iirc he did use launch control

I've ran 13.5 at 104 in my stock 08 ss/tc. I'd be willing to bet the driver of this cobalt used the launch control on this run. The launch control bogs the car down and IMO doesn't work at the track.

260 to the wheels on a bad day lol

13.5 is the stock record for this car but only a few people can run mid 13's u need a good driver and very prepped track

I also don't care if it's a 14 flat car or a 13.6 sec evo equalizer..... It'll start walk'n the stock Evos and STI's above 40 mph... Stock for stock it gets from 0-130 in 24.2 sec the evos and sti's can't get there in under 26 sec. At 130 mph, this 2 sec gap is equal to 6 car lengths...

Beastcamz, you are clueless.... we're talking about the cobalt SS turbo for 2008-2009, not the cobalt LS.... These new Cobalt SS\TC's out slalom the C6 Z06 and spanked many high priced exotics in the lightning lap including trouncing Evos and STI's... This little car runs a 14 flat at 101.89 mph, that's faster then a evo or sti new or old (stock) in terms of MPH and it'll walk away from the evos and sti's from a roll...14.8 means this person does not know how to drive....The only reason the sti's and evos hit 13's in terms of time in the quarter is their awd.... or 0-30mph traction...FYI: this new balt has a launch control that no one has really tried on the track yet with grippy tires, this would equal things against the Evo's\STI's in terms of off the line launching.... And, several of these have ran high 13's at 103 mph... 100% stock with a really good driver....It's a German engine too. They're making 240-255 whp stock and with just a simple re-tune pushing 290 whp\340 wtq... These new little balts are way underestimated..

Yeah they are turbo with 260bhp

those things are turbo right?

Yeah, it has the potential to be a 13 second car stock..but that traction control feature is very hard to work with at the strip.

i think it can be a stock 13 sec car with the right driver.
