Yes everyone come to concord so I'm not the only cobalt haha

 

You should be paying for me. I worked full time and did college full time at night. This fall I'm starting it all over again. Working full time and doing law school at night. Or maybe you should pay for me in appreciation of my 25 years of military service. Either way, if someone paid for me I'd be happy.

Besides, I don't want any particular person to go karting. What I was hoping was to meet and drive with some Cobalt owners. Ideally I could find someone really fast that I could learn from. If not, then maybe I could pass on some knowledge to a slower person(s). I know most people on this forum just want a faster motor and some bling on their car. They think that makes "them" faster. Being a faster driver doesn't have a lot to do with the car. Ding, Ding, Ding,........ It's the driver, not the car. All the stupid street race videos are ridiculous. Who cares? I can and do read all the tests to find out which cars are faster than other cars in a straight line. Mashing the gas pedal and looking down the road doesn't take any talent. It also doesn't improve any skills you need to keep yourself alive while driving daily on the road ways with all the completely retarded drivers. The skills you learn on a track will not only improve your car control ability, they will improve your survivability.

What ever people decide to do is fine. I just try to offer up productive options to help the group. If people would rather hang out and look at cars, or spend their time and money adding a new down pipe etc, it's up to them.

 

I disagree about your straight line comment. I do agree that it takes a driver to go around a track. I'm be down to do this and I just mentioned myself going because I can't speak for anyone else. I'm a full time college student with 2 part time jobs.. I'm still saving and I have a big trip with this GF I'm saving for this summer. How much does this cost....

 

Retirement pay must be nice. What branch did you retire from? I'm doing my 6 years and going reserves

 

what brach are you in blackcobalt707? i leave for the marines in a month or so...

 

im in the air force, 3 1/2 years strong and sayin **** it, im out

have fun in the marines, be over seas for a year or so come back sell the LS and get a TC...better yet get a G8 GT put about $2000 in it and be runnin mid-high 11s

 

Like I said earlier... going to a beerfest and leaving tonight. Maaaybe next Friday I can make it... Also, I'm afraid to hang around the Corvette guys... Too much peer pressure to buy one! (Why do C5 Z06's have to be a meager 20k!!)

 

Real drag racing does take skill and a skilled drag racer will beat a non skilled drag racer in close to equal cars. No matter how good a drag racer you are, you are not likely to beat an average driver in a much faster car in a drag race. Road racing, off road racing, etc is not the same. A good driver in a much slower car can kick the poo out of an average driver in a faster car. The skill level is much more important. Of course like I mentioned earlier, racing skills may save your life when driving on the road. Drag racing skills, not so much.

They're cheap so that Cobalt owners can afford them and find out how amazingly fast you can really go for $20,000.

But every tom, dick and harry drives a vette..Its just like the mustangs yeah they fast they cool, there is an amazing array of parts and knowledge about them along with dozens of clubs, forums etc. I like Vettes myself but have other cars id put before one. Truth be told im sure most cobalt owners got theirs for one reason or another but im sure some of the reason(s) is because it is something unique and different and..(dare i say it) its not a honda

 

Looks like the Norcal Cobalt people missed out. It was $60 for an hour of racing since they have a half price deal from 10 to midnight on Friday and Saturday nights. There were some fast guys and hardly any slow people so the racing was close and fun.

What happened?

 

Brad.. Tony.. 707.. (forgot your name!) thanks for comin' out tonight fellaz! Some stuff went down after you all left.. I just got home... Same thing next week good ****

 

Yea, too bad SRT-4 Turbo power is too fast at top end lol.

 

Names Antonio lol. No problem, I appreciate the invite. I wish I could've went last week. People come out deeper here and with better cars

 

u ran the e85 srt4?

 

Yeah he wanted to run me..

Something like full bolt ons + e85... He beat me. Bout a car and a half. Fun night tho!

Also a 450whp evo got pulled by trainlengths by a big turbo srt4

 

What do you expect though lol, They only have like every advantage possible over you lol. 2.4L, Turbo, Lighter, and Better Gas lmao.

 

Damn, I wanted to see the runs. You got video?

 

thats it? i would expect it to of been worse

 

Yeah I thought it would be worse too..

He trapped 107 on street tires and 91.. so I expected his top end to be a little better than that considering he should be trapping 110+ on e85



Antonio.. I think jason has some videos

 

Right on Chris, next week man..sounds like we left a lil too early tho..lol

which one had the e85? Cuz i know the white srt was the big boy, ****** sounded mean but kewl kewl. Next week

 

The e85 one was the black one w/ no spoiler.. it's a little faster than the white one.

Yeah man the random/fun **** always happens at the end usually!

 

Wooot, My car's almost done. Finally. O yea, Chris I do have the vids from last night, might post em tomorrow night or something.

Hit up this link if you wanna see what I got done today.
