Default AP1 vs Cobalt SS Turbocharged

Hey everyone,

I usually don't post in here much for I am not the street racing type anymore, but sometimes you got do what you got a do. Anyways, last night I was leaving from my parents house with my Fiance and was having a nice evening drive home. About 5 minutes after getting onto the freeway, I was passed by two bikes, a turbocharged Cobalt SS, SRT4 Neon and a Legacy GT. They must have been cruising together. I dropped it into third and played around for a bit destroying the Legacy and keeping up with the Balt and SRT4. I shut it down after a minute or two and decided to calm down and let them have fun. About a mile later, the Cobalt was pacing me. I had an open three lane freeway so I decided to drop it into third. No honks were made, we just looked at each other and went at the same time. We were neck and neck through third, I shifted into fourth and he must have still had a little gear left. He gained about a fender and then I realed him in again in fourth. We were neck and neck all the way to the top of fourth when I let off. I know they are pretty stout cars, he had mods but not sure what exactly. I doubt it was reflashed. BTW, my car is an 02 AP1 with an FIPK and 63mm test pipe.

I know you can get a GM reflash at the dealer and they can put down a little over 300whp and 350wtq with it. He may have had that done.

He had more than that I think, I'm putting down 300rwhp and he put like 5 cars on me in 3-5th, tried to get him to come to a meet we where having but he must have had somewhere to go.

lmao no turbo for me, I will up the boost as soon as I can get some more funds and time. You would have no problem putting some bus lengths on him. I'm sure with my new set up I won't either. Need to find either an FMIC or an aftercooler to keep the temps down when not WOT, since the water/meth will only be spraying when I'm WOT.
