'95 Civic EX VS. 05 Cobalt SS VS. 05 Civic Si
I got lined up on a 3 lane highway at a light with the Cobalt and Civic, both friends of mine. I took off normal, the Civic floored it, i look beside me and the Cobalt is at my bumper, i give it half throttle and he's still even with me, so i lay into it around 20 and put about 3 cars on him by 70. As for the Civic, i flew by him too quick to care. :P
I stopped to talk to him, i asked if he was even on it, he said "Yeah, but i had a bad launch", i replied "Oh, i didn't floor it until around 20, i didn't know you wanted to race".
I expected low 14s from my car, it's showing it could hit a low-mid 13 (especially if i opened my cut-out on my restrictive *** exhaust) no problem, i found Cobalts are a 14.5.
I'm currently still at 12psi, i've some bugs to work out before i buy a MAP sensor and raise it, i plan 20.

70s Italian wheels aren't cool enough?
I don't really care, they're better than the 17s that were on it when i bought it, i traded them for these. Kind of a dumb trade, they were Enkei, but i hate wheels bigger than 16s (16 is pushing it).

I wouldnt be too excited about beating the cobalt. Last time I was at the strip there was a pair of them there ( yes the supercharged SS ones ), that couldnt break out of the 16s, and were trapping high 80s, low 90s. Not saying that it wasnt mostly driver error... but still.
