An i can vouch for it too :P that’s on dam fast RSX lol your my idol :P.

 

You're scaring me!!! lol
Cody doesn't want to update the list...

 

Well man for a stock engine with no boost your doing some great runs, lamo I bet you get a lot of fools trying to race you thinking they will win no problem then end up loosing lol. I’m sure you will be getting a lot of questions from me lol I figure if you can do 13’s I should be able to eventually get into the 12’s and maybe even the 11’s. Your cars weigh pretty much the same so there has to be something about the cobalt that is making it perform so poorly.

 

My car is stripped out, and it is a 6speed, with 9000rpm to work with.
There is a good reason formula 1 cars don't run big, torquey motors besides the rules.
I have more passes on my car than the whole of this little section I would bet.
Experience is the key. I'm not a fantastic driver, I just have the car figured out.
I have almost 300 passes under my belt in this car alone.
The cobalt times will get better next year. They are making all the power that is needed to be fast, guys just have to start thinking about how to put it down also, not just dyno numbers or mph.
Getting a dyno graph and learning to interpret it and drive the car according to the powerband,etc. is very important.
As a side note, 18's are not good for drag. The stock tires are quite good on the ss/sc,
but they still need a quick spin to get the dust/dirt off.
There are lots of tricks.
My car is quick, and fun, that's all I can say.
The motor in the ss/sc is meant for turbo, the s/c doesn't do it justice.
As mentioned earlier, a 2.2L/2.3L whipple would really wake it up.

 

Yes even though your experience is threw the RSX some of that information as well as tricks on learning your car apply to all vehicles. Your advice still has some relevance. I also know I will not be able to do the same things you did to your car to mine to make it go faster, but I can look at the strengths in your car and the weaknesses in mine to determine what needs to be changed. A good example of that is you mentioned are the rims being too large.

 

what ar eyou talkin abotu not updating the list...

lol

Im pretty sure its up to date....

whats missing?

oh yeah and i taught chris how to drive just to let everyone know.

 

he did a 13.56@101.5. :P you need to update it :P.

 

All this and he stil doesn't update it!!!

 

yeah i do live in edmonton, moving to calgary in december lol.

Well some people do read profiles :P. Helps you to understand where people are comming from.

 

LIST UPDATED!!!!!!

WOOHOO

For future references... send me a PM please if i missed an update......

oh and next season watch out... becuase im giving birth to "twins" if ya know what im saying....

 

Thanks Boss!!!!
Sweet!!!
Believe me, you'll need them...

 

i have a feeling next year is gonna be a big year for alot of us

 

*evil grin*

 

i love how im still the second fastest 2.4L. and actually i did better then the 16.7 i did 16.6 lol. i should get that timeslip in to jekyl so he can update it.

 

i hit a 16.8... but i cant find the slip...
and im pissed that i wasnt faster..

 

ya next year im gonna work on my launch technique much more and hopefully i'll be able to shave some time off of it and get even lower. dare i say it catch up to cruisn

 

no jokes...

i have to rmbr to take traction control off...

 

ya i don't think i have that option other then to use a tech2 to access the ECM

 

ill need them eh chris?? what does that mean hahhaa

are you planning on boosting your car or something??

 

i just missed out on a car on ebay
a almost new 2007 balt, to strip down for full race. dammit. sold for just too much.

 

Ha, never!!!
It would be way too easy then....
A few minor mods for the winter.
Going to see how far we can push a stock internals k20.
Get this, I'm going for 225whp on Tecmotion's dyno.
With the same power as a well-modded stg.2 cobalt this car should run
13.3's here in town at 102ish mph.
That would leave me to about 13.0-13.1 in edmonchuck.

 

yeah but what do you weigh on race days

 

Less than a cobalt.
About 2800 with me, depending on gas load.
Most of that is free, so it's the best kind of mod.
I kinda gotta mention how silly the "full interiror" argument is.
It's free to remove a few seats.
A pulley costs money.
Your car would be faster with less weight, and if you head to the track,
aren't you trying to be the fastest you can?
Try it, you'll never go back.
When I daily drove this car, I would strip it in 1hr before the races.
Put it back together the next morning.

 

oh im completely with you.
I made a video howto on it, and do it every week.

I was just pointin out that while you are comparing your times to a S2 cobalt with the same power.....its the 300lbs less thats helping create that distance in times
