Lol. I'm not real sure my car is faster than his. He's only 17 and I'm not letting him race me until he spends some more time behind the wheel of this car but who do yall think would win?

 

He will definitely get you. GSX with similar mods ran 11.95 at 113 mph

 

I sure hope that when you do race, you take it to a track...

 

gsx is awd gst i believe is still front wheel drive.
i doubt a gst with those mods runs that time.

anyways, i wouldnt go right ahead and say he will take you. i think it will be a close race depending on the tune you guys are on..

 

you do realize the difference between gsx and gst don't you

 

Here is a pic of his car. Not to bad to be a 97 model

 

it'll be close on street tires prob the gst if it catches, track with real tires id have to give it to the gst also lol.

 

True. But even if the son does spin he could still run him down. Or just get some radials

If dad wants to win then he will get radials for the cobalt and not the son

 

oh god lol. first mods should be stock body kit back on that.

 

That's a pretty close match up there. Honestly I think it's a drivers race.... and man I hope to GOD you can out drive your 17yo son!

Here's an idea, get one of your buddies to do a few runs against you in the balt and see what happens..

 

Haha that kinda makes me mad. I paid $6k for his car and $19k for mine. Lol o well that's the way it goes.

 

Ya we will have to take them to the local track this summer and see what happens

 

if it hasn't broke down by then .......i say that jokingly but not really...lol.

 

wow that thing is terrible looking. def put the stock body kit back on and paint it one color. imo its super riced out. and in respect to the race i used to have a talon with similar mods makin jus over 350whp and it was faster than a lnf with an intake and tune.

but in the end it always comes down to the driver, some people never learn how to launch a car properly, he may miss a gear and he is young as well dont let him do anything stupid im sure he rolls around in the eclipse like hes the coolest dude in hs im only 21 and im still young but i kno how stupid i was in hs, im fortunate i kept myself safe. and thats very nice of you to buy him a car make sure he appreciates it and takes care of it like he bought it

 

This.

 

lol the price is irrelevant you can make a car alot faster than a cobalt for way cheaper. i have 3k$ into a cressida i have with a 1jz motor and its a hell of a lot faster than my balt

lol well it is a dsm

 

well it is an lsj

oh **** I just said it!

 

haha i figured with your taste you would like it...

 

Well he loves the car and the color scheme do what ever makes him happy

 

Yeah please at least plastidip the whole car. Those graphics are awful.

 

Watch out for crank walk.

 

^this


my buddy could put a leash on his dsm crank it walked so bad!

 

in all seriousness. i really wanted a 1g awd dsm as a project car for the LONGEST time.

that car is very 'ricey' and he will be mocked endlessly if he posts it anywhere on the internet. but if he likes it, what other people think shouldn't matter.

 

Ya he does like it. He thinks he's got a car like on the fast and furious movies. Lol he's just always wanted a car with a turbo and bov and now he's got one. I just hope it's a good dependable car for him

 

I had a DSM and it was the biggest pile of **** car ever lol. It was my first car I learned to drive stick on too.
