i knew this would happen i i predict some big things to come out of this car.

 

lol thx. As for the future...well c, i dont really have anything big planned for it, just basic simple crap.

 

yea, that's what you say. but wait till you hit that 13.1, and you want to break into the 12's.

 

Are those the Enkei EVO 5's? Look exactly like them, but in chrome. I love those rims and if I could see a close up you will sell me on the color I want.

 

i'm pretty sure he said they were the evo 5's.

 

I musta missed it.

Where did you find them in chrome?!?! Close up please

 

they're not chrome, the color is called hypersilver with a chrome lip

 

Unless the person acted like an arrogant 'lil kid.

I dislike childish behavior in ALL people.

Personally, I don't "hate" anything or anybody (looshie included).

Regarding the Ms3, I test drove one before I bought my SS/SC. It was a fine car.

But Mazda wasn't offering $2500 in rebates as was Chevy, plus the Mazda dealer was ripping me off on my trade as well (by several thousand dollars).

So all in all, I saved over $4000 on my SS/SC as compared to what I would have spent on an Ms3.

Yes, the Ms3 is a very nice performing car. But not enough for me to justify the extra $4k ...

 

mine hits 118 @ 7,000 rpm FYI

i'm almost out for lunch, i can make a vid of 1-3, but it will not have sound, as the camera i have does not record sound. my old lady's does, but i dont have it with me. i'll go out and do it if you want to see where my gears redline.

looks good btw, is it dropped, or is that stock ride height.?

 

i dont understand how people are off by 10mph on where 3rd gear ends. i have peopel like you tellingme 118 i have others telling me 108, then some1 else tells me 112. wtf lol dont you all drive the same damn car? next time your being stupid and flooring your car, most likly by the end of this week, just wait till you hit fuel cut and note the speed lol.

As for the drop, right now its a lil lower than stock via photochop as my cobb springs are in the mail, im waiting for the ups man to ring my door bell.

Btw chevy guy, i got your pm about the track this thursday, but i just went last week so its pointless for me to drive that far again. however i was contacted by a cobalt ss owner that i met years ago and hes drying to get all his buddies to go to the track sometimes soon. mostly likly withing the next two weeks if i had to guess. i hope he makes it at atco as i hate etown. ill fill you in via pm if you want to join. he also drives a stage 2 with supporting mods.

 

looks dropped to me.
looks good too.

if only it was a sedan i tells ya.
i hate this hatch popularity thing lately.

one of the problems is we have multiple redlines, and multiple reading sources.
our speedo/tach are laggy, so may be giving you lower numbers

as well as the people with the 6500 redline.

people reading with HPTuners are likely giving the higher (and more accurate) numbers.
but its also easy to bump the redline to 7200, which alot of people do.

I will go dig in my logs right now and check for you.

 

um, ok. i guess i can go. tell me the details as you find out.

 

i dont even consider my car a hatch, its a wagon baby lol. makes it more fun when i beat some1. 'i lost to a wagon" lol it just sounds funny

Engine speeds in top gear:-
30 MPH = 1113 RPM 40 MPH = 1484 RPM 50 MPH = 1856 RPM 60 MPH = 2227 RPM

If you hit higher than 112 in third gear then you have a different diameter wheel/tire combo, you're tuned for higher than 7K or your gauges are off...

 

hmmmm my apologies, i dont have any logs tapping out third gear....I dont like to do those kinds of crazy speeds on the street, so my only logs of it are from the track, where i am obviously usually letting off the gas before tapping out third.

the best i can find is a log going to 108mph at 6600rpm.

 

If you're hitting 118 then you're actually going to 7200RPM...

 

Those look chrome. I had a feeling they were Hyper Silver but I wasnt sure. 620 shipped to my door in 17's!

 

maybe, i have video. i just made this. although you cannot see the tach, it reads 7K, and the needle definitly went over the 117 notch on the speedo

i think he wanted to see second as well.. looks like 70mph
http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r...ent=1me006.flv

i dont have stock tires anymore though. i do have stock wheels.

 

Brian whats the light on your actual speedo, not the check engine light. Why do you have a CEL anyway?

 

it looks like a ghost or reflection of the cel. (its not there in person, just in the vid) i have an engine light because my cat clogged, then i hollowed it out, and haven't had time to get down to TTP and have it turned off.

 

I'm not really a stage two but i'm close enough. i got a 3inch pulley. And If by supporting mods you mean my 13.5 a/fs and 22 grand in warrenty work from the dealer than yeah I got support.....


Should be good times though. I have to avenge this kid from around here who raced a stock MSP3 at the track in his stockish cobalt and got raped. ***** on video too...It was a massacre..........

Your trap and times have increased a bit over the past week since this started. You my friend might actually have me a bit worried. My car better hold together for this battle.

 

Your zzp cat clogged or stock?

Mine just **** the bed hardcore the last 2 days, at the dealer right now. If they don't warranty it I want to hollow it out but I am unsure how to get the guts out with the bend in the d/p.

What did you use btw?

my zzp cat clogged

i went in from the back end with a pipe. the bend was causing problems, so i had to chop it up (my exhaust is welded, not bolted in) and then smash the honeycomb with a small pipe. the next day i welded it back up.

WTF was that?

 

Sorry i feel asleep by the sheer ******* pain I get from opening this thread
