    set up a race with a 05 cobalt SS

    yeah so last night i set up a race with a guy i ran into with a cobalt SS for those who dont know i am now driving a 92 accord ex with a h22 Type S

    Tonight I run into the guy who i had talked to about his Cobalt SS and decided we were gonna run tonight and get a good judge of our cars

    Cobolt SS supercharged with something like 205 HP

    and my H22 swapped acord at somewhere between 200 and 220(guy says the swap is out of a type S prelude and it is converted from OBD2 to OBD1 some I am inclined to believe him)

    OK so he says he knows where we can run. turns out to be a subdivision that is being built all the roads are done but the houses are still being built. so his buddy does the whole pinks thing with point, point, nod,nod GO! anyways I drop from 2500 RPM feathering the clutch trying to get it to go instead of spin while the guy in the cobalt is just sitting there spinning tires as well but i get out of the hole first putting a 1/2 car on him then off we go through first into 2nd where i pull another car but then as im hitting 70MPH getting ready to shift I hit a nasty dip in the road sending me airborn all 4 tires and here i am pegging the rev limiter like 3 times before touching back down and catching grip again the cobalt pulled half a car when that happened and I let off maintaining control when touching back down which put him exactly a car ahead of me when we finished we left the place and headed back to town where we got the viem from everyones angle it was a damn good race and wild as F#@& when i went airborn it had to have bounced me like 2 feet off the ground. and what i learned from this loss is that i need better suspension lol

    I would think what you learned would be "don't race on normal roads"!

    The Cobalt SS is a nice car... should be a good race for an h22 swapped CB7 (especially a Type S, if that really is what you have).

    You should take it to a track though... timeslips, guaranteed flat roads, and no loss of license for racing if you're caught! You were airborne... if you landed wrong, you could've plowed right into that Cobalt. At best, both cars would've been lost. At worst, both lives would've been lost.

      yeah i much prefer track to street but the problem is there isnt a 1/4 mile drag strip withing 4 hours of me so we try to sanction our racing as best as possible

                  I've raced a stock cobalt 4dr and beat him a couple times. SS on the other hand, haven't run one and wouldn't win(until I boost that is)

                  Get your car dynoed so you know what you are really pushing !

                        I plan on running him again in the near furure on the interstate when there is no traffic and what not. As for the last Accord vs cobalt SS well I am inclined to believe any street racing story since I wasnt there and dont know how it went down as for my race ill say this with 2 good drivers cobalt SS will take a CB7 with bolt ons and what not since i was running an H22 swap and only had a car on him when I hit the dip and went airborn they are quick and definatly pull hard when the supercharger kicks in. For the reply about dynoing it i would love to i just have to find one near me which is between nashville and chattanooga
