100 posts already bitches Whats going on tonight?

 

Bass Pro for me and Joe 3 in a bit.

Dan's punk ass might make an appearance with camera.

I contacted old man Joe and Connor and I talked last night, unsure if they're coming or not. Joe said MSNBC news is hosting a special and Connor is busy making his car baby friendly. I kid, I really don't know about those two.

 

Maybe i should roll by for a hot min

 

Will text you once there.

 

You also haven't raced very many Cobalts out here. Hook up an interceptor and tell us what's happening with your car. I'll guarantee that it takes more than a minute for the iat2 temps to drop when you're just sitting there. In an air-to-water cooling system you need circulation for cooling.

 

this debate can go on for a while, but you've only raced a handful. and there aren't but one or two that can attest to your car being fast. just about everyone that i've hung out with besides you knows about my car and how fast it was. i have yet to lose to any cobalts in this state, and i doubt that will ever change. had my car still been running now, i would have destroyed you. even with nitrous. i also know that some on here have been waiting for me to speak on this since i like to be silent on the subject. the simple fact is that your setup can't take a sustained full throttle run. quick and fast is nice but i have something better in mind.

how about this. i put twenty dollars on bennyhhr being able to stay within two carlengths of you or beat you in a race to 100. i have nothing against you, and i'm cool with you, but i'd like to get to see for myself what your car can do.

i don't want to start a war or anything, but let's put the claims aside and actually race when we get the chance.

btw, saying something is overrated IS the same as saying it's unimportant.

 

oh **** son!

 

thats true its almost like using a word like "misunderestimated" (Former Pres. George W. Bush) He's the only guy I know of that can make 2 negative prefix's in the same word work...lol

 

they asked him to sum up his campaign in 1 word he said STRATEGERY

 

number one i have raced plenty of balts around here. I have been in this area with my balt before anyone was even coming around here. Number two i have raced and demolished many v8's corvettes modded camaros etc. I have nothing to prove and would luv to run you but your car isnt on the road long anough or you always have **** going on with it. I just picked up my G85 transmission now im deciding on which clutch to go with. And you being the fastest coblat in the state and probably always will be is a bold statement. Mind you i havent modded my car internally yet but trust me she will be coming off the road this spring and you can bring whatever you got i look forward to the challenge. And no offense but i made more torque on my 2.7 then you did with your tvs setup. When the spring comes ill see you at the dragstrip If ull come because whenever i go no other cobalts will. Funny i didnt see anyone from the local area on the throwdown list either except my car hmmm

and ive always had an aeroforce gauge, with a wideband hooked up

 

kenny, you say your car makes more torque than mine. no proof to back up your statements. where's your dyno sheet? and no one really cares that you have beaten v8 corvettes. when was the last time that they made a v6 corvette? you have nothing more than claims that you post. i have nothing to prove to anyone either but people can see that the claims i've made aren't just dropping from the sky. my car will be back together soon, and i'd like to see how far you are going to push that m62 out of it's efficiency. i'm sure you already know that you're overspinning it.

and yes. we will be at the track to run.

 

FAIL! A wideband has nothing to do with ait2's.

See bolded part. It's a contradiction. Either race, or shut up. You're talking about 2 different things at the same time. It's just like talking out of both ends simultaneously. You also don't say anything about which track you're at, or when. Only time we knew you were racing was when Steve went and told us you were there, whcih is after the fact.

The only legit part I can see about your post is the possibility that you made more torque than Danew while you were on 2.7. Completely possible. However, Danew was also on a much larger pulley. People who know anything about supercharger pulleys will tell you that although a smaller pulley does increase both torque and horsepower, it increases torque more. Compare GM stage 1 to GM stage 2. GM stage 1 only provides injectors and tune. GM stage 2 adds a pulley. The horsepower change from stage 1 is minimal when upgrading to stage 2, where as teh torque is much greater in stage 2.

As for Danew's problems with his car. I dare you to let Justin touch yours. Unfortunately, you now know that Justin is **** and probably wouldn't let him touch it, thanks to Danew (who really hasn't said much), Steve, and myself. We all got burned by him. I was able to get mine and Steve's stuff back from Justin, but Danew had it much worse. Nobody predicted Justin was as worthless as he is. He came off as a reputable character to a few people, including myself. It wasn't until a few people had been taken advantage of when we realized what happened. You don't see Danew crying about it either. He took it like a man and is fixing the problem. However, I've seen both yours and his cars run. Danew's was much faster. Remember, torque will only get you so far, usually 5,252 rpms. Once you're past that point, horsepower means more. Danew got you there, and can back it up.

As for a track, an oval is bullshit. On an oval you are not comparing speed. You are comparing traction and cornering in comparison to your ability to brake. Go ask the guy in the green foxbody mustang that wrecked when I was there all about it. He forgot about the braking part. Find a straight line and stick with it. You wanna talk ait2's, I'll put it up in a long run, at least a mile long. See my sig. Let's see how fast your car drops off in the top half. I can see timing being pulled and COT kicking in, if you still have that on. I quarantee that I'll beat your speed and time at that the one mile mark, and I'm not even running a 2.7. Hell, let's go do some cometition drag racing and see the results with who is more consistent. I'm already looking to run a 2 mile straight so that I can be certified, and receive my license in the 150 club. That takes serious cooling when you're at WOT the whole time. You wanna really race? A drag stip will make you do quick back-to-back's if you advance far enough as the competition gets eliminated. Failure to cooldown accordingly will make you slower, and less consistent, eventually costing you the race.

As for why I'm not up on a throwdown list, I didn't race last year. Working fulltime, school fulltime, and adjusting to the other side of the country can be very time consuming, especially when you buy a house. I'm looking to change all of that next month though. Now I don't have a boss that is a tyrant bitch that won't let you have days off to race. My new boss will work with me so that I can race again. I've already started talking to both Richmond and Dinwiddie to find out which category I should be in, and which track I'd rather race at. According to Mapquest, the time difference in getting to the track from my house is 4 minutes. We'll see where I end up. You're more than welcome to meet at the track I decide to race at if you wanna put up the actions to support your talk.

 

did i say a wideband has anything to do with IATS? no i said i have an aeroforce and a wideband learn how to read. And claims, theres a video of me beating a vette on here and on RLF. (and also a dyno sheet of my car clearly showing it made more torque than danew) And me racing at langley and not giving you heads up you told me that YOU WOULDNT run ur car there. u had plenty of warning, you said you were worried about smacking the wall and wouldnt run. I have been around this area far longer than danew or connor. If u guys wana turn this into a pissing contest lets do it then. Ive run at langley, richmond dragway and dinwiddie. No one would ever come out there with me or have any slips of their own. I dont make claims I DO THIS FOR A LIVING i have more experience on mechanics and cars than any of you period. And am CERTIFIED. Thats the problem with cobalt guys theyre hilarious. Which is why at the shows youll see me with cobras, vettes and other fast cars. the type of people that own these cars and their attitudes are rediculous. Thats why when people hear i own an SS theyre like man thats a weird crowd.

and justin used to wash ******* cars at the dealer he was never a certified tech. I knew that and when he claimed he has an SS/SC and never did he had a 2.4l It wasnt an insult to danew all i said was i always hear about his car but he always has problems with it. AND ive even offered to help him fix his car when we talked on the phone.

i didnt say what setup im gonna run, or which route ill decide to go. But you can be sure it will be a force to rekon with. Im done with the pissing contest with everyone one here. This is one main reason i dont frequent the forums. and im sorry you learned the hard way that the only way to know your car is done right is to do it yourself period

 

...This is like one of the first heated arguments I've witnessed on the forums in the 2.5 years I've been on here..

Anywho...Steve-O text or pm me the details for Saturday. I'm taking the 2.4 out on a much needed road trip.

 

they turned it into a heated arguement. I dont make calims. Theres more than one person on this board that witnessed me beat the vette back when everyone raced. And there is a video of it. As well as the modded LS camaro that was talking ****. that was the nite daniel was out there and i raced a fully built cobra and stayed at his door when i got my street racing charge.

 

strategy? i was thinkin his own campaign couldve been about *OIL*

 

kenny, look at the end of the first post i put up there. i never made this heat up. you took it as a personal shot. i said i hadn't seen any proof, and wanted to see some. you criticize the group here, and why? i've been in this area for five years, so what? that means nothing. what does your time in the area say about you? you like to hang with the big boys..., great. i'm not going to drive from virginia beach just to stand in a parking lot and shoot the ****. but the thing that gets me is that you feel you have to keep reminding people you are a certified gm tech. i don't have to let people know that the gear i work on everyday costs more than the total amount of every car they've ever touched. i take pride in my job but refrain from throwing it in people's faces. what we should be concerned with is helping each other out. i do what i can, when i can, and i expect you to do the same. our time here doesn't matter...we come and go as the military commands. but lets make each other better while we're here.

 

I dunno, slips don't lie, I have yet to see anyone hit my mark with a 2.7.
Then again, Cesar and me went at it a few times and he pulled like a raped ape. I know his car was no where near a 12.9 run....then again, the 12.9 wasn't after driving a few hours either.
I guess you can compare it to that football adage...any given Sunday..!!

 

1) I've been to Dinwiddie. Steve was there. He witnessed me pop my slave cylinder. Where were you? As for the day I was at Langley, not only did I arrive too late to register, but I also promised my wife I won't race there until I have another car.

2) Bullshit you've run with a fully built Cobra, Terminator or not. Fully built Cobras run better than high 12s.

3) Certification only means you passed a test. Some of us have done more than you give credit for.

4) Not only have I driven more expensive cars than GM makes, but I've had my hands under the hood too. See, I can play that game too.

5) Reading didn't fail me. Grammar failed you. It's one thing to help your uncle jack off a horse. It's another thing to help your Uncle Jack, off a horse. The point being: there is no point in bringing up a wideband when the discussion is about something unrelated. Therefore, you only looked stupid bringing up the wideband. Try sticking to the subject at hand.

you forgot to end rant connor... lol

 

On a lighter note I suppose, me, Steve, Dan, Joe #2 and #3 took some great pictures today with the nice weather. Hopefully some will get posted here soon so you guys can check them out

 

The weather was quite pleasant today.

 

Oops, you're right. Edited.

Hmm. Must be a peninsula thing. Let's see them pics.

Yes it was. Did you get any work done on your motor today?

 

This may be my hobby, but you're insulting a wide range of people here some whom do have an ounce+ of respect for you. However I don't play the superior card over a certification and the being in the "cool crowd". I honestly have taken my car to you when it needed an alignment and a tire repair because it's Firestone's equipment and I want someone I can trust to do the above work as it's clearly something I could not solely perform. Though if I'm another "stupid Cobalt guy" I'll gladly go elsewhere.

I don't need to talk myself up, my past cars nor anyone whom has wrenched beside me will measure my dick with two rulers. God that sounded great in my head! Nah, on the serious note I know what I do and how I do it, and everyone else can keep it moving because I sleep at the end of the night knowing my ****'s right and it's a Cobalt. Not worth an internet battle of epic proportions!

Big pissing match for no reason, so everybody please continue with the heatsoak and circle racing debate. I enjoy it .

For the weird crowd guys, here's our pictures-

Thats great.


Honestly I think what does bring this group of owners down is the fact that there are so many with the "I cant be beat" mentality. There's only but so much, I beat this car, I beat that car, and I have this many Mr. Ed's up under my hood that people will listen to before they get annoyed. Thats why I never talked about the junk up under the hood of my car. For all the bs being done to these cars and money being spent not very many just up and left me like they were that much faster, maybe make more noise but thats about it... and everyone knows I'm still on a GM stg 2 tune and thats not the greatest either
