2006 Cobalt SS 2.4L 5-Speed Oval Track Racer - Build Thread

Hi Everyone,

Thought I would post up a thread with my racecar. A local racetrack here in Ontario, Canada have a Bone Stock class, which allows 4-Cylinder FWD Cars to run around a paved, 1/3 mile oval. I purchased a 2.4L 2006 SS Car, and transformed it into a roll cage filled oval track race car.

I have made some changes to the car, including adding 3 Degrees of camber (Maximum Allowed) and installing the cage, and now race every Saturday night. I figured for anyone interested in building a racecar or wondering about this kind of racing, I would start a thread and that way people can see the car!

Post up if you have any questions and I'll try my best to answer.

Thanks Slowbalt, this forum has been very helpful. The cage kit is pre-bent by a local company to me, around $400 Canadian for the complete kit!
