Don't Under Est. The Cobalt SS/SC
After speaking to a few of my friends who run low 8s, they told me with drag radials the Chevy Cobalt ss/sc with all the GMP parts and drag radials = 12s. For all those haters out there of the cobalt ss/sc I'm out to prove and gain the cobalt ss/sc respect. Go out there and show them up! I have GMPP touring exhaust, stage II and injen intake.

You won't run that again. The DA must have been -1200 feet. It says on the time slip absolute baro was 17.xx Thats crazy! My car would trap 115 in conditions like that!

I'll prove you wrong next time I go to the track and hit 12s on all GMPP. Want to make a bet with me? I'm so sick of posters who have no idea what our cars can do. Getting myself dual pass, drag radials, and manifold puts me into the 12s for sure. Anyone else want to hate because they only run those numbers with 60s and smaller pulley? Have some faith in our cars man. Don't under estimate me or my cobalt GMPP ss/sc

Chill out man. Any car would run rediculous times in conditions like that. All I'm saying is if you brought your car out to AZ you'd be lucky to trap 105. I'd love to bring my car out there on race gas, I can't imagine what it would run! Hope you get 12s, but seriously chill out!

blown i really like you man. but chill out on him. let him be happy. he had some good runs. i would be happy too if i had some consistent low times like that
also, these comments coming from someone who's 1/4 times posted in their sig come from a SCAN GAUGE don't hold very much clout

I'll chill, but then you need to chill. I'm very proud to run that, and I'll come out to AZ and prove I can run the same times if not better. I can change a few small things knowing the conditions and run the same times anywhere. You could just change the ammount of torq specs on some bolts and it can make a differane of a tenth or two. Go ahead and call BS, I drove with some of the fastest cars on the east coast. My uncle has a 9 second Honda Integra and he can run it on the street. You know what, tell me this buddy who knows it all. How can others with the same mods as me run slower and not even hit 13s that night? Its called driver....its called launching. I have a special checklist I go over before every run. You know you can gain about 15 horse power just with differant oils and lubercants? Trust me buddy, I will run 12s on all GMPP anywhere in the USA. You know the air has less moisture in AZ then here in PA. I know exactly what oil pressure and how to change a few small things to make my car run better in certain types of air. Its amazing how all the small things can add up to a few tenths. It could = win or lose.

Actually the 14.1@107 was run at friday night drags at the local track.
Ok, I'm done arguing, but if you want to talk about driver a 2.3 60' is hardly good. SwizzDSMSS ran 13.66 @ 102 with stage 1, 2.8" intake and exhaust. With a 2.1 60'...

Good luck with your axles and dr's, not trying to hate but on dr's your axles are going to be done, just like my friend with the ion at ceccil, he broke his doing a burn out on the radials.

Thanks man, Your going to go nuts after your first run! Its a drug brother!
Yea, I have a fix for my axles. I know a little secret how to warm up tires without even spinning them. Doing the burn out is alot more stressful then launching the car hard from the line. Thanks for the advice though. If they do break, back to the dealer for new ones =D
Your buddy with the icon has more power then I do. I only have stage II and he has a 2.6 pulley and 60s running 13.5s. He was doing something wrong.

Yea, my friend works there. Igrew up with him and hes my peronal tech. I already told him they have a chance to break so we talked about it. We came up with a cool idea how to warm them up without spinning. I don't think they will break and if they do he will cover them. Thanks for the concern.
