obvisouly going turbo can get you there as paul has demonstrated to all of us. i was going to trade my car in tonight on an 04 gto, but when i think about it why cant i just turn my ss into a little track monster, and not be like most other people and go out and buy a gto, camaro, mustang because it has more displacement so its definetly alot easier to make fast. I would like to have more of a unique car that not everyone would think of as a quick little car something thats gonna take a lot of work and knowledge to run with the big boys and hopefully not just run but beat them. i was thinking of going fully forged motor with the TVS later this summer when they ship with a shot of giggle gas, or going with the hahn Super20G kit. where i live when i go to the track there are tons and tons of mid 12 second ls1's, procharged stangs, 6-10 ls2 gtos that are pretty stock. so i have 2K in the bank at the moment and i'm making about $500 a week so whatever i want i can eventually get, as i have graduation coming up in 1 and a 1/2 months so let me know what you all think. i WILL be earning some respect around my area for 4cyl. and mostly cobalts in general just the same way we are all amazed at what a great job paul has done with his setup, and also 2k5ss/sc has done with his setup from rebel(even if he hasnt made it down the track 10 times yet), and lsjwannabe for pushing his car with the TVS, and sometime in the future hopefully we'll see some huge numbers from RavenSS cause i know he still hasnt quite got his car all the way back together but its close, and VictoryRedSS well i dont have to say anything cause we all know that car is going to decimate anything it looks at
