this is so sad.. a disgrace to 3g owners
I was driving in town tonight, and happened to see another 3g. Well, I was thinking.. hmm I don't normally see alot of these around here, so I went in the direction he was going. I noticed his car was lowered, and he had an exhaust. But then, I see a gt emblem.. So I'm thinking I would follow behind him and see how his car sounds. ( I like to compare
) But this thing sounded like a 4cyl... I think maybe its just a quieter exhaust than mine, and sounds different. But, as I moved a little further up, I notice that... He doesn't have the v6 emblems (which could have been removed) He has the Gs wheels, and has drums instead of dics in the back. He slows down some, and I am right ahead of him, only to look back and see some Autozone foglights. Then you will never guess what he tried doing.. Thats right.. Racing me. But seeing as how this was in the middle of town, with alot of stoplights, and it wasn't on the track I wasn't going to do any sort of racing. He keeps getting beside me revvin up his engine, and spinning his tires at EVERY light. So, i get ahead of him, and head towards the freeway. As always, he was right on my ass so I figured I would see if he could at least keep on my butt getting on the freeway, and well.. after I stomped on it ( just getting up to the speed limit on the freeway) he steadily fell behind. I decide I would slow down enough for him to catch up so that I could point and laugh at how stupid he is, but as I slow down, he slows down even more so that he doesn't catch up to me. I continued home, with a disgusted look on my face, and a sick feeling in my gut. Why on earth would you try and make your 4cyl eclipse, that is a fraction faster than a foot powered bicycle and make it out to be a gt? or even try to race the thing. People say eclipses are girl cars, and well the 4cyl... FOR SURE. But its okay, hes cool and wants his to be a race car. anyway.. just wanted to rant.

Don't kid yourself, you own a bargain basement domestic shitbox in the same vein as the SRT4. Whoop-dee-doo. Unless you are still in high school and trying to impress your fellow french fry chefs, you're not impressing anyone here.And for the record, the 3G is a proven, shitty platform as well, so this thread comparing whose got the faster piece of shit is pretty damn hilarious. |

So you kinda stalked and followed the guy and then wondered why he wanted to race you. What did you expect? Who has time for that anyway. I have had people try to race me when it is like MOVE DB I am not trying to race I am trying to get somewhere.
Also I think badging up or badging down a car to trick people into thinking the car is faster or slower than it really is is dumb. Either leave the badges stock or debadge the whole car. |

There is almost no turbo lag, I'll belive a 1200 hp cobalt when I see it, and you could make a 1200hp 3g if you have the cash. oh by the way, why are you on a forum for 3g eclipses if you are such an advocate for gm shitboxes, also known as the cobal ss

You are so misinformed or are just saying that because you really want a response out of me. I've race stupid hoda civic's turboed, eclipse gt's mustang 5.0's honda crx's mustang gt's and so on and beat all of them!! I raced a c5 corvette and kept up with it. Just cuz it has the chevy name on it and you think that it is a cobalt doesn't mean it is slow fyi |

Those of us with boosted 4'S would walk you all day long all day strong my friend!
Come see us when or if you hit the 350hp mark with your cobalt!

This thread is a failure...S/C Cobalts suck, but in all honesty, most of us turbo 3g's stay around the 14sec mark... So in all honesty, we're debating who's got a faster 14 sec POS? (I still wanna see pics of this superquick cobalt, because my bone stock N/A S2000 just picked up seems to run these numbers he's claiming...)

The cobalt is bad ass. I've raced rx-7, Supra, lotus elise etc. with my high horsepower cobalt, and I have won everytime. I was playing Need for Speed Most Wanted though

![]() Oh dear, as I thought, you all took it the wrong way. I followed him yes, but also it was on my way home. Just.. a way with alot of stop lights. I said his 4cyl being a girl car, because well... Eclipses ARE girl cars, I drive one, I don't really care. I never once said my gt was "Fast", and I was just talking about how he tried to say his was a gt. Also, Congrats if you have a fast 4cyl. WHen in my post did I say I could beat all of yalls Boosted 4cyls? Never. I made the statement that, he was posing to be a gt, whilst having a 4 banger, and he tried racing. I didn't say I raced him either. All I did, was push my FRACTION FASTER THAN A BICYCLE GT AS WELL, to the limit getting on the freeway, and proceded to walk away from his N/a muffler tipped, gt badged, otherwise known as stock rice, while getting on the road. I know my car is slow, but this thread isn't about how "fast" my car is, or anything. Just about him posing, being dumb, and being a typical teenager. I happen to think the whole situation was quite amusing. |

You should word your threads more carefully...this is a forum for both the GT/GTS GS/RS and all the stratus cousins around. You can't exactly expect not for someone to take your comments to their 3g hearts lol. I (a 4 banger owner) fogive you this time lol.

Have one of your "fast" cars in the area race me. I'll take some pics of the mods that I have done. I have a full 3" exhaust, 60lb injectors, a wicked tune from zzperformance (who has a twin charged cobalt with 440hp) 2.8 pulley aem CAI. non performance mods include 19' adr rims dual halo projectors with hid's painted tail lights. I had a 3g eclipse i thought it was badass and faster than a pos cobalt until I bought one. My eclipse was slower than the cobalt stock for stock. When I modded my cobalt it got even faster. I have also raced a modded gsx awd and beat it. Whatever, I'm only defending you saying my cars is slow. Put your money where your mouth is and step up
