As i said..quoted from motor trend: 0-60: 5.8sec, 1/4mile: 14.5 @ 96.7

Looks like you have seen faster.

14.2 @ 96.5

Interesting once more..


did you not read the post? i just proved that the ralliart does not shit on the gti. The new wrx, however, will out perform and is in the same class, i agree.

Interesting...i dont know my own car huh? seems like your the one mistaken.

You can drive a cobalt ss all you want..but at the end of the race..you still drive a cobalt.

Hmm i wonder why motor trend is the only one to have a 5.8 0-60 time? Seems really BULLSHIT

I guess these ppl cant drive for shit then? cause they all get high 6's 0-60?

To be honest you cant argue over who dynos higher #'s because there are just too many factors to be thrown in such as weather, altitude, octane levels, type of dyno etc.

Dont hate on the cobalt! that car will slaughter yours! Idc if your car is better looking the power that car can put down with one tune. Unbelievable. I dont hate on any car (except prius) but im glad i got my gti great little slow car. Keeps the speeding tickets off my ass LOL soon ill hopedully go k04 and be happier!

Cheers you GTI fanboy.

Cheers you GTI fanboy.

Did you even read the thread that you posted a link of.For one, you posted one link to one dyno, when i posted three. If you read the post, everyone is asking why the numbers are so low because that was not normal and it was irregular for a GTI to dyno that low. I agree with not comparing dyno's. So do not state that the GTI is incapable of making 200whp from the factory when more dyno's have stated that it can than stating it cant. Without comparing the dyno's you have no way of supporting your claim. If you do try to compare dyno's, you will see im right.

I could care less about the cobalt being faster. Im aware that it is, i have raced one. My point of that statement was that at the end of the race, win or lose, it is a P.O.S. chevy that honestly has nothing on the gti accept its engine. Put the two cars side by side, you decide which is the all around better car to spend 25k on.


and if by fanboy, you mean a fan of the GTI, then yes. I am. thats why i bought the car. At this point i am confused as to why you did. Speed is not everything and once again i state that i do not think the gti is the fastest or the best car around. My argument was simply that, when compared to cars in it's class, the GTI performs surprisingly well.



The fact that Motortrend was able to pull off that time is irrelevant. I compared that time with times of other cars that motortrend tested as well to ensure the least amount of error possible. Dont you think that if they can pull off a fast time in the GTI, they can pull off fast times in other cars as well? You can collect data from random places and put them together but it will still not show a strong correlation because the tests were not done in the same conditions and by the same people as were the statistics i showed comparing cars. Both the ralliart and the GTI were compared and tested by the same people, in the same conditions.

you have one quick stage 2 GTI...

a little footage of my 0-60. Its on 91 octane mods with manual 6 spd.

About Cobalt SS, the last edition 2008/2009 with the turbo got tuned by chevrolet to get the best score on tracks. They added brembo brakes in front, better suspension setup and good stock power. Its one of the fastest FWD car ever made stock.

We had SO many threats about Cobalt SS and Gti, it is really a surprise to anyone here ?

i love the responses if you mod your gti it can outperform other cars higher in price, lolz but
if you mod those other cars then they walk all over the gti.
the gti is a good well rounded sport compact but thats it.
gti use to be able to hang or beat allot of stuff. but now it is left behind by everything else.
hell i remember when a gti could beat a mustang gt, well ford shut the door on that one now with the new 5.0
the k03 is garbage its dead by 5500 and it has no top end.
gti is well rounded but it has fallen behind in the performance area.

Yea thegti might not be the fastest car in its class but when u compare everything else the gti beats the competition hands down I think, build quality, interior, driving feel and handling dynamics, overall fit and finish, and the gti. Is the best looking car in the class. No wonder in all the big car magazine comparisons that the gti is in it always ends up in first place. And let's not forget that the 200 hp rating the factory prints out is the actual wheel hp.
