victory_red_SS goes RWD

[victory_red_SS]

Yes after not keeping this a real good secret I officially announce that I am going RWD. We are turning the engine 90 degrees, using a Tremec T56 paired to a Ford 9" rear end. We are also going the stand alone route for tuning. The details to the stand alone are not yet confirmed but I will know more in the next week or so. Obviously there will be no back seat and the whole car will be tubed. The roll cage will be minimized by the custom work done by Keith Losier and Desired Customs. There will be a custom console and back seat area to hide the tunnel alterations as well as rwd conversion. There are several changes to be made to allow for this conversion and some of those changes will remain hush, hush until the project is unvieled. The car will also be tubbed and I will have some serious tires back there. The d\r's will be a 17" 40 series, 390. The z rated street tires will also be as big as I can buy. I will be buying slicks as well as the d\r's for the track. I discovered that at "street legal nights" I am allowed to run an all out slick in the sport compact class, even with the rwd conversion.
This conversion solves many problems with traction\wheel hop\transmission\drive shafts and I have been on cloud nine since we made this change in the project's direction.

[g5mike]

[HackAbuse]

you should have gone twin-engine twin turbo though

like the AWD tiburon

[vtecduster]

TT and RWD.

By the time you get done all that cash could have gotten a 350Z and a TT setup

I always thought the Cobalt would have been the best car in 10 years if it came RWD. I have always hoped somone would do it. Good for you! I'm glad to see somone is doing it. It also explains why you were selling those parts. When you said you were taking it in a different direction I didn't think yo u mean this lol!!!!!

[NightriderCobaltSS]

[Shortbus]

I would love to know how much has been spent on your car when it get's finished.

[WnDwLcKr]

[Cobalt_SSTuner]

[mattyfinch]

I KNEW IT, I SAID THIS IN YOUR LAST UPDATE WHEN YOU SAID YOU HAD A SECRET woot.

[rick1217]

WOW! Thats awsome, keep us updated.... how long do you think before its drivable? We will need lots of pictures and videos.....haha.... Good luck!

How much is it going to cost to go RWD? I have also wondering about this in the future.....dont know if it will be worth it though.....

[88cobaltSS]

That will make some people go stupid when they see you doing a burnout at the track.

[plyboy-illest]

NICE!!!!

keep us updated

[USMCFieldMP]

It'll definitely confuse A LOT of people. There will be some dummy on a Honda forum, talking about how the new 08 Cobalts are out... and they have RWD, 2 turbos, and are FAST AS HELL!!! But it'll some how be no match for his V-Tec! Hahahaha
