I thought the Cobalt was a much faster car.. the 303 HP is nice, but the thing weighs a ton and for a car like that it should be rwd.. I like the car though congratz.. The cobalt is faster on a 1/4mile though

if anyone finds some good tires that are decently priced let me know.. i need some new ones come spring and am looking for some decent tires under $1,000
my buddy got Z rated tires for $740 installed from some discount place in dartmouth... tires were made in china i believe... dunno what brand they are... but the price is right... i don't do alot of races from a stop so traction isn't really an issue for me... just want tires that last longer than one summer :/

Used from a friend of mine. His lease is up in March and GM won't take his car back unless the exhaust is stock. He said pay the labour to swap his exhaust back to stock and the parts are mine.

hey girls and gals.. just priced some Ventus V12 Evo's on tirerack.com... shipped here for $730... i wonder if that includes taxes crossing the border.. anyone had tires shipped from the states?
priced a set of general exclaim UHP's at oktire for $670+ tax installed but i read up on them... great ratings on 1010tires.com but some complaints about blowouts due to soft sidewalls on them... that scares me a little...

thanks buddy! did you order replacement TPMS rebuild kits? is that even neccesary? damn that's cheap... not sure if i want to take that warranty for $58 though... it may be worth taking a chance with the tires and just paying the extra $50 to replace it if one blows.... and if it doesn't im up $58
now if i can just find a canadian company that sells an aftermarket speed sensor for my 1990 honda accord i'd be set... lol

i think im going with the Nitto NT 555 Extreme Performance tires. they're about $100 cheaper and i'm sure they'll be just as good as the hancooks. only $628 shipped to my door for all 4. i can't wait to order them! thanks for the site!
