Trying (and failing) to keep up with a Cobalt SS/TC at Gingerman Raceway

Even though the E36 is the natural, undisputed, best car ever made, there is some notable competition. Namely, the Chevrolet Cobalt...
1995 BMW 318ti
Unmodified M50B25TU
188mm Z3 3.46 Torsen LSD
KW V1 Coilovers (for standard E36)
Whiteline 27mm front sway bar
80A Engine and Transmission mounts
80A FCABs
95A Diff mount, subframe, and trailing arm bushings
225/50/R16 Hankook RS4 (pretty much heat cycled out by this point)
325i Front brakes
StopTech 309 Sport front and rear brake pads
August Evening Test 'N Tune, 8/7/24

. Great driving, very nice sounding car, looks very solid and stable. Nice track.. At first I was gonna say the ss may be faster in a straight, but your driving and lines were waaaay better. Especially how you could come up before a turn so well. Then he really pulled on you and disappeared. guessing he got on his lines better than he was. That was cool. I own a cobalt ss so I was very intrigued to see what happened. Ever ride with that car again, or another ss, like that Monte even, post it!
