boost > displacement in many situations, like this. Chipping a SC or Turbo yields incredible results, even at a simple Stage 1.

That is pretty impressive for a little Cobalt. That car has to be pulling low 13's I would guess if it is taking out that GTO (assuming 2005+ GTO). Not bad, at the end of the day though I would get the GTO also.

Video isn't surprising. It's not an LS2 Goat. If it were, I think that the Goat would have won.

The LS2 isn't that much faster than an LS1. I'm pretty sure the Cobalt would have still won.

But at the end of the day, it's still a Cobalt...

I'll take the GTO, thank you very much.

But how much faster was that Cobalt? I'd guess it to be at least a 1/2 second faster.

More like 5 cars. The rule of thumb is .1 is 1 car length down the 1/4.

That Cobalt was probably a mid 13s car at best.
