Cobalt Autocross/Road Racing Video/Picture thread
I don't know if there will be any interest or not but I thought it neat to have a thread where everyone could share their Cobalt autocross and road racing media in one spot. I know I am always looking for quality videos of other Cobalts laying down some rubber and am always interested in seeing what our cars may be capable of. I also think it would be interesting to post at least the car trim level, maybe what kind of FI if any, and what kind of tires you are running in the video. If you think this is a decent idea support this thread by uploading your most recent racing media.

I'll start it off with a video from a local autocross meet in Salina, KS yesterday.
2006 Cobalt LS - TVS 1320 - Michelin Pilot Super Sport 245/40R17 tires |
are you running with an open diff ?

I'm not saying and LSD isn't advantageous. But, the only time an LSD makes a difference is if one of the tires has lost grip. Otherwise it functions the same as an open differential. |
I drove my car back to back with a non LSD car, both GMS1 LNF, and can honestly say it makes a MASSIVE difference. Any time I went near the throttle mid corner without lighting the inside tire in the non LSD car. Not saying you can't still put down fast times without one, but it makes it far easier with one.
Back on subject though, I'll throw a couple of my Autox vids in here when I get home next week. |

i have an open diff on my TVS lsj on E85 and i can tell you from experience that it needs an lsd. If your not feeling it then you need to corner harder. The slightest weight transfer you will feel the one wheel disappear.
but you will have a cheaper time installing it on an f23. im sure its worth its weight in gold. |
I was even spinning the inside tire on my stock 2.2 5spd HHR. I can't imagine the one wheel peel throwing down that much power...
|
I'm not putting full power down mid-corner. It's not like I'm saying my inside tire doesn't spin. I have to be real easy with the throttle unless I am fairly level. If I hammer down right out of a corner I'll spin every time.
The point I was trying to make is an open differential is not constantly one wheel with power. It only comes into play when one tire loses grip. Which in Autox is quite frequently. I just compensate with the throttle in situations where I know I can't get much power down. Not saying it's as fast as an LSD car but it's not like it's completely useless without it either. Do any of you know what percentage slip the F23 quaife LSD allows? |
no idea on the slip % but there are other options out there besides the quaife, team green i think it is or something like that seems to be a go to option.

Great idea JDBaugh1 !
Here's a backward looking vid where I managed to keep an MP4-12C behind me for a lap. Car mods are in my signature. I was running Nitto NT01's in the stock size. |

McLaren chase - YouTube That's impressive man. I would be so frustrated if I was driving the McLaren lol. Did you use youtube's video stabilization or something for that vid? |

Still my favorite shot, cresting Phil Hill at Buttonwillow with 3 wheels off. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cob...62a21462bb.jpg |
This year at VIR... best lap there yet.
|
First time at NCM Motorsports track last year...
|
Wichita region SCCA RE challenge, my fastest run.
|
Well, apparently I'm retarded, and don't know how to imbed the video, so are the links.
Cold tires suck... Mods in sig. |
This is at Watkins Glen a few years ago. 2009 SS turbocharged, Sumitomo HTR Z II tires, Powell hardcore rear bar, custom CAI, Hahn catless DP, stock tune.
I didn't make it easy for that E36 after passing me. |
Had to rype something ckaise my phone posted a post to the wrong thread. Nice rides though.
|
Nailed a cone head on and got a little sideways. Did manage to get a couple clean runs in with my fastest shown at the end. Was trying to capture tire roll but my gopro wasn't setup right and it turned out pretty dark. Ended up with a pretty big chunk cut into my tire today.

My most recent event, Enduro Lite. 1 practice lap, followed by 2 flying laps. Finally beat one of the Drivers of a MK6 Golf R. Might have beaten both, but I broke a shift cable somewhere along the way, and couldn't complete my second run.
