I recently was challenged to a race in my v6 auto mustang against a cobalt ss (supercharged) and i was curious if my auto v6 would beat his SS in a 1/4 mile drag on a backroad?

any advice or tips would be appreciated.

P.S. Overdrive on or off for this drag?

Cobalts can be pretty nasty on the high end. From what I've heard and read they respond very well to mods and are great on the top end. It boils down to what you guys have done to your car. There is always the chance he may miss a gear or flat out suck at driving. My favorite part of drag racing my auto at the track is the consistancy of the runs with a good tune. I never have to worry about missing a gear or making sure I'm at redline, its always there.

Oh and when your racing you turn OD off. OD just turns off 5th gear which is basically a fuel saving gear when your at highway cruisng speeds. Also make sure your traction control is off or else you will lose a lot of power off the line.

Agreed.... Cobalts are more of a GT style race, or your car on the juice. They're too light.....
