13.1 was on dr's but i launched at like 4k like i used to when it was sc'd but it just kept bogging down then taking off... i needed to launch higher but ran out of time/passes. never even made it to high boost i think i squeezed in 18lbs at one point at the top of third but other than that they were all 16psi runs (4) then on my last run i lowered the tire pressure upped the launch control to 5k and i just blew the tires off in first so i never found the sweet spot...
but i drove 2hrs to a track iv never been to, on dr's by myself made 5 runs and drove home with the car in one piece so all in all it was a spur of the moment but successful trip! it was also the first time since iv went t/c so it was a mild day nothing crazy, i didnt no lift shift and i never even launched hard/properly... i was worried about breaking my tranny. i have every other thing as far as mounts and axles just was being a ***** about it.
but everything went smooth and i trapped 114-115 on 16psi everytime, so im sure i can pull some 12's out of her just all in time and i have access to a trailer and truck which now i have more confidence in launching it harder and no lift shifting possibly... im still on stock clutch so with the dr's i cant really NLS it just slips the clutch. i can get away with it once or twice till the clutch gets hot then it just slips untill i let off...

i ran a 13.1 on low boost with a shitty 2.3 60ft... but i picked up 30mph in the back half

im trying to dump my DR's for a set of ET's that are 7lbs lighter each... then i wont be so worried about the tranny/axles... but as of now a dr on a steelie weighs 53.8lbs... that is sooooo much i cant imagine how the tranny feels, thats 7lbs heavier than stock... so if i could get my slick to weigh in at stock weight or lighter then that would be optimal
this was my fastest time slip,
60' -- 2.213
330 -- 5.795
1/8 -- 8.648
mph -- 84.62
1000 -- 11.140
1/4 -- 13.194
mph -- 114.60

You have no idea what you are talking about.
1. my car has the GMPP stage 3 kit, which the pcm sprays at 3500rpm and at full throttle. Making it impossible to spray off the line.
2 car has traction issues due to the the dry shot, it made over 300 tq at about 3800 rpms, this makes the tires spin.
3. my car is a one legger, there is no 2 tires spinning, just one.
4. I had drag radial and guess what, it spun them.
5. I'd like to run your car, let's see if yo can drive as good as you think
6. I dought any cobalt will hit a low 13 in Fontana, I've never seen it, has anyone???
MarqueDo7BabyBalt, thanks for your logical thinking.

Lol.
All I gotta say:
You're retarded and can't run a low 13 second quarter mile in your 274whp cobalt.
You are fail.
End of story.
