Hey guys, I'm in Irwin. We have a car show/cruise every saturday just off the turnpike (irwin exit, west on rt30, 2nd light make left) so far I am the only one in an SS so come on out and hang for awhile.
Also, every thursday at Pittsburgh Raceway Park they have street wars. All street legal inspected rides from all over the area. I run in sport compact. Again the only SS on the track, sure could use some company.
Throw me a PM and we'll hook up sometime.

Every Thursday wheather permitting, gates open at 5:00
Time trials at 6:00, they try to get 4 TT's in before eliminations.

I missed the Shootout, had a few other things going on. Were there alot of cars?

I try to go to the Street Wars every week but do miss a few. PM me if your going and I will try like hell to be there. Maybe between us we can work out the launch problem.
See Ya! :cool:

Hey guys, not going to the track tonight, looks like rain.
Maybe next week. :)

Pittsburgh Raceway Park is right along Route 22. It's not a bad drive at all, depending on which side of the city you're on.

Well maybe we all can meet up somewhere with whoever is interested

Does anybody want to go tomorrow to the track?

Plans came up and I cant go....im fucking pissed...maybe next week hopefully...good luck to anyone that goes

Anyways, im sure we'll be up for meetin sometime..

Hey guys, why don't we try for the 4th of aug?
Test N Tune / Street Wars.
Met ToMeGun on the 28th, had a blast, alot of fast cars.
Whats nice about having the test and tune is you get to see
some awsome machines, Nitro cars and bikes, bring ear plugs :lol:

Im going to OC next week so count me out.. Ill meet up with you guys sooner or later

i raced a cobalt ss a couple wheels ago from a roll....
i punched it from 3rd and he was in 3rd too about 5 cars in front of me on 51, i started to catch up then he downshifted to 2nd at the next light and took off like a bat outa hell...

i hear these SS's fall on their face after 3rd gear.. is this true?

NO, actualy they fall on their face in 1st & 2nd (gearing) 3rd & 4th they pull very hard.
80 to 140mph is a snap!! Most all races Ive won were from behind and anyone with balls to race me for a 1/2 mile or more loses. Also, the handling is fantastic. These cars can easily take most turns at triple the speed limit, just don't hit the brakes, youll end up sideways. I raced a mustang a couple days ago on a back road, some straight sections but mostly turns and elevation changes. He was on my ass until we got into the curves, he didn't stand a chance, I lost him completely. I stopped to wait for him, he couldnt believe the car was stock. Anyway, the SS has no bottom end but goes like crazy on the top end!

I dont know about that i'd say first gear is pretty aggressive....you tap the gas barely and its like snap and your back in your seat

True, but its extremely short. I think it could use a few more teath and the gap from 1st to 2nd sucks, dont you think?

IMO i think that if you could raise the rev limiter to 7K that it would be fine...the people that ive raced 1st and 2nd gear is pretty much where i jump on the them, by 3rd ive pretty much already one the race and start pulling away

Hey every one please read the sticky in this section CobaltSS.Net is expanding and needs you.

A little late again I know, BUT...

I just checked PRP's website, says this Thursday, 29 Sept., is the last Thurs. nite for racing. Doesn't say Street Wars tho... anyone still going?

:cssNET:

I would really like to set up a group outing to PRP before the end of the summer...the only thing is it would need to be on a saturday. Other then that it would just be nice to find some other people in the area who own this vehicle. I have seen a handful but i cant ever catch anone on the same side of the road as me to ask them if they have done anything to the car, or if they have looked into parts for it. Keep posting here if you are interested in going out and terrorizing the great city of Pittsburgh with me one night.
I have an '05 Silver SS

LOL, I haven't seen a silver SS yet. I keep seeing one if not two other blue ones like mine and two red ones. I saw one yellow one but it was in Ohio. Those are the only SS's I've seen.

Just in my area i have seen a red one in passing, dont know where from, same for the blue one, and i know of a yellow one in Glassport...I looked at that car before I found this one at onother dealer. Other then those couple I havent seen anything else. I will have to take a couple of pictures and post them. Are there any mods that anyone has done yet or wants to do??

PittsburghSS you have a silver one? I think I seen you at the gas station in White Oak, I have a red base with no wheel covers. I've seen that yellow SS in McKeesport a few times. I work at White Oak Chrysler. A meet would definately be cool, I live in Jeannette, the car show in Irwin every saturday night is sweet. Always lots of cars there. PRP would be a good meet too, I can only meet on weekends though, work full time during the week

Well I am pretty sure I have seen you, and it was at the gas station. Where is the car show in Irwin, I havent ever seen it. I would also need to do anything on the weekend due to working Mon-Fri 3-11. We shall figure something out...I will be around

It's up where Hills used to be. If you're coming from White Oak go 30 east down into irwin, then turn right into the shopping plaza right past burger king, they have it in the parking lot across from advance and beer, bets, and butts

Hey guys, been to PRP a few times. Met ToMeGun there once, if you guys want to meet up let me know. Looks like rain though this thursday, if so we could do the Irwin car show.
Ive met only one other person there with an SS.

The Irwin show is in the Norwin Hills shopping center, every Saturday weather permitting.
Ive seen anywhere from 50 to 200 cars in there depending on the weather.
I don't go every Saturday but if you guys want to hook up there I'm in.
Let me know.

Directions: Get off Turnpike at exit 7 Irwin. Go west on Rt30 to the 2nd light, make left.
Your there!!! Most cars show at about 4PM.
If you get lost, find a nice ride and follow it. ;)

I think i can handle stopping up there on saturday. I am right now trying to have my exhaust and windows done...I dont like the fact that I cant get parts yet. Well if anyone else can get there it would be nice...what do you think around 4:00 or do you think earlier would be better??

I'll stop up at Norwin Hills on sat, dunno what time but they're there all night long, usually till 12 or so. 4 sounds good to me, let me know what you guys think I'll keep checkin the thread

I'm In !!! I'll see you guys Saturday around 4:00.
:cssNET:

Sounds good I'll stop up

I'm screwed- have to work all day Saturday. :( Oh well, another time I guess...

Just in case anyone sees me around, I have a straight-stock (for now) '06 LT. Hopefully soon I'll have an LS-style wing and 16" wheels... :)

Hey, even if you have to work, we're there long into the night. Stop out anyway.
Actualy after dark is when the fun starts!!
;)

I think I'm supposed to work till 7, so I might head out after I stop at home and get cleaned up. Haven't seen the weather for Saturday yet, but if it's decent and I get out of work on time I'll stop by.
:cssNET:

Weather is supposed to be beautiful all weekend, mid 70's no rain. And redrocket is right, after dark is when the fun starts :) Usually most of the cars are there around 7-8 anyway, lots of them stay well past midnight.

Hey guys, anyone in the pittsburgh area, come on out, the more people the more fun we'll have. The weather will be great, look forward to putting faces to the screen names.

See ya there!!! :cssNET:

So who will have the cleanest car???

Mine's in the detail shop here at work right now :D

I have to clean mine tomorrow...i also lost my keys today at work...that kinda sucked

Cleaned mine a couple days ago, no big deal though.
This is an informal show, most of the cars, even the very exotic are driven in.
Only a few arrive in trailers and thats on a very nice day, LIKE TODAY!

So don't worry about the dirt, just come to the show. You may be surprised at the cars you will have a chance to see. Some are very rare, you don't see cars like this for years
and they are driven in so you also get to hear and see them run.

So, all pittsburgh cobalt owners, stop in to the Irwin show, you won't be disappointed.
That goes for anyone else also, if you like cars, you should come.

See ya there, I'll be in the red SS/SC, of course :lol:

hi everyone... i live in the north hills area.... pittsburgh raceway is like my favorite place to go.... but... i work every thursday night?? do you go up any other times besides the test & tune night??

lemme know .... even if you just wanna meet up somewhere...

i have a red ss... there are some pics.... it was one of the featured ones a long time ago... like march or so... i was one of the first ones to get mine... in the video section there is a quick little vid of my car.... (its listed under skiboarder311, but thats actually my car )....

Went to the Irwin show tonight, but I got there late so I missed most of the cars... :mad: But did get to meet redrocket and PittsburghSS... both with sweet cars!!

I plan on heading down again next Saturday (weather permitting), earlier this time. Lets get some more representation from the Cobalts!!

:cssNET:

I couldn't make it, my girlfriend wrecked her car saturday afternoon had to help her out. I'll be up next weekend.

Bought a 06 Yellow SS/SC today.

Don't feel bad, it's looking like a wash-out anyway. :(

i would like to try to get up to the next one this sat is a wash out but maybe not it looks like it amy slow up later hopefully if not today when is the next one :)

I'll be up there this saturday, probably around dark time 7-7:30 ish

Hey guys.

Just got my Cobalt SS a few days ago.

I'm from Imperial. Think West Allegheny HS. Or, it's right by Moon. The airport is in Moon...so yeah. lol.

I don't know if anyone suggested a club yet...but I'd be all up for making some sort of Pittsburgh area Cobalt or Cobalt and J body club...or something like that. Have meets, cruises, a site. The like.

Hit me up if there is a club, or if you guys would like to make one!!
