good, you're better off that way 
but yea, we were crazy bro. we used to smoke weed in class. yes, in class. we had a sneak a toke that didn't let any smoke out of the bowl or any smell at all. hold the smoke in as long as you can, and when you exhale there/s no smoke. right before you breathe out, add a piece of gum, and nobody knows. what idiots we were

I guess the $4000 I saved in buying my SS/SC over the Ms3 cost me Mazda's infamous reliability.

Yea I understand. Look, here is the deal. I don't care what these other cobalt guys are saying and I don't care what your saying when it comes to these little battles. I won't even get involved. I keep my mouth shut, race and then be done with it. As long as no one ***** with my car or trys anything stupid then I won't have to shoot them. No but for real, I would love to race. I have to finish putting my clutch/flywheel in because I burned my stock one up haha. As soon as I get the clutch/flywheel in I will PM you and we can make a race day at a track. Would you be willing to go to Cecil County, MD? I have two children and I'm busy most of the time but I could be free the last friday of this month. Talking about Sept. 28th @ Cecil County. That is assuming my clutch/flywheel shows up and I can install it. I would go but my car can't shift without a clutch. Later.
P.S. keep in mind I will have a vid cam.

the ms3 have 3 problems
1. Tranny mount, national recal, mazda fixed it end of story.
2. RSB nut comes loose on some, lock tite and a wrench, problem solved
3. Some memebers appear to smoke after idling for a long time with a TBE catless exhaust. The problem is the type of seal the turbo has, its a floating seal and needs pressure to remain sealed. AT idle, with a 3inch catless exhaust, theres very little pressure and the **** smokes for some. mazda warranties it and replaces the turbo.
All the other stories are flat out bullshit little problems that every single car has.

Stock Cobalts do not 60' good; does not matter how good of a drivers you are...anyone who has tried will agree. It is a super fine line between spinning=wheel hopping & hooking up. My best is a 2.18 on a very sticky track (after a pro car did a wheel stand) & after 25+ runs& over 20 years of drag racing. IMO a 2.05 is almost impossible w/o traction aids because I have tried hard. The Cobalt SS/SC are rated @ 205hp & ms3 @ 263....They should be a LOT faster than (not then) a 'balt. I have run 13.87 @ 100.89 with just an AEM air filter & air box mod but that was a perfect run on a 53-55 degree day.I think/ hope to run in the 13.6s when I get stage 1 which will put me @ less than $450 in mods. Most races come down to driving if the cars are anywhere close....
i believe his name is stangkilr give me a sec

1.94 60 and a 13.9 @ 104. yea right, sorry i dont believe that one bite. If he actually nailed a 1.94 he would be more liek 13.4 @ 104 btw did i miss the timeslip or was it not there?

it obviosly didnt since he ran a 13.9 @ 104mph. The trap speed indicates teh type of power the car is making. His powerout was just fine. The only way he could get such a bad time with that trap speed if is he drivers a car that is alot faster and missed a shifted, or the tree fucked up and screwed the timer up. Im going to go with option number 2. Back in the day i nailed a 1.4 60 with my sentra and went 14.9 @ 93 lol. Wierd **** happens some times. Personally i dont believe that 60 one bit unless he actaully backed it up with something else under 2.0. Hell going 1.98 and 1.94 is a difference as is. Somehow i doubt he ever hit a nother 1.94 60 in his life on stock tires.

he ran a 13.9 @ 104 with that 1.94 60. Thats pathetic. His best, done on a differnt day was a 13.7 @ 104, my guess mid 2.1 60, nowhear near a 1.94
do you see where im going with this. 2.1 60, car goes 13.7 @ 104, 1.9 60 car goes 13.9 @ 104? yea right, the tree fucked up

Yeah, it was a bad tree... lol
In any regards sub 14's... stock tires.
I ran into the same MS3 on the way home from work again last night. I think we take the same route.
Nice car, I am sure once he bolts a few things on he will want to run again.

yea, i have to say i didn't think much of the ms3 untill i saw one and started talking to laloosh about it. but to go from 14.1 to 13.6 with just an intake, that's damn amazing. that's a half second with an intake. sick.

Yeah its a matter of time, if he opens that thing up with all the bolt ons its all over for me, but no shame for losing to a car thats hooked up. Especially when I have a 3 myself. You can hear how muffled that thing is when it's wot. Theresa real nice engine in there, somewhere. I find the 2.3L sounds pretty decent with an intake and borla or magnaflow.
I know 2 guys in Toronto who have the HiBoost kit from Juan down in Mexico. They are close to 300whp. Lots of work though... but this was done back in mid 05' so props to them. The hiboost kit is pretty decent, its a piggyback though I do believe... Juan has been known to make visits to certain mazda meets for tuning etc.
Oh btw there's something up with a .5 sec gain from an intake. There more to this storyI would imagine.

these comments lead me to believe not many.
calling bullshit on his slip is just another comment on the pile in this thread where you show your lack of experience.
just because you hit a good 60ft, does not garuntee you a great time.
ive had some of my quickest times with 2.3 60fts....and then cut low 2.1s and had average times.
sometimes you can hook that lauch hard as hell, but you will get a bad case of wheelhop past the 100ft mark.
there are a thousand possible scenarios that can cause you to have a great launch and not hit the perfect time.

as far as driving experience, he was tri state auto x champion, and ran 14 flat with his 175 hp spec v. i know he goes pretty often to the track. everyone in the nissan scene knows the name laloosh, even though it's been a few years since he had his nissan. i believe he had the best times in the country for a n/a spec v. so lack of experience is not an issue. i bet he has more track time than at least 90% of people here, and can outdrive them as well. if he was saying all the same things, but had a cobalt, i think people would have a different tune here.

your assuming that what happens after the 60ft mark, and before the trap line, are always constant.
how can you do that?
temperature alone will make my car trap up to 5mph slower...
yet my first 1/8th will look identical on both slips.
so would my slip be called bullshit too because the trap didnt look right?
you cannot look at a timeslip and call it BS based on such little information
there is such a miriad of things that can alter times that its ignorant to call someone a liar based on what you THINK should be happening.
