2007 ALBERTA Cobalt Top 1/4 mile Times.
I took out my interior near the begining of summer and the only thing that went back in was the passenger front seat. The rest of the interior behind the front seats, stayed out until... well... today actually.
that asshat from ebay called me today again to get me
to buy the salvage car.
my intention was to show up next spring witha heavily modded, 2007 ss s/c,
with only enuf car left to drive down the track.
anyone know whata totally gutted balt weighs?
RED??? lol.

Tires are a huge factor. You don't have to have slicks, but sticky helps.
I dream of getting my car to 2400 one day, but it is more work than I want
right now. It helps 3 times as much for road racing, which I am going to start lightly next year. Auto-x and solo-2.
If the cobalt is 2950 stock, then new wheels, carbon hood, ditch the wing(added drag anyway), strip seats, rear carpet, speakers, extra belts,etc.
I don't see how you wouldn't be 2600.
Also, under 1/4 tank of gas.
I see a few ss/sc's in the 12's next year, easily.
At least I was faster for a short while....
i was thinking carbon doors, trunk, and hood too. plexi sides, and hard front rear glass, that would be street legal. that guy got ahold of me yest, and today.
it would be nice to simply rip apart a 3 month old car for racing only, but i guess, i could just pick up some shmo's '05 and do the same, if i waz gonna turbo and head it.
if i dont get a race car up, before the vette is ready, bye bye balty

slicks up front, skinnies in back, gut it to the metal, lightweight driver seat.....

The side impact beams really do matter.
I looked into it, they are expensive and a ton of work.
The plexi is a good idea, but the expansion rate is far more than glass,
so you may have to trim to avoid damage to the paint on the hot and sunny days.
The a/c thing is good, likely lose about 30lbs there.
i gave him **** for shiling the car. i let him know , i know what his reserve was,.
and that i have the cashola when he comes to his sences.
he said, how do i know you have the cash? ha ha

wife says he sounds older? i dunno. i told him if he coughed a good number, i can be at his farm in an hour with my dealer plate, and drive it away with him cash in hand. once i see the clear lein papers and title etc.
damn now i want to buy a car to strip and use just for racing
Im thinking a old Pontiac FireFly Turbo... completely stripped to the metal (already has skinnies on it stock haha) ... slap on some NAWS becuase its quick cheap and easy... and race it till it blows lol...
best part is... i can carry the car to the track in my back pocket....

It said that is was sold I was looking at it also, it went over $8000. It is never reregisterable anywhere as far as i know.But i guess if you have a dealer plate ?
he claims to have a 500 d0ollar deposit on it. we shall see.
he also didnt want to ship it to japan.
he likes the idea of me driving it away.
and they guy that "won" the auction... BS. he offered me the car that night for my last bid price.
shilling dude. Then he copntacted me again monday. and we spoke tuesday. car is still at his place.
i smell a rat.
ps, its not worth 8k. look at some 2005 on ebay that can be driven legally.
he claimed it was a lsd, and it wasnt. he said it had recarro, lol. not a chance.
he lied to me about a number of details. i pulled the complete gm history, (iknow every option it had,
when the car had warranty activated, and when gm did a full warranty void.)
and found out some insurance info. it was written off for a reason.
wet up to the floor, my @ss.
it got trapped in an underpass in a rainstorm, and drowned.water stalled the engine.

i think his original reserve of 5k is perfect for it.
no more though
My wife works at Marshalls, what car are you talking about? I'll she if see can do some snooping around. I know there is a Blue 07 SS/SC there that is smashed up in the front end. The salesman was using it as a demo and rearended someone or something like that.

1G1AP15P077186922 BLUE 2007 SS S/C
WAS BUILT LAST OCTOBER,

4. 13.812 @ 103.18 mph = FireStorm - SS S/C - Castrol - Sept 14th,
YOU just had better traction. my clutch was slipping more than i woulda thought possible and still get a good time. i still beat the stang by over 1 sec on that run. you should see my hpt logfile. lawl.
you can see the hangtime into second for aver a full 2 seconds
and slippage major into first. and im too blame, ive had that pretty exedy in the box the whole time and not borthered to stick itin.

i just want to know that im right thinking the original owners name is not rick.
i know every option the car has.
well maybe im a little curious what their service dept did to it so it runs...
its never seen any warranty.

Well I can tell ya it's in the body shop right now. My wife works in the parts department there and has been taking body parts over for it. It never did get sold, it was only a demo for the saleman to drive and he smashed it up. That's about all I know right now.
technically, your guys' sigs should say "quickest" not "fastest" fastest refers to speed, where you guys are bragging about the time you finished the quarter mile...
that way a guy with the highest mph can say he is the fastest, and the guy with the quickest ET can say he is the quickest... make sense? BTW, my old cobalt trapped 104.6 mph :P
