The Cobalt SSTC won 1st, 2nd, and 4th in SCCA D Stock at Packwood, WA Solo National Tour Aug 16 and 17, 2008.

Other cars in the class included the Mazda MS3, VW R32, and Subaru WRX.

Looks like the Cobalt SSTC might be a very competitive car in SCCA D Stock autocrossing. I like it's chances at the upcoming Tire Rack Solo National Championship in Topeka, KS in Sept.

Looks like Chevy got the package right this time. Go Cobalts!

 

very nice...

 

congrats to the drivers

 

I think they are gonna do good on just about any track they get put on, drag or circle track....

 

Well...I'm going to be there in the SC SS... as well as Fastmike bringing his TC car.

I'll have a full report from Topeka that week.

There wasn't teh BMW 135 at Packwood, so we'll see. Fienberger wasn't there in his ITR either.. he's a good call for the title, but I think The SS TC has a good shot.

Stay posted

 

topeka has a bad ass race complex, but not **** to do besides that haha.

good luck to whoever is going

 

Yeah Baby! That's right! a FWD Cobalt SS/TC beating AWD cars like the R32, WRX, and the devil's own Mazdaspeed 3! Driver skill helps too!

If I purchase a SS/TC after my SS/SC goes back, I'll be doing autocross in it for sure!

 

autocross ftmfw i love racing i came in second in my class with my sssc i only got beat by a wrx and im in street touring ultimate

 

What did you do to the SS to be thrown in STU???

Everything I've seen done at best throws them into STX... not questioning it... just curious.


Topeka and nothign to do??? I found plenty to do the week I was there for nats last year. Plenty of entertainment...

Since this will be the last year @ HPT, I will have to make this one count.

 

Quick question. Don't mean to thread hi-jack but since we're on the topic...

What's allowed to run in D stock class?
I've ran my SS/SC in quite a few autocross events when I first got it but it's completely stock. I think I ran in D stock tire class...

But for stock class...

Rear sway bars?
Front end links?
lighter rims?
Koni adjustable shocks?
stickier tires?

 

the dumbasses thought the supercharger was aftermarket hahaa

 

i may stop by heartland park and watch the cars run

 

 

MS3's are FWD.

More info at the above links or IM/PM/e-mail me.

 

good stuff, happy to hear that

 

Yeah I know that. I was just joking when I said the Devil's own MS3, (knowing it's FWD & very quick) But I guess that wasn't too clear.

Yeah, I know search is my friend, I was too lazy to use it. But just wanted to vaguely know. Thank you for your response! I appreciate the info!

 

any pics from the event?

 

excellent! glad to see the TC balt taking off! although if my car was a 2 door coupe id be faster too I really am glad to see chevy in this market with such a bad ass car. Just hope ford gets something going... focus RS euro spec? cant wait to see pics guys!

 

damn you SM class...

 

The cars that compete in Street Modified are crazy! I've seen some pretty sick cars competing in SM...

 

The Integra is still king in D. May be if the SS at national uses Hoosier's, he might fair a bit better.

 

Who took 3rd?

 

No kidding! If you're gonna post a thread like this ya gotta give some proof with it. Vids; pics; a link to where you saw or read the info you post with the thread.....something! I be checkin back. In a week I'll be 380HP and 420TQ and 22-23lbs of boost in my TC.....god I'd love to get on a track with it!
