dam dude thats insane and when u gunna get this beast back on the roads?

 

Cam, since you don't get on AIM anymore, send me a PM explaining you know what, lol. I am still curious as to what it was from.

 

Let it go man.

 

How many months cam?

 

Well things are starting to roll pretty quickly. I wouldn't be suprized if I could use my car to pick up the thanksgiving turkey from the store (then having to get gas for the 1.2 mile journey home )

 

anything is cheaper then the 990 without shipping JBP is selling there rods for

 

Yeah, thats rediculous!

 

I just check crowers website and they still have them listed the same so I will probably give them a call once its closer to that time or wait till you get a part number.... hope to see your car running soon cam..... once I started seeing vids of your car and reading your build post I decided I wanted to see just how far the stock supercharger will take the cobalt. you are a inspiration my friend.... plus turbos are just to common lol

 

Just wait til I get mine.

 

You guys amaze me. I mean, buy whoever's rods you want but learn to read.
JBP says buying from their dealers is "cheaper" than direct from JBP. Remember a company who has parts made in the has to pay duty+shipping to get them to and you pay for it. Buy from the JBP dealers and save. It's simple economics.

 

I'd rather get a custom set at manufacturer cost

 

You and me both.
I did talk to Dave Crower but he wasn't offering me the price you are getting.

 

I Win!!!

 

So now you want to race???

 

It feels good that you can say that to almost any cobalt now that you will have probably one of the fastest ones out there right?

 

Sure, we'll race on the street..... oh I win, your car won't be street driveable!!! At the track, sure you'll destroy me, but then again the only thing our cars will share is the block and head. Yours will be a full blown (trailor it events) race car, where mine will be a street/strip warrior. Its like comparing a Cessna with a machine gun to a F22

 

If I remember correctly I think Victory_Red_SS said his car will also be streetable too. hmm. Lets see him chime in for input.

 

I would actually think Victorys car would be more streetable than yours . You can tune for the street , you cant tune out FWD

 

if i carried crower. id pull some strings, but i don't. so i can't

 

Carried Crower? Where, at your beef curtain warehouse?!?!

 

if i told you what i paid for the parts on my car, you would break down and cry.

 

Want to tell?

 

Sorry, I know it seems a little bit like bullying but I need a bit of fun while I wait for my car. And I only said that so I can have my turn to win as he already has
I won't race on the street because I am against street racing. I will have some fun driving but I won't line up at a set of lights that don't look like a tree.

Fixed
Yes my car is going to be streetable. That is the purpose of the smaller turbo, boost down low.
It took me a long time to get the shops to understand that this is my "street" car. The chassis is being built so I can have at least as good of a suspension as the car was stock.
Yes my car will get trailered to the race track, only because, I will be swapping out the street rearend and axels for dragstrip only parts. My whole suspension is completely adjustable to compensate for the differences between drag racing and road course racing.
I will have at least 3 different tunes so I can choose how much power I want to be running when I am driving to the corner store or taking the wife out for dinner.

 

Is it less than zero? Cause up to this point the only thing I've had to pay for so far is the rods...

Ok, ok. My car will be streetable... without changing drivetrain parts and other components, not to mention I won't have to imitate a spider monkey when getting into my car My dad and I had a low 10 second Nova a few years back, and it was a pain in the ass getting in and out... and that was back when I was a little kid!!!

Either way, as I stated before....

 

But ahhh , cages can be built in many ways man . When we did the cage in my 95 Trans Am vert , we built the door bars to avoid just that . Getting in and out was an cake and it was still NHRA legal .
