Sure have, mostly in my rear view That one was more than likely stock, but I gotta say even in stock form they move pretty good. _____________________________ Don''''t PM me with tech questions Antartic Blue Super Sports wagon with C.B. and optional Rally Fun Pack (in reply to Ahriman) Post #: 44

The differences between the 2 are that the ss/sc has a little bit better suspension. (in reply to Forty04) Post #: 45

It's faster than both in stock form, I think it's a 13.9sec 1/4mi car right off the lot. With a few bolt-ons it would see mid 13's easily, with some tuning it could easily see low 13's.

RE: could an Si beat an cobalt ss/sc? - 9/18/2007 7:08:17 PM    civkid   Posts: 54 Joined: 2/25/2007 Status: offline Obviously most people on this forum would say a Civic is gonna be faster than whatever. Here's my opinion; stock (fastest-slowest) Mazdaspeed3,SRT-4, Cobalt Supachaged/Redline, Civ Si. Ya sure any car can be faster, you put a g in to a Civic, itll be faster, you put some slicks and a manual boost cont. (like $500 all together) on an SRT-4 it'll be faster, you put a pully on a supercharged car itll be faster. Civics are slow stock, thats just the way it is. I had a 93 d16 coop, now I own a 96 thunderbird w/ a 4.6 modular engine, its faster, period, 280lbs of torq is vry nice. If you want a "fast" car go wit the galant vr4, all you need there is a boost controller and a cone filter (12+ lbs a boost stock) it should beat/keep up with gobalt sc's and beat civics. Civics are no doubt fun cars, but my vote is with the SRT-4, good for smokies, ugly headlights, boost is nice. sorry for the book (in reply to KoshaK) Post #: 49
