People ask me what my car would run and I tell them low 13s with street tires and high 12s with slicks and a good driver. But I (like 95% of this platform) will never make the commitment of money and time to EVER accomplish those feats with my car. Its an out dated motor sport that does not appeal to this crowd.

The 80s called and said that drag racing is out of style...

Again. I don't mean any disrespect toward you. But in the context of this platform, you are the odd ball. lol

And yes I have been following your build. Its guys like you who make me want to open up my wallet and spend spend spend! I just can not make up my mind how much more I want to stick into this econobox. The new Cadillac ATS and Gen 6 Camaro and looking pretty nice...

and i run mine for what it was designed for. The ring, circle track, and road racing. Like i said the 1320 i just gauge my power on. Why? because im so consistant that i know what the mods ive done have affected the times i run. And its cheaper than the dyno. but running at langley and vir is alot funner than drag racing. Nothing like trail braking going into a turn over 100mph

Oh look its the car that the cobalt replaced, how cute, you know I thought maybe you were gonna say and evo or sti, but your not much better with the cavi, its the excat same thing as the cobalt, so you gain no cool points for your screen name, or what you drive, put it up against my truck once and see what happens

I agree. I'd rather have bragging rights to fast track times than how much a computer says I make for power.

I'll also agree but at the same time its just nice to know. It can also b a tool u use to judge wut cars u can and can't hang with, more so when it comes to freeway runs
