Pics from the day at the strip the GTI is red as is the Camaro. http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2832...34422057tZWtqm
The siverish camaro runs in the high 7s I am fairly sure he runs patriot heads and the engine is reworked plus a 150 shot on street tires.

the red camaro looks like a rs with new badges the paint is foggy as the head lights and theres sparkling badges on the sides lol seems to look like a 6er but if a ls1 camaro is running 9s in the 1/8 1. there reaction times are very bad 2. they roast the tires. 3. dont know how to drive. i take back saying bs im not trying to say your lieing by any way i just think the 9.2 1/8 mile run is a **** run

1. It was a V8
2. Yes it should have been faster
3. Reaction time does not affect ET

Your brothers SS cobalt is a 2.4 not a 2.0 SC currect? The 2.0T in the VW is a nice engine but it is only a 15 second car. Most people that can drive will put a SC cobalt down in the mid to low 14s. LS1 is a low 13 second car. Sorry but you do the math.

Ha Ha you guys are killing me.... it was a sc cobolt saab stickers and everything I have a video of it running down the track if I can find it. We thought the Cobolt was faster to at least I did, the gtec said otherwise and the track confirmed it. This track is what I consider very good street conditions sure spray the track with enough stuff to take your shoes off and some cars will get alot better times especially the cobalt first gear is redicuously low. And by the way I dont need to do the math he actually owns/owned the cars we have real times not I heard my brothers cousins fried stuffits as real as it gets

Yes the cobalt gearing is crazy low. But for a good driver it allows for very low 14 second runs. The GTI in stock form is a low 15 second car. HP is close on the two cars but they make it very different. The SS is in fact about .7 seconds faster on average in the 1/4. And should kill the GTI in the 1/8th unless you cant drive the cobalt.

I say this since a good driver can launch the hell out of the cobalt. A less expericned driver will spin or bog the car. I have seen a 1.5 second difference from a good driver and a first timer in the SC/SS. That was a 14.3 to a 15.2 same car, same track, same night. I am not feeding into the V8 thing. It could have been a bad driver or bad car but at the end of the day a stock GTI vs a LS1 is not even a race.

i do know that the 2.0 SC's rape the 2nd 1/8mile. there's plenty of vids of 2.0S/Cs with pulley working running side by side to stock LS1s from 30-100.

and they are really light cars. and if you get your hands on a comp package, you will no doubt rape GTI's and prolly R32s. stock LSD and worked Pulley. better factory tune. better factory suspension.
