The cobalt is nice and cheap, but you should be posting on the ion redline board asking for good races, not here.
Me and my friend considered doing the same thing, but we haven't got around to doing it yet.

Furthermore everything on the outside of the Impreza is defeinently STI. So unless someone got the wing, hood scoop, rims, running borads, and stickers, it's an STI. I know people fake that stuff all the time, but you can usually see right through it.

Finally, I've seen vids of a WRX and an SS, and its not pretty. That car is NOT a plane Jane WRX, its an STI. I wish someone would take their video camera out, find an SS and prove me wrong, but I don't think its going to happen.

well just answer 1 question for me bud,the rims on that wrx are not sti rims,they are in fact wrx rims which cannot clear the brembo brakes.sorry but do you actually think somebody is gonna switch out those brembos just to fit some regular wrx rims on it to give it more of a sleeper look,thus losing handling and good brakes? i dont think so.and to your offer,i know a couple cobalt ss around here so expect a video in the near future.oh and by the way,i guess he changed his seats and body kits as well.oh and the fact that the cobalt ss was carrying 4 passengers and the wrx only 1,lol that proves the suby wasnt really racing at all because if it was,then the suby would have literally crushed the cobalt because of all that extra weight.

I don't think your looking at the video I posted. When streetfire is up again I will take another look, but I don't recall the car in the beginning of the video having anything but STI rims. Is the video your talking about the one where they do the walk around at the gas station before the race? If not please look at my posts above, and follow the link. It is not the same video that this thread was started with.

? Sorry, I'm trying to figure out whether you are arguing for us or against us.

That's one hell of a slow run for a STi, even at 5000ft+ elevation. He probably didn't launch it hard or bogged.

I like the video that shows the guy "red lighting" though. Someone had too much time on their hands.

The only thing I can think of is that they were friends with the STi driver and he purposfully paced the SS while the SS went full throttle. Like many others have said in the real world, I too have ran into an SS (also when stock) and it wasnt even close....im talking 8 lengths or so from a 30-100 roll.
