Ran my buddy's dad's LS3 Vette tonight.. figured it'd pretty much be a wash, but believe it or not, I got 1 car on him from 50-145 mph.. he started to catch up and proceeded to pass me at around 145 or 150 mph after I hit 5th gear. Vette is bone stock with an auto.. I'm Trifecta tuned with CIA boost tubes, K&N SRI, ZZP Downpipe, ZZP ported head with stage 1 cams and a ZZP FMIC(which has not been tuned for yet). I'm still getting 3 degrees of knock roughly, at certain rpms, and am in need of a re-tune. Once it's dialed in, it'll pull more I'm sure. I have witnesses also.. my buddy in his Cobalt with another Cobalt guy as well lol.. they couldn't keep up to us :P
From a dig.. there's no chance; it'd have to be done on the track with at least drag radials to be even somewhat close.. wish I had that kind of traction damnit!

Now to go pick on a certain cocky clown with an ISF Apparently he needs to be taken off of his high horse, according to my buddies.

Good kill. I have a video of ne beating an ls3 vette from about the same race as yours. The one I raced was a manual tho.

Vids of your car?

please tell me how that auto is "killin" him.....

I very, very, very strongly suspect a driver mod for 'vette. By 100, I suspect you should have been very quickly reeled in, with such a short car length.

But - creds to ya! I had a fun time with a Porsche 996 a couple days ago - I saw the "turbo" badge, but went for it anyway. We were both getting on the highway, and I squirted by him. I expected an immediate rape-age, but he was somehow suddenly second-guessing.

Now that I've had a few days, I realize he made the right decision. If he challenged me and lost, he'd have to deal with the emotional consequences of losing to a Cobalt. If he raped me, he only would have been playing into the game and proving absolutely nothing by beating a far-more-underpowered sedan. He had nothing to prove, 'cause his car is pure sex, and mine is pure Hertz.

I wish I had vids.. I don't have a cam, but the other 2 guys who were following behind us, in another modded and tuned Cobalt that ran 13.2 a couple years back, couldn't keep up to us at all. I told them they should've videoed it lol. NO excuse imo :P I woulda loved to have seen the flames shoot out my back pipe when I shifted gears lol.. they said it was about 3 feet long lmao.
Also, I've heard that the auto C6s are faster in the quarter.. not sure if that's true or not, but I know for sure there ain't no driver mod excuse for losing to a manual Cobalt ::
It was an awesome race really.. I held that car length on him until 135 or 140 before he started reeling me in.. the change to 5th and it was over for me.. wouldn't really call it a kill cuz I know he'll top out at 170+ whereas I'd be lucky to hit 165 on a downhill with a tailwind, and that's if the car didn't go airborne in the process lol
My car still looks stock..kind of a sleeper. Only real indication is the exhaust note and the big FMIC hiding behind that cheap plastic mesh that Chevy put down below lol
The head/cams have a more aggressive exhaust note under WoT, but sounds stock at idle, unless it's cold.. then you might hear a little lope here n there for maybe 30 seconds.

Driver mod in an automatic?

All you do is put your foot down.

Or, the more challenging scenario, put it in M and tap a paddle with your foot planted...

I very, very, very strongly suspect that a driver mod in the Vette was not the issue.

Gobolt210

i need to get a run in with a c6, preferably auto and not modded to kill. may stand a better chance

SSSnoop

Autos do not mean no driver mod required, especially in an auto that can clip off high 11 second quarter mile times and breaks 4 second 0-60's, which is where every LS3 'vette I know can run (although most have mild add-ins, they're otherwise stock). Its not too difficult to launch like a fool in a 'vette even with GM's driver-friendly ****, and Lord knows there's lots of fools driving 'vettes. Still like hearing a good 'balt-spanking-something, but I'm hella-surprised he wasn't overtaking like a fiend by 100-110.

Any hp numbers on the 'balt?

You planning on coming to the track this year. If so i can't wait to lose to you lol. Any idea when castrol opens?

Knightwolf

April 27th it opens.. however, I won't have a tune revision until afterwards and most of my buddies are goin this weekend.. Sucks! I want to go, but I'd rather go when I'm 100% and not 90% or so. I also have to book 2 days off which will cost me $500 lol.. so it's an expensive proposition for me.

I don't have any dyno #'s on the balt, but if a stock Vette is 430 at the crank, and only 200 lbs. heavier than a Balt.. well you do the math :P
