I hate blacked out/smoked tail lights with a passion but it really fits your car.

I have never had it on a dyno, really need to go though...if I were to guess it would be between 250-270whp.

It looks good.

But if you say it puts 250-270 down, given the power train loss is ~15 to 20%, that means 275 - 305 HP. What are your engine / exhaust mods?

Well in his sig I see it says pulley and meth. I would venture to say if he is running an upgraded pulley he probably has headers, high flow cats or straight pipe, and some sort of exhaust cause that doesn't look stock. Also probably an intake. Definitely a nice power output from a 4cyl for sure though.

sad to say i loss to one of these yesterday, from a 40 roll. we got to about 90 and he had about a car and a half on me. once it was over i asked him if he was stock and he said, "no, i got a stage 1 kit from GM giving me 290whp." im surprised how quick those cars are.

Looks awesome. Definitely need some better pictures though.

Have to give props to Cobalt SSs. I'd take on all day long over an SRT-4.

Cobalt SSs are fast for sure. Very easy to mod too.

You are correct sir...on a 2.8 making 17lbs, longtube header, no cats, etc...def far from stock but I am on stock internals still.

Sounds like you raced an 08+ SS, which have the LNF engine. The GM stage 1 kit for those is pretty beastly! Also, 40 rolls are a great sweet spot for cobalts, so if you race again, choose a different mph so you can get the advantage.
