went to the track today

Well I don't have a scanner so I can't show yall any slips. I got two 15.7 in a 1/4 mile and the rest of my runs were 15.8

MY BEST RUN
1/4 ET 15.7
RT .7697

MY WORST RUN DUE TO ME SNEEZING WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN LOL
1/4 ET 16.3
RT 1.3

soon I will have some vids of the car going down the track.

OH NOT MANY COBALTS CAN SAY THIS NOT EVEN THE SS/SC I BELIEVE. I BEAT A 05+ MUSTANG GT LOL OK FINE HE JUMPED THE GUN AND GOT A RED LIGHT BUT I DON'T CARE I BEAT HIM BY DEFAULT

are you running through the waterbox? if so....... STOP. go around it and just spin your tires a little bit to clean them off. you dont need to roast your tires in these cars. They aren't slicks or DR and dont need to be heated up. but i bet you can get your 60ft to at least a 2.2X with a good launch. that should get your time down to roughly around a 15.5X. try launching at about 15-1700 rpm to see if that helps with the wheelspin. dont drive through the box and that should help as well.

thanks for the advice I was driving around the waterbox, and I was spinning the tires when I pulled up to the line. I'll tryl the 15-1700rpm launch as well. Do you think it would help if I lowered the tire pressure? Also I just need to find that sweet spot when you shift from L-I
