Forget that. New clutch time. I'm going to be going back with some 16" rims, hopefully some 235/50R16 cheater slicks and Rotated trans mounts to elimintate my wheel hop. The ingalls works great on the street if I want to do a clutch dump but at the track...forget it. Hopping like a rabbit.

Expect to see a bunch of CFL cobalts on that list within the next few months ralli

yeah i think the stg2 mounts were the demise of my clutch hahah. i don't hop anymore....at all. that with the KDW's. i hook pretty good. like, whenever i first went to the track with the new mounts and tires. i launched, hooked, and was WOT way before i used to be. and without hop or spin either. i had a feeling that would have been atleast a 2.09 60' time. but, the clutch just let loose right after i hooked. i was pissed

dang man. I'm going to be getting some KDW 2's for street use as well with my new rims. I like the pirelli's but they don't hook that well. Hence a 2.2 60'.

We'll just have to see how things go the next time I hit up the track. I hope I don't snap an axle.

yeah i was really surprised with these mounts and tires. the best 60' time i had before the mounts was a 2.19 which actually ended in a shitty 1/4 time cause it was windy. but theres soooo much of a difference with these mounts

wow, you guys have more excuses than a married man coming home late from work.

lol

glad this thread is back on track, sort of. I'd love to keep bumping people off the list as the times get faster and it becomes more and more difficult to get on the list.

Definitely. I'm going to the track again Friday. Gonna see about running some Drag Radials to see how the car hooks on those.

I'd love to see that list be nothing but 12's from top to bottom.

Nah, I would like to see some 11's. It's sorta dissapointing how long the Cobalt has been out and the best on the site is highish 12's. Most comparable cars have ran way better. Hopefully it picks up.

I'm going by ones posted for the draglist with slips/vids. Not people that just talk about times they ran or 1/4 times calculated by 1/8 times. Just using the Srt-4 for example, look at all the ones in the 12's, 11's, and even 10's (not talking about full drag cars).

Hmm, i need my dang pictures! Lol. Waiting for the track photog to put up their pics, and I will be #4 on the list. Oddly... I would be #5 on the LNF slightly modded list. How does that work?
