I ran 14.4 @ 102 with a 2.6 60' with just stage 2... So with a better driver and traction stage 2 should be low 14's easily... but thats easier said than done in our cars. Especially on stock tires, stock suspension and non-lsd.

 

i have a friend that works at vickars mitsu if you wanna see if we can get you a deal sometime

 

Yah like a nice evo I wonder how much they are in canada. Now i gotta check...

41K... not bad

but really, i could get a new t/c cobalt with a tune and have a car just as fast basically but no warranty then

 

honestly...if i sold my car today, I would buy an Aveo and a bike for the summer im not kidding haha

 

Hey I believe you...

I'm gonna buy a $1,200 pice of crap nissan pathfinder... 4 cylinder and 4 x 4...

Insurance will be cheap, gas will be less than the cobalt by far, and oil changes will be cheap, and monthly payment over 5 years will be $20.00 lol...

So I figure over winter I'll save up some good money and then I can buy a nice car in spring... or if I don't have enough I'll keep driving it for another year and save up even more and then get an even nicer car

 

nice....now we have a vehicle for some winter snowbank shenanigans

 

Im Getting A 90 Mercury Sable Wagon For $600 Lol

Its Getting A Saftey As We Speak

 

Lol yah guys, winter shenanigans and once you see it you'll wanna drive it and hand out free candy too...

jeff and I will go crusing together with the wagon and the pathfinder lol.. here little boys and girls, free candy..

 

I went to the track yesterday and got 3rd in the trophy class
my best time for the day was 14.5 @ 102 with a 2.5 60' with just the stage 2 as well.. I couldnt believe the diffrence of the launch technique needed compared to just a regular road, i had to do 1/4 throttle accelerations all day. Traction mods are a MUST! Ingalls, WOT BOX and this shud be enough to bring it down to 14.0 -14.2

EDIT/P.S: I got about 7 runs in for the day and the 7th was my best, I dialed in as 14.72 and hit 14.54 but I beat the mustang to the finish line so HA!

 

I'm still convinced stage 2 will run high 13's all day long with proper traction mods. My time, and your time have high 13's written all over it

I think even lowering springs make a huge difference, my car shifts a ton of weight to the rear compared to a lowered car. And that weight shift leaves not much weight on the front wheels for traction.

 

:: lifts glass :: Here here!!!

traction will bring us the glory 13s... so many cars there i was like **** i can run with you if i had traction, but they all kinda gave that "ya right" look... ;( EX: the low 14s GTP Grand Prix ... i was like FAWK!

 

Heyyo. Do you guys still meet at the A&W at polo?? like on sundays?

 

nice times. is that your first time at gimli? i agree the traction is totally different from launching on the road. motor/trans mounts and an ingals would be nice

 

yup it was my first time racing there. I cant wait to go back - it was tons of fun, specially trophy racing. helps when u keep winning too

 

yup

 

bL1Nd - how did you find the production numbers on your sig there?

 

my winter beater is up for that kind of playing around. especially when I get my lift and tires. 4 or 6" lift and likely 33" or trim fenders for 35" mudders.

 

I got them from a RLF thread.

(fix the breaks, RLF.com and SS.net are like oil and water)

 

THe only traction mode that will get you better times is tires and technique. the hop actually helps you in determining when tires are slipping/losing traction. I ran bwoody bars and sold them after the first weekend. worked well but I would not run them all the time. just put on for track day if you like them. mounts are ok but I think (but dont know) that control arm bushings is the way to go.

My setup for 13.9 was GMS2, Drop in filter K&N, Sportlines, then 24lbs in front tires and max pressure in the rear tires (50lbs?). also I had no wing. I left the lights from idle and left the line aiming for no wheel spin. I cut 2.17 60's 13.9 and 102.5mph. I have yet to see a faster 1/4 by another cobalt.

Kenny has come very close 14.0 @ 109! shot clutch.

hope that helps in your pursuit.

 

I had my fronts down to 28lbs, 24lbs i will definitly try next time. leaving the light from idle seems very tricky, ill definitly give it a shot forsure. getting 2.17's from IDLE is like WHOA wtf? but i believe u. do you think torque dampners wud be a help? (lookin for affordable traction mods)

 

I think tires would be a better mod personaly. the traction mods is the wrong title for what they do IMO. Anti wheel hop is more like it. but if you did poly bushings and tires that have better compound and wider and bigger side wall would be the best thing. I wanted to go with 245/45r17 on SS/na rims, but JP said no to even trade with a BJ on saturday night! so I didnt actually try it.

 

you shoulda thrown in a "rim job" to even it out a little better.

 

from the front it may have looked like the tc because i got the same grills he has.

we gotta try that again next week. like 3 honks and go kinda thing. i was never really sure when u gave it until i saw your taillights then i tried to catch up unsuccessfully . nice run for sure. when we were going i never really was pulling on you and u didn't seem to be pulling on me it like we were accelerating at exactly the same pace. i burned up almost 1/2 a tanks of gas yesterday.
what kind of hp are those pushing roughly?

 

Okay guys.... (This is mike)..... Say helllooo... To the free candy 4-runner... taking the crown from defending champion Jeff...
I'm gonna be like that creepy guy in sunday nights with the whistles and neons and bass in that suv...

 

I like. especially the bumper. anyblood on it? if not you should put it on for halloween.... :LOL:
