God I can't wait to get back and hit the strip again! Only 12 days and I'll be home! Check out them slicks and that CXRacing FMHE!

 

still slow

 

not the point. I'm just ready to hit the strip again. 4 months in the desert for the WHOLE summer FTL.

 

Wooo....

 

I can do 4 months blindfolded and without masturbation. HAHA. Army 12+ months, FTL.

 

yea, ummm. Not for me. Air Force. I'm married with 2 kids. This was my first deployment too. It wasn't bad, I'm just ready to come home.

 

I hear you man. It's never easy.

 

you can bring sexy back...

I'LL bring chevy back!! lol, i'm hitting the track soon too

 

I see nothing sexy here.

 

hey now, rally yellow is sexy.

 

not as sexy as victory red

 

I beg to differ. lol. But at least it's cobalt ss.

 

be sure to let us know when you are going out there, if I'm free I'd love to come out and see it.

You are from the KC area, right?

 

Rally yellow is sexy....and you're still slow. Enjoy beating the **** outta your car.

 

yobrididey, I'm not from the KC area, but I live just south of Omaha and it's about a 3hr drive that I make regularly. I'll for sure post up when I'm going. I should have dyno numbers before I go too so that I can see how much I gained and what to expect at the strip.

Doc, WTF is your problem with me?

 

Have fun with it man . Hopefully ya keep gaining with the stock pulley . That quest is over for me , so I'll be curious whats goin on with ur SS .

 

I want slicks :-/ good luck tho. I'm going to the track once I install my cxr h/e...whenever it comes in. I won't have a tune like you but hopefully I throw down some decent numbers.

 

no issues...relax and enjoy, you'll be home soon.

 

well, right now I'm just trying to get 12's. So I'm actually finally adding a pulley. 2.9 pulley. But if I'm able to get my 12's, and I'm pretty positive that I will, I need to chill out with the engine mods for a while. I need an interceptor guage and a wideband gauge to monitor stuff and I would like to do some other things here and there to make the car look better. I like being stock looking and wingless, but I think I'm going to drop it and add a bmw M3 style spoiler, real small lip off the trunk. Should look great, already a few ss owners running it. Suspension wise, I'm thinking megan racing coilovers. Also would like to get a vented hood or a hood scoop, I just want cooler air in the engine bay. I dunno if I'll change the rims out, as I have the stock gunmetal rims and I really like them. I think I may just upgrade to some bfg's on the stock rims for everyday use.

Next season I may drop back to the stock pulley just to play around with it and see how far I can take it. But I'll be keeping the 2.9 around just in case. I won't ever drop below the 2.9 pulley.

I tell ya man, ever since picking up these slicks, it's been A LOT more fun. You got a think, I've owned a few DSM's before this, so FWD was really kicking my ass for a bit. I can shift fast as lightning, and I can find really good shift points no matter what car I got. But launching was definite problem in this car up until I picked up these slicks. Now if only I can get some more power and keep the rear end from squatting I'll be able to cut sub 2.0 sixty foots.

I reccomend slicks if you ever plan to get serious at the track.

that's cool man, i figured you were just hazing, had to check though. I'm kind of uptight after being here and being around ******** for a while. It's cool though.

 

Brad i think your a sexy beast!! But my car is sexier im sorry!

 

Slicks on my yellow cobalt > your orange with rims

lol. I love you too, in a non homo way of course.

 

Nooo wayy!!! Sunburst orange metallic> ALL!!!!!!!! And my car sounds sexy as hell!!!

Id hope a non-homo way haha!

 

cutout FTMFW, lol. Nasty race car sound > any exhaust. My car under full throttle just sounds like boost. Ugly but it's great.

 

8.8 @ 80 is pretty crazy, i went 9.5 @ 80 with a horrible 60'.

like you say, slicks seem to be the anwser. i wish i had tried them this year

 

8.7@80 is my best at MAM. MAM is a little higher elevation and I usually run a tenth quicker down at KCIR.

I'll see if I can find that 8.7 run again, I posted it a while back.
