Use your head NOT your ego
Dynojets have thier own weather station modules, you only have to input the elevation. By the way, i tried playing with the elevation for ***** and grins, made no difference in the final number!!! It boils down to the current local conditions and your cars output!

I get called out everytime i post with numbers! No hostility, just posting facts. If you don't believe dyno numbers, don't read'em, comment on them, or use them.
Do like i do, go to the track, see what works and what doesn't!!

Why? Because my comment is relevant to the content. It was stated that these cars don't run what they dyno at. IE, 1/4 mile performance for weight vs HP. There was also a comment about people lieing about dyno numbers and alleged 230hp stock cars!
Do you need more??
What year cobalt do you have?

More what? More of your complaining?
Oh, so to have an opinion or know anything on this board you have a Cobalt. Is that what you are suggesting?

270hp and 236lbft of torque on mismatched gearing doesn't = great 1/4 performance.
I know how allot of performance oriented items work but i don't go posting on the mustang, EVO, or SRT forums talking trash there. Why, because i don't own ,nor have ever raced one and don't know thier particularities. Don't worry, there are always trolls like you around. No biggie

PERFECT example, I raced a GTP on the street, from a 50 mph roll to 125mph, he couldn't get around me! He spun when he nailed it! The kicker, he just went 11.7@114 in that car!
Since he spun and i didn't, i got a headstart and it's hard to overcome that since the cobalt is pretty decent from a roll.
See my point?? Street comparisons SUCK!

Street comparos don't always suck. From a dead stop, they're pretty good. Of course you need to take into consideration wheelspin etc. When you start from a roll, and both cars downshift and hang with each other quite well, that to me seems like a good comparo. I know the track is the ultimate proving grounds, but I have no times yet because I broke a halfshaft the first run before the 60ft mark! I do see your point of view as well though.

This way we could have a way to quickly see what members are producing what numbers.
I thought this would be cool. Comments or Suggestions?

Yeah blame the gearing.
Tell me where I have ever trolled or talked **** about any cars?? I respect ALL cars. I was in the market a few months ago for a new car and I did my research, Cobalt just wasn't for me. I do really like the Cobalt and a lot of members on here so I hung around. I try to help keep the BS down and help with technical information when I can.
