lol. I was kidding. Tuning ve is enough of a pain in the ass, but I guess cams are worth looking into for the power. If your gonna do cams, might as well port the head, put on a ls1 tb, harrop 1320 & 79#'rs. Although you'll prolly need 3 inch header back for that...

I never Said I have 200whp, Actually I am thinking after my tune I will have about 175whp, and about 165 torque!!
Lets see the mod list CAI, 2.4l throttle body and intake manifold, Ceramic long tube headers, 3inch downpipe with high flow cat. and a 2.5inch exhaust, A mrz underdrive pully and a ingles torque dampener.
I joke when i say i can compete with FI, But seriously you are retarded if you dont think that with a tune I will not easyly take a 2.4. Right now ( before i put on the intake mani and throttle body and underdrive, which are going on right before the tune) I am nose and nose with kris's 2.4l ss. maybe a little slower down low but definatly faster after about 100 kms.
So how about you stop talking **** about my ******* car. And maybe only talk when you know a full story. If youre talking about me saying I can take a subaru, I ask you when I said that and please quote the exact ******* convo. if your talking about the tech at southgate I told him If I twin charged It I could beat him. so maybe get your facts straight.

hahaha sounds like someone runs their mouth a little too much! can't keep all your stories straight? and you did tell me you were at about 200 hp without a tune! you know nothing about cars and you just say things that you think people will believe. when people don't correct you because it is more fun when you run your mouth about things you know nothing about!
A I4 only has 1 header so unless you swapped a 6 cyl in there you can only have one! just so ya know!
And just let me know if you really want me to remind you which conversation it was. it wouldn't look too good for you in the end!
ya it's my sisters friend. she wants to buy it for he kid but she doesnt want to pay more than 5K. that just barely covers the rims! lol

Well I guess that is good enough for me. I never bough the car to be fast when I got it. I just like doing things to it, cuz its fun and it keeps me busy.
At the end of the day you all have cobalts too, and in 5 more years they will be worth nothing.
so if you would all like to join in on the bashing be my guest. I thought this was a car enthusiest club, but we have learned that its less about the cars and more about drama.

Its all about the cars and no one is bashing you. We're just trying to teach you. You're making the car out to be more than it is. Listen and learn and think 3 or 4 times before opening your mouth as there are a lot of good people on here with lots of knowledge. Besides we've seen enough idiots around here and that's what draws such harsh responses when you made your claim about being able to beat a 2.4.
Ps. I was just teasing you with the picture.

for the record I don't think anyone here though Jon was talking about you (or anyone else local who comes here)...
at least that's my take.
if you're game for racing @ RC, I'm all for it;
you're more than welcome to check my car out in advance, there's absolutely nothing trick about it - I started racing it becasue I couldn't race my Firebird... so it was cheap fun...

hahaha well who brought the drama? you did! you always do. you can't take criticism anytime, anywhere.
and yes after it's all said and done we all still have cobalts worth less each day but you don't hear about most people on here claiming that they can beat this or they got more hp than that. it's people like you who make cobalt's look bad by running their mouths and when someone calls you on it you back peddle and say you didn't say this or it was that. you need to think about what your saying and get off your high horse! your not better than everybody just because you think you are!!!!!
Take that with whatever salt you want.
It has always been about the cars and the friendships here. atleast it is too me!!!
That's my rant for the month!

I saw it at Park Place, black with high rise. Seen it once around town too. A while ago I also saw a girl driving a white one with high rise that followed me leaving the mall all the way up Jerry Potts. Probably not from town cause I haven't seen the car since then. I've also seen an older guy in a black one with low wing, had a Shaganappi sticker so also likely from Calgary. Those are the only TC's I've seen down here. Murray just sold the red one they had so it might be in town too. Overall there's not many SS's down here period. I have not seen an arrival blue or silver SS/SC at all. No yellow ones besides yours. 2.4's and G5 GT's everywhere though... everybody's mom has one.

ya i figured the 2 from murrays got sold cus i havent seen them on that lot in a while. there was a red one at the university for a while but i havent seen it since school ended. it looked like it had some stuff done to it. i parked beside it all the time but never had the chance to talk to the owner.
