Traction!! Cobalt v. SRT4
First of all this isnt a war story.
Just think about how alot of people complain about there traction and how bad it is when most of the time there are is under 250whp. How the hell can an SRT4 with stg 3 at like 350whp have pretty decent traction. What do they have that the cobalt doesn't. besides obviously the tires what else? Does buying wider rims make that much of a differece either?

I had an srt-4 and everyone i know had traction problems... basically we feather the clutch(AKA Burn the clutch alittle) at the line and then when you feel traction... dump the clutch the rest of the way

I put my boost in first to 50%. It is nice to not do a burn out all the time. I need to raise the boost to 100% after 5k Rpm's. It does help alot to limit the boost in first.
