Default Do you ever get tired of every Honda,Toyota,Colbolt SS & who know what

Wanting to see what your 928 can do light to light? Tonight going to see Ghost Rider we had a Cobolt SS run us down to get next to us. Then when we were side by side he jumps on it a bit to get me to run with him. So I jumped it a little and let him roll right on past. Not worth it to me to get cuffed and stuffed. But it does get old after a while. I know my S 4 is not a drag car and I think this Colbolt with a SC should be quick. For me it just get's old after a while. Time will tell where this Cobolt is in 20 year's.

With me it is usually Mustangs but lately no one has shown me much attention. That Cobalt SS is a fun car to drive BTW.

The cobalt SS supercharged runs a 14.7 1/4....which is quite quick for such a little car.....very fun to drive....really strong at lower speeds...but runs out of breath on the freeway....

I love to give everybody a run for their money on the autobahn. Especially all the Audis, Mercedes and BMWs, they are all limited to 250 km/h. That's exactly the point when my GTS is in it's own element, I love it

It's too bad that you guys in the US have the speed limit...

You'd be suprised how many of those 4 cylinder imports would embarrass a 928 from a dig. Unfortunately, we're living in an era where buble-box-family-mobies will out perform the performance cars from 20 years ago.

My 928 is so slow I pretend not see other cars attempting to challenge me.

Hi

Traffic light racers dont usually bother me....but if they get silly ,,,I arm the Nitrous and light it up....as at the moment I have little traction with it.....going sideways away from the lights with huge amounts of tyre smoke seems to put them off somehow lol ..and once I do get traction...Im gone and they are history in my rear view mirror....

All the best Brett

I had a Neon RT that was pretty modded come up to me one day, he made several attempts to get me going. We were doing 40 in a 60 and I finally said heck with it and took the bait. He beeped his horn 3 times (I assumed it was the start sig) I tromped on it and we went. He pulled on my like crazy but he let out at 60mph, just as I was pulling up.

He won the 40-60 and I gave him the thumbs up, I really wish he had kept in it instead of pussing out. My car didn't even wake up until after that.

Those things are quick.

SRT4 is the fast one....same with the Crossfire SRT6. Very quick off the line.

I used to just play against their speed limiters, but with CA's new over 100mph rule, is kind of not seeming as fun.

I've never come across a Colbolt SS before....... bit ugly IMO, it has to be quick so that no one could see you driving it.

Well, the scare-tactic idea is that you can get your car impounded and its like a misdemeanor.
