the "no lift shift" is also known as power shifting...the srt4 mopar s2 has that system..u shift WOT and u wont loose boost at all..but like everything else it has a weekness...ur clutch will go out faster than usual
also wat kind of cheap tires are those..they seem to be sqeeling every turn...
also how long is that straight away at the end?1 mile maybe more and he only reached 120mph..and entered that turn at wat 50mph or so

BTW -- If you're truly pushing a car on the track, the tires will squeal no matter what kind of tire it is. That was perfectly normal for a high performance tire with someone who knows how to drive.
Approaching the straight he says you can hit 142 here. At 8:46 into it he says, "That's a hunred and forty miles an hour." Care to retract?

--- but did you leave the turn in the right place to set up for the next one? Too much speed into a turn = slow times on a road course. With few exceptions, that guy was braking at the right time and hit the right line on just about every turn. You don't drive the Nurb-ring in 9 mins (in a Cobalt nonetheless) without knowing what you're doing. Dryer conditions and that run would have been well into the 8's -- impressive.

The guys in the Lancers have recirculating BOV's like the new Tc apparently will because of MAF issues. A guy I was talking to said the car would literally shut off with a atmosphere ventilated BOV.

Wow. Some people amaze me.
1.) Those are great tires. If you're pushing your car the tires should be making noise.
2.) I really don't think we need to critique Johnny Heinricy driving. It's safe to say he knows what he is doing.

3.) Some people like the blow-off valve sound. Im not a huge fan. But when buying a preformance car I would hope that wouldnt be a deal breaker.

GREAT FIND! I bet the T/C Cobalt with say intake, exhaust, tune could probably drop that Nurburgring time even more. I'm really glad to see that the car handles well and isn't just a straight line racer. I'd love to see Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear review the car. He'd tear it apart but it'd be fun.
