Re: Stock colbalt faster than 92 svx?
As said, the newer cobalt SS are very quick stock, If I remember right 0-60 in like 5.7 and quarter mile right around 14 flat. Pretty quick econobox for about 18k. They were bragging about how it was faster than a Vette, an 89 Vette that is

Re: Stock colbalt faster than 92 svx?
The 08+ Cobalts SS is a 2.0 turbo motor now, 270 hp with a no lift shift transmission, I think they even have brembos on the front. It's the worlds fastest front wheel drive car, they even tested it on the Nurburgring. If its one of those I would stay far, far away. I've even considered buying the new four door one as a daily driver, they're barely 23k brand new.
The older ones make way less power but with some mods they get faster than you'd think. |

Re: Stock colbalt faster than 92 svx?
Alright, pretty much answered my question. He's been saying he can beat me and his little cavalier friends agreed so I just wanted an opinion from the "professionals" of the svx. The event would be just for fun and starting sometime in the spring. Infospherix is hosting it thanks to active network and they're setting up a "fair type" settig for the kids too. Local race cars (basiclly older monte carlos) will be attending as well, that is, if the plan goes forward. They just sent some papers out about it last week asking each of the supervisors opinion so I turned in my idea and they liked it and may go forward with it. just wanted to know if I should participate at all cause this is the type of guy that if you prove him right he'll never shut up about it.
I think I got the input I needed and won't bother with this thread anymore cause it's bothering the suspicious people who seem to have lost all faith in todays youth. I see your reasoning guys, sorry if I upset you.

Re: Stock colbalt faster than 92 svx?
I'm not in this for speed or I wouldn't tell everyone that I plan on having this car for well over 15 years. I love an svx because of it's timeless design and the way she moves. I do plan on giving her a face lift and maybe a super charger so when a freind says I don't, I actually do. I never plan on selling my svx and if I would it wouldn't be for a chevy.. Maybe another subaru. I'm thinking about getting the resistor mod and just going there to rev my engine. As it turns out you may have to pay to compete and I don't like spending money lol.

Re: Stock colbalt faster than 92 svx?
NO! That means GM will kill it like they killed the Fiero since the redeisgned Fiero was expected to be faster than the Vette as well No wonder GM will be out of business in 10 years.

i would think the base model Cobalt would give an SVX a challenge, although Freeman is fitted with dimpled/slotted rotors and HID lights, so its hard to say. SVX: its not a drag car.

Re: Stock colbalt faster than 92 svx?
remember GM/s Buick Grand National. That was the fastest stock production car at the time, easily beating all corvettes of the time. Corvette drivers got pissed, and went and sold their Vettes to get the GN. Then, GM dropped GN after 3 years, so they could increase Vette sales again.

Re: Stock colbalt faster than 92 svx?
A SVX with the stock gearing is NOT a quick 1/4 mile car......but bet it has a higher top speed
