Oh I beat a BMW 2 series too. (See above post) I still cant explain it though. On paper, they should be able to destroy us.

Yesturday, my cousin and i were bored so we decided to do a few races. But with a twist: He drove my tC (manual) and I drove his corrola (auto). And another rule: we had to let off at 55mph, cause the speed limit was 50.

Maaaan, it was fun as hell. I was getting my ass kicked ( by my own car so I didnt feel too bad, haha). We did about 5-6 races but here was my favorite:

So my cousin let me catch up, we were goin at about 30mph. As soon as I got next to him, I floored the Corrola, and I barely start pulling ahead, maybe by a foot. Then I hear the tC's CAI roar kick in and BAM! He flies outta there! It was awesome!

I was coming home yesterday from the gym and this Mustang pulls up beside me hella fast. I can see that he wanted to race. From what I can see, it's got a big ass muffler tip, rims, and lowered. It was pretty loud. I don't know what other mods on the Mustang. So he passed me up so I caught up to him and stayed beside him for about 5 seconds or so. Then he just downshifted and sped up. I tried to catch up and eventually i did. That Mustang was pretty fast. That wasn't really a race cause we both didn't start at the same time. But I know that if we did race, he would've beat me.

Nice............was it a GT?.........if so, he should have eaten you up if he had stuff done to them. They are torque monsters in high end.

S/C Cobalt with Stage II setup can start to take stock GTs but tuned/upgraded, those ponies are fast.

Similar story happened to me with the Mustang… First off, it had a GT badge but I’m not guaranteeing that it was an honest GT. I was getting on interstate79 heading home after work and behind me I see this mustang riding my bumper and then backing off and then coming up again, so I think to myself…ooohhh yeah, this is gonna be fun! But before we even get to the actual interstate, he hops over the center line/ rumble strip area, if you know which part I’m talking about. So I pull right behind him, as he passes and start the pursuit, with the lead he took by passing illegally he had about 6 car lengths on me but very oddly I started catching up slowly. By the time I cut out at 100, due to upcoming traffic, I was only about 1.5 car lengths behind him. Moral of the story, don’t put false badges on your car if it’s not truly a GT, and if it was, either learn to drive or don’t buy automatic sports cars, lol. It made my day to chase him down and I seriously could’ve passed him but I get on one exit and get off the next so I had to slow down to get in the exit lane and also the traffic was backing up! That counts as a win to me since he floored it passed me(head start) and I caught up and could’ve passed him if it wasn’t for my exit!

Yeah, gotta love the losers who buy V6 "sports" cars (Mustang, Camaro, Firebirds...) and get dual exhaust on them and badge them with the upgraded vehicle name.

^^^ haha yeah I see that all the time around here, the people cruisin around in V6 Mustangs with the exhaust and the fake 5.0 L padges on the side, u can tell by the sound and its so funny just to watch them think that they're all that and then get smoked by someone

hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...............any vids?

Stage II Cobalts can hang and slowly walk them but it's hard to believe your car could just easily beat them. I'd have to say, race a Stage II Cobalt then b/c if you can beat the GT, that's your next step to beat.


But, you're also relying on the bottle to push you that far. N2O is the cheater's power .......haha

I've been very picky about the cars I race. I don't even bother with the GT because I know I'll lose.

Hell yeah, me and my friend decided to do burnouts one time, and got damn did those wheels pop loose easily on his GT. His is all debadged and he took off the spoiler too...it looks like a v6 with an exception of the chromed 5 spokes. He gets eaten up by ls1's all the time though hahaha.

This has nothing to do with racing or mustangs but I find a lot of people think that there’s a V6 in my tC.
