crazy when I have grip.


I still have to get to the track with my SC 2.4l(in the next few weeks, hopefully when its not 95 frickin degrees w/95% humidity), but I still don't think I could beat a TC/SS-modded/tuned. I would be happy to race one though...

 

BTW...AWD turbo van. Yeah...sweet

 

can u drive??? i blasted a sc cobalt when my car just had a hahn tune. he was stage 2. sorry to seem like an ass,but NOWAY should a hhr ss lose to a sc cobalt...unless the sc has nitrous...i'm on youtube going up againt another HIGHLY modded sc. the second run he sprayed me. my car had hahn tune only back then.

 

i'm sure crazysteve is there. remember,he went 13.1 a couple of years ago.

 

Agreed...As I said, with 2 liters of displacement and lower boost/CR the SC would have to be modded heavily to compete...I blew away an SC Cobalt the other night...Can't compete with equal boost, +.4 liters of displacement with higher CR....Mr. Cobalt asked what was under my hood and I replied "Mostly the same thing. We're powered by Ecotecs and we're both ripping Eatons(followed by the whine and dine of built(not bought) 9psi)...I peaced out.(Now...11psi)

 

nope, i don't remember...... i wasn't "here" a couple years ago.

 

Haha. I just barely let him win.

But, for real...I had him when it was just me running the stage kit.

 

I sold my SS/SC and came over to an HHR SS, 5 speed with the LSD.

My SC was on a 2.9" pulley, 42's, heat exhanger, Option B, catless DP, with a hell of a tune, ran 13.5 @ 104

Owned the HHR for two weeks, have Dejon intake, ZZP catless DP, and Trifecta budget tune and went 14.2 @ 104.

Identical traps, but the launch and 400 extra pounds is killing me!

Only car I've ran here too has been an SS/SC, stock pulley, intake and catback and I pulled from him a decent amount. That said though, my old SS/SC would have me but I love driving the HHR so much more.

 

Rumors in SE VA say your Cobalt got its arse handed to it by a non-TC HHR...
