(copied and pasted from a local forum)

Last Thursday I was driving down 141 around the 21 area and a orange cobalt started riding my ass. So he pulled up net to me and demanded a 20 roll 3 honk, he was very excited and a younger guy so I can understand his state. We wait until traffic was not so bad and from 30 miles an hour I was in 2nd. Gave him the hit every time and the result was the same. Me by about 5+ cars by 90-100. He was extremely mad at himself for loosing because apparently he had beaten up a few other Cobras. He said it had an intake and possibly and exhaust. Im sure it would have been better if he had a tune.

Last night I was on 141 again this time going south and had just past 44 when again an even more aggressive WRX started riding my ass blowing his blow off with extreme authority. There was a decent amount of traffic and this guy was adamant on racing and being retarded. Right after we got past that one place he just hammers it and had to have gotten up to 120+ by the time we got to Hawkins. The whole time im blinking my light off/on to try to get him to slow down. Finally after Hawkins we meet up again from about 30 he does a 3 honk. I was not expecting this as there was a turn up ahead and I was in 3rd. But still I knew if I didn't go he would put the pedal to the floor until he reached terminal velocity. It was a surprising outcome to me, I pulled him again by 5+ cars. After that I caught the light at Bowles and 141 and stopped at the red light, thinking this would be a perfect time for his symmetrical AWD to shine. This fool must have been embarrassed because he pulled off and went right at Bowles, he could clearly see me at the light as I was the only one there.

It was a TC'd Cobalt. I have heard that a tune really wakes them up.

Theres a Tc balt running around here with just a trifecta tune, hahn intercooler and pipes, and TBE trapping 113 ish. Very impressive for the few mods it has

the 3" hahn exhaust is next on her "to get" list, its a very quick car just not that easy to launch even with the lsd..

I raced a cobalt ss in my mach, it was one with the supercharger not turbo, it was hilarious hearing the whine when i went by him.

If they have an intake and a smaller pulley they sound like a baby terminator, same with the Saturn Ion red lines. Very torquey little vehicles.
