victory_red_SS goes RWD
With my car still in a million pieces, inside JBP, burning it down will only slow the project down.

lol Completely bone stock motor, 40k miles, semi daily driven, was on stock clutch til 3 months ago, been making over 400whp for about 8 months no issues... (440whp 400wtq on 104 octane and 22.35 psi)
well rod sorry to see the snags, but **** it should be expected by now.
Hopefully I'll be taking a roadtrip this spring

On another note, I guess I should stop praying for patience, because I have learnt to be that with these Cobalts.

It was my suggestion to slow things down and after it taking this long anyways, I don't want to cause more snags by pushing. The snow will be there soon and I don't want the car test driven any where around snow and ice.

Well the latest news is that there is no new news.
If any of you have seen the issues with the daily driver Cobalt, you will know that I have been focusing on getting it running and reliable for going back and forth to work.
At the same time the winter is fast approaching and there is no way the project car will make it onto a road until spring time.
I had really been pushing JBP to get the project done and now we have both agreed that it is time to let off the pressure for the sake of the project. The DD engine died likely due to a simple slip up in assembly, something that cannot be repeated on the project. With five months until clear roads again, the next couple of months will be time for JBP to focus on other customers & projects that they have let slide while working on my car. That will also allow them to come back to the project with clear heads and a renewed focus.
I see no reason to rush anything now simply to have it sit around. The plan is still for the car to be ready for the track come spring time as well as having the unveiling when people can see it on the track doing some all out runs.---------

"Conversion from transverse to longitudinal engine orientation prohibited."

I have gone over the rule book where it concerns my intentions and I have never seen that statement. On top of that, the chassis builder built himself a converted Dodge Rampage to a RWD with no issues on the NHRA tracks.
Well that isn't the class I am going for so I never read that part of the book, go figure.
That is what I was thinking. On a good note, he did find my thread the same day he signed up.
