It should be noted that motor trend used correction factors on almost all of the acceleration times they print. I never trust their numbers.

Yeah, like I said, something has to be completely fked up about those times, because like I said, the Cobalt SS is 2/10ths SLOWER than the Ion RL, which would make the RL faster on the track than the SRT-4, according to those times. We know this to be untrue.

Welcome and I'd also like to see some pics i haven't heard of it coming in orange

joe tom · 04-07-2005, 01:34 PM

hey pete, welcome! hey do you by any chance go to temple?

SilverTurboRidin · 04-07-2005, 03:30 PM

numbers from motor trend..
Cobalt SS 2005 Srt-4
0-30 2.2sec 2.4sec
0-40 3.5 3.8
0-50 4.8 4.9
0-60 6.1 6.0
0-70 7.9 7.8
0-80 10.2 9.7
0-90 12.6 11.8
0-100 15.4 13.8

1/4 mile 14.4sec@99.3mph 14.4sec@100.8mph

braking 60-0 113ft 118ft
g-pad 0.88g 0.88g

course track 97.2 seconds 97.4 seconds

Theyre numbers dont match the srt. Think about it. the only hit 100.8 in the 1/4th @14.4 But yet they hit 0-100 in 13.8

Where the **** do they get the idea that its running 14.4..Are they blind??

99SL2_Modder · 04-07-2005, 03:32 PM

Yeah, they can't drive the SRT-4. Plain and simple.

04 SRT-4:
Performance
0-60 mph: 5.3 sec
0-100 mph: 13.4 sec
Quarter Mile: 13.9 sec @ 103 mph

Motortrend = newb shifters.

Edit:
Apparently they can drive a cobalt SS fairly well though.

0-60 mph: 6.1 sec
0-100 mph: 16.0 sec
Quarter mile: 14.7 sec @ 97 mph
