good runs, i love the sound of those 302's. Theyre pretty harmless on stock heads though. Heads, cam and intake is the key to a rowdy 5.0

I love how the driver of the rustang was sitting so far foreward and it looked like he whas shifting a tractor his throws were so long.

Well rwd will still spin out of the hole if you don't have it set up to launch as the stang guy demonstrated, awd will shoot out of the hole like a rocket. I don't blame the guy for not racing the STI from a dig. Got to even it out the awd traction some how

Woulda had the STI if you were Trifecta tuned. Specially once you hit 4th gear.

Any AWD car are beasts from a dig, even factory AWD car's record good times in the 1/8th mile.

I got a little story about Fail Wheel Drive.
I took my HHR SS to get it Dyno'd last Saturday and the guy told me to back in. So I started to back in and realized he thought I was rwd I turn around and pull up and said its fwd man, I wish it was rwd. Then I had to tell him about the HHR SS, the LNF engines, etc.
Amazing how little people know about my car (even less then Cobalt ss/tc), and especially the LNF engine. GM's marketing team are idiots, they have this kickass, high tech, 4 cylinder turbo that gets 30 mpg and the majority of the automotive world has no idea. The only GM car they know in America that came with the 4cyl turbo are the Solstice and Sky redlines

I actually like it better that way... The less the people know, the more priceless their expression is when they are beat by an econobox.

The less that are sold, the less after market to come out and companies aren't going to poor money into R&D for our engines if there's not a lot of money to be made. The less companies developing parts, the more the companies that do make parts can charge.

What gears on the 302?

You should have been able to beat him even on stock tune if he is on stock heads.

Lol agreed. I love it!!!

I'm not a big street racer as I think for the most part it's pretty stupid, however I was driving home it was dark on a 4 lane road and there where no cars in front or behind for quite some time except for a Mercedes C32 AMG (I think it was an 04ish) the ones with the 330HP Supercharged V6 right beside me. He pinned it and as did I at about 60km/h (30mph ish) to 160km/h (90ishMPH) and when I had a couple cars on him by the end I must say he was not too pleased that his $70,000cdn sports sedan got walked by a Cobalt, it's moments like that, that make me
