Cobalt SS/SC vs RSX-S

Post by Rich »

This video is on the cobalt board and honestly the rsx is getting a lot of props for hanging in there.

But im curious to see what you guys think

Though the GM catback is horrible lol
No dyno #s for the cobalt.
Seems like pretty good #'s for the RSX though.

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.
Hope this helps

Seems typical. The cars are very close stock for stock and both take very well to those mods.

The turbo cobalts however are a completely different story. Those cars are freaks and with tune only, it would have been a massacre.

both good runs

but sc/turbo ftw

that rsx though would have beat it through the 1/4mile im sure. N/A isn't much for top speed for the most part.

nah there was a dig run as well and the sc pulled him. The sc's are actually stronger down low. Its the turbo cobalts which can do top end runs.


EDIT: well will have to go onto cobalt forums to find the dig run where the rsx doesnt miss 2nd gear....

Will search the cobalt board to see where the other was. The only one on his youtube has the the RSX pull 1st then miss 2nd. Which is where the SC begins to pull since 1st gear traction usually sucks for those guys lol

ouch on the 2nd gear, but man idk that would have been an awful close race if it wasn't for him shifting badly.

nonetheless it was a great race!
