the pop ups on this site, piss me off.

are you sure that those were the cars?

Ya, that cobalt won overall. This is old news guys

The Evo's did pretty well in AWD classes.

 

[Battle Pope]

that's a completely different thing. the thing with the skyline and cobalt and jetta was on the speed channel.

I contend that the only reason the cobalt was that fast was because John Heinricy was driving it.

And it was funded by GM and it had NOS!!!11!11ONE!!!

 

[Battle Pope]

The only reason John Heinricy was driving it was because of GM's backing.

They had to do something impressive so the cobalt could break into the "tuner market".

There is no way it hung with them in the straights though.

 

[E_SolSi]

yeah maybe thats the problem
the test was biased
REAL performance is measured in a straight line

 

[B16]

I mean, clearly the other car's 0-60 times and skid pad numbers out do that of the cobalt!

Too bad nobody used a 2000 Mustang GT. They would have been t3h winn4r f0 sh0!!11!y0ne

 

[E_SolSi]

it came in 44th place
but it was setup for mAdD d0<span style="color:#FF0000">R</span>iFtooo0!!!!!1!!!!! cUz iTz jDm lik3 that y0!!!!!1!!!!!

I think the problem was that it was an 05. If it had been a 2000-2002, it would have come in 0th, because not even 1st would have been good enough.

i'm going out on a limb here, but i'm pretty sure it was the supercharged K24 that was in hondatuning or something a while back

EDIT* http://www.hasport.com/News/Projects/1988%20CRX.htm

and oh yeah, looks like the gm performance division guys know what they're doing


EDIT AGAIN* http://forums.superstreetonline.com/photo/...oto=898&cat=548
