ok, welll i went to test and tune tonight. definately not as cool as street legal thursday lol....there were just a bunch of dragsters and bikes there. however there was some chic in a stock toyota avalon, 02 or so mustang v6 running 11.0, an 05 civic running 11-12s and his friend in a 95 or so civic running the same, so i beat them all.
here are all my runs(didnt get many because they let all the bikes and dragsters cut in line half the time, so my wait was like 20 minutes each time...pissed me off.

now remember, i'm still new to racing a standard so i gotta get my launches and shifts down before i run better numbers.

first run was against some z28...i didnt choose for him to be next to me lol! launched at 2k rpms
r/t .203
60 2.599
330 7.184
mph 51
1/8 10.842
mph 66.30

my focus usually runs 10.8 at 63 mph..how does that work lol?

then i missed third on my second run..11.136

ok i'll just say all the actual 1/8 times i ran, 10.700, 10.673, 10.918, 10.760

well its for sure i'm faster than my focus...and i'm not done learning.

my second best run, for some reason, had the best 60', launched at 4k rpms:
rt .260
60' 2.410
330 6.999
mph 50.72
1/8 10.700
mph 65.48

my best run of the day, launched at 3k rpms
rt .188
60' 2.467
330 7.010
mph 51.29
1/8 10.673
mph 66.08

 

you can cut a lower 60ft. drop tire pressure to 27 i cut a 2.3 60ft with those pressures, that'll help a lil...hold on i'll look up what i ran in the 1/8


9.9 @ 69 mph bone stock cobalt LS 5 spd no rear tire. You can do it.

 

Your never done learning, lol

And I forgot you were talkin 1/8 and I read V6 Mustang running 11 and Civic's doin 11 and thought "wow" then I remember 1/8

 

dang impressed with the 9.9. What was your 60ft that time?

 

how are you guys launching that high w\ out wheel hop?? are you slipping the clutch?

 

my best 1/8th right now was with a 2.45 60 foot 10.1@69.96 at 35psi

 

dont worry clmbngfrk18 i get wheel hopa bout 80% of the time...or atleast now...hopefully my springs/etd will take care of my problems

 

yeah mines a little higher than that if these guys hit the 1\4 they'll deff have us beat

 

well by the next time i hit he track i should have my 24. spring\sturts on so i hope that will help a little maybe less hop and less weight transfer

 

There ya go Brandon...

 

wow there it was first sentence i'm an idiot.

btw clmbngfrk-everything get there ok?

 

im hoping nov.19th ill be pulling atleast a 9.6-9.8 1/8th

by then ill have intake,exhaust,header,springs,etd,better tires b/c i did those times on stock continentals.

 

my best time is

r/t: .819
60': 2.321
1/8: 10.321
MPH: 68.05
1/4: 16.001
MPH: 86.31

 

the last time i was at the track my best 1.8th was a 10.4@68 with a 2.6 60 foot lol...damn lowend torque and wheel hop

 

yeah i wheel hop but not much. how come my focus ran faster sometimes but had lower mph and my cobalt ran the same with faster mph?

 

My best 1/8th was:

R/T - .1521
60 ft - 2.4729
1/8 ET - 10.578
1/8 mph - 68.49

That's with Intake, Cat-Back and ATX

 

because your Cobalt is faster its just taking you longer to get off the line

 

2.3...


I'm number 205

 

^^^ Wooo For 2.2!!!!

 

yea but enough on that slip, it's been argued to death.


but yea, keep practicing and you'll get better. practice really does make perfect.

 

last sunday i had my first run at any track.
R/T-.457
60'-2.494
330-6.904
1/8-10.8
MPH-65.5

1/4-16.7 @ 81.5mph..now ill start doing some work on my car.

 

These numbers are from my 2007 Cobalt LS bone stock at Texas Motorplex in Ennis. (1/4 mile track)

07Cobalt-LS - 2.237 60', 15.499 @ 91.39 (2007 Cobalt LS)

Now Chevy's website says the 2007 model LS had a horsepower increase over the 05 and 06. So Im just wondering if my times are consistent with this increase compared to you guys with teh 05 and 06 cobalts.

 

the power was a only a increase of 3hp....

 

u seem to have the best 60 foot for the 2.2's right now as well lol

 

people say its not really an increase, just a new rating system they are using.
