you guys have no other reason to be rude to larry other then jealousy, he never starts **** on here and always helps... so put your jealosy aside and grow a pair.

******* retard.
Better gas mileage?? I DARE the Mustang to come anywhere near the 40MPG I get on the highway with my car.

Yeah.....I am SO jealous of Larry and his Mustang. *rolls eyes*

And calling someone a "******* retard", yeah....that's classy. Good job!!

Yup! A custom tune will help a lot. It gave me better gas mileage AND helped with the performance of the car.

And before the critics chime in.....it is between 35mpg and 40mpg......but that is still DAMN impressive for highway driving at 120km/h.

If you don't like GM.....WHY are you posting on a site that is an enthusiast site for GM/Chevy??? I don't go onto a Ford Mustang site and post and bash Ford.....doesn't make sense to me. But what do I know right?

And if you don't like what I post....here is a quote for ya:

"SO IF YOU DON'T ******* LIKE IT, THEN DON'T READ MY POST."
Your a fricken joke man...When you know as much about the cobalt as I do come and talk to me. I do not bash the cobalt I am bashing GM. Like I said I have every right to. If it wasn't for Mark and myself using our cars to learn HP tuners you would be **** out of luck in the tune department.

Oh and nice , what you couldn't think for yourself with that comment.

I have been a member on this site before all of you and yes if you need my help I will be there. Some of you on here trash me for bashing GM BUT think its OK to bash every other vehicle manufacturer or guy that do not drive Cobalt's. Yes I do own a mustang and yes I would take it over my Cobalt any day but in no way did I ever say one was better than the other.

Now I'm not saying all of you and you know who you are and I thank you for standing up for me and for those of you that come on here and like to start a fight over something that was a joke you can kiss my ass.

END RANT!!!!

Can you afford one? Maybe/maybe not. Can I, probably/probably not. Would I buy one, no. Why, for the price there are a lot nicer cars out there in my opinion.

But everyone has there likes and dislikes.

There are MANY other members on this site who live in Alberta who are probably a lot better then you at tuning and I could have easily gone too. I asked Mark to do it because he knows his stuff and he was in Calgary.

If you don't like what I am saying....well tough ****. Suck it up princess.
Who the hell do you think helped mark with the tuning. We took OUR cars and used them as guinea pigs before he even tuned any of you. yeah there are other members you could of gone to to tune your car but you didn't. You tell me I have a "I'm better than everyone attitude" but all you like to do I shove your opinions on everyone but as soon as someone stands up to your **** you cry foul. Why don't you take that chip on your shoulder and shove it up your own ass.

As for the princess remark. look who crying now. Real mature I think is what you said to Travis isn't it.

If you think I really give a **** what you think, you have another thing coming.

Oh and next time don't hide behind a PM.

Yeah.....I am just bawling like a little baby. Boo friggin' hoo.

Well I don't care if you give a **** or not Larry.....if I did.....well.....I don't so who cares.

You are an absolute waste of time and as you said earlier.....END RANT.

LLP your a fricken joke. how come everytime there is like a fight or controversy in this thread your at the centre? you need to stop being a jackass. and its fairly easy to get outta the thread! stop posting. im sure alot of people dont want to hear your retarded remarks. and hiding behind PM's? next time it might be easier to get your mom to call us and she can sort it out for you alright? or maybe your girlfirend? i donno what would be easier for you.

and you obviosly are jealous for some reason or you wouldnt be fighting so hard, maybe its because his knowlege of the cobalt exceeds yours, maybe its because everyone respects him way more then they do you, or maybe its because you know his car is faster, maybe you just know he is right, i mean are you really trying to defend a corporation that is on the verge (or may already have) filed for bankrupcy? any logical arguement would reason with saying the company going bankrupt is retartded...

you know his car is faster. and i bet it kills you.

Thanks Travis.

It really has nothing to do with who drives what car or who's car is better or faster, there all just cars. I am just sick of him and HIS attitude towards me and the fact that he feels he can come on here and slam anyone he likes without any consequence.

Cheers and let's move on.

Personally I don't know which Mustang site you have seen them slam GM or cobalt's but I am a member of four and have not seen anyone slam anybody. Now it's not to say it doesn't happen but I have also seen it happen on this site as well. What you folks have to remember is is that they are just cars.

Yes the Coby is a quick 4cyl with the supercharger and can be very surprising to people, trust me I've seen it first hand when I raced a rumble bee on the queen E. As wee passed him he was like WTF!

Now comparing a Cobalt to a Mustang is like apples to oranges. From a dig I suspect I will have you for lunch because the Coby is hard to launch. Now from a 40 roll you would probably have me and the reason for that is : 1) Power to weight ratio. 2) when you are at 40 km/h roll you are in your power band in second with the SC wining up and I am not so you will have me until I hit the power band and shift into 3rd. Now on a mustang the 2nd to 3rd shift there is a lot of HP and torque and I will catch you but by the 3rd to 4th shift I will have you. maybe not hugely but I will have you. I have seen a stock mustang with only a CAI do 14.1 second pass and my stage 2 coby did a 14.1 at race city and a 13.9 at mission from the previous owner. So it would be hard to say who would do what.

It would be interesting to test out.

Yep, a dig is from a dead stop. You didn't even have to go to school to learn...haha

It would be interesting. Have you tried the launch feature on your TC yet? Also don't forget I am running a 91 race tune from Bama chips as well with torque management turned off and advanced timing. I am running somewhere about 310 RWHP on the 91 Octane tune. Buy summer I also plan on UDPs, X-pipe with High flow cats and delete plates plus a new tune from Matt at Techmotion. It would be nice to see what your stage 2 would do for the TC. Oh and I noticed you were going to do an exhaust delete. Be careful as it may hurt you in the end if you free up the back pressure. It may cause you to lose HP. I have seen this happen on the SC cars when guys go to a 3" piping with a cat delete. Not enough back pressure to sustain HP unles you are well over 300 HP. Just a thought.

Is race City going to be open next year? If not a ride up to Eddy may be in order.

Hey Allan. When do you plan on starting on you stang project. Let me know. I know a lot of guys that have turned wrenches on mustangs that would be willing to help.

Cheers

I'd would be interested in that. Would be good either way, just to get a run on a better track then Race City.

Send Pickles a PM. He had 60's in his setup. Not sure where he got them from but I am sure he will be willing to give advice as to where you could purchase them from.

Me personally I would stick with the 42's unless Mark has the 60# pulse adder tables dialed in. I know we were having a hard time dialing in his car but he may have that figured out. We set my car up with the 42# adders and it was a whole new car.

Cheers

You know what Travis........I am not going to even waste my time and effort with you or Larry. I tried to keep it between Larry and I by using the PM's but apparently that was not good enough. If the two of you want to gang up on me go ahead. I don't care.

And just so you know.....I never once said my car was better then Larry's. Maybe you should try using facts instead of speculation. I am not jealous of Larry and his car by no stretch of the imagination. Again....another one of your great speculations. Good job!

Agreed!

There are a lot of good members here from Calgary. I am just tired of the drama that gets caused sometimes. And I will admit I am to blame for a lot of it this time, but I was just tired of sitting around saying nothing.

I know GM is not doing well as a corporation, but what does that have to do with this site honestly? This is about people who have bought the Cobalt because they obviously like it and want to meet other people who feel the same way. Yet there are people who are on this site that don't own the car anymore because of a bad experience and are more then intent to chime in when someone is having a problem and say **** about the car and/or GM. Either they have nothing else better to do with their time, or are really that pissed off that they have made it a life mission to make sure everyone else feels the same way.
