Cobalt is finally ready - video.

I took her out for the first time this weekend after a long winter.

updates: rebuilt short block, new clutch, Accusump kit, wheel bearings, rotors, HP+ rear, DTC70 front, Koni Yellows, Pedders springs and Hankook Z214 C51 245/40/17 rubber

I will be running in the very fast SGT2 in Ontario Time Attack this year.

Here I am just playing with a local autocross buddy a little to get a feel for the new setup. I love the Koni's!

And to all the kind comments - thanks everyone1

The Cobalt is now the ultimate sleeper I swear.
That Mustang and his driver is lethal on the local tracks and just to hang with him was worth a million bucks.

The King Of The Hill races are very popular around here, I've been doing them since 03 on a regular basis. You start to know the cars and their drivers and will pick the ones that is "safe" to pass on the outside. Believe me I will not try that with some others out there..

cheers
