well, if you're a jackass 90% of the time with your tuned car, then that **** will happen. I don't WOT everyday that I drive my car. A lot of that **** is user error too.

A smart man should know adding 80lb/ft of tq and NLSing don't go hand in hand. Dumb.

Well you would think that would be common sense ........But i bet if GM put out a tune that made 340wTQ, and kept NLS .......there wouldn't be a replacement F35 left in North America lol

very true, but to the people who DO NLS with a tuned car, it's not very smart. I'm not even tuned and I know this. My one buddy doesn't quite understand though. He's trifecta tuned and NLS's every chance he gets!

He'll learn one day though when his tranny blows apart like legos.

GM needs $$ from replacement parts eh? I think that's why they made the Cobalt. This thing eats up more spark plugs and MAP's once tuned than a monkey in a banana buffet

Wow.. Good thing I never got into the habit of NLSing before being tuned.. I was never really able to do it anyway.. My foot always came off the throttle instinctively heh.

Those are the pieces of 3rd, 4th and 5th gear that this tranny chewed up. The whole point is that it isnt recognizable.....its called carnage. Cost more to rebuild this tranny that to replace.

ouch, I had another guy that keeps killing his MAP sensor NLS's 1st to 2nd for some reason (car is only running 20-21psi).
But the dude also NLS's every ******* 1-2 shift.
I don't even NLS my car with the WOT box, I only use it to launch the thing

Oh my...maaaayyyybe I'll stop doing that now. I mean on the street I never get on my car the only time I get on it is at the track (I've learned my lessons with tickets from my early years).

yeah my 110 in a 50 831$ ticket pretty much stopped me from speeding alltogether. next month will be three years since my last one ( knock on wood )
