There are no shop cars in the throwdown. The LE5 cobalt is a shop car. The LSJ and LNF cobalts are personally owned vehicles.

 

ya but the cars were still built in the shop and they have access to quite a bit that us regular cobalt owners dont

 

that doesn't make it a shop car. when a privately owned car has all parts and work doen from and at one shop. that does not make it a shop car.

so what youre saying is, even though i've owned my car since april of '08, and that i've spent a few thousand on it. done all the install myself. if i were to take it to zzp, had all those parts replaced with only zzp parts that were installed and tuned there. my car is now a shop car? no.

 

Quit crying! Your river of tears is ruining my computer.

 

chill the **** out. i was just putting my 2 cents in

 

I guesse I'll just have to take a day off to beat you. One saturday of work for me is around $600, but it might be worth it.

 

can i bring my L61 into the competition?

 

newp. i think there's a 2.2/2.4 throwdown somewhere.

 

damn. i wanna race with the big boys. i think i can beat quite a few of them

 

probably.

 

Huh? By big boys do you mean Stage 1 SS/SCs?

 

no, just the sc n tc guys. doesnt matter the mods. just wanna see how my car fares against cars with power like yours

 

That would be like me asking a Henessey 1000 Viper if he wants to race to see how quickly I can fall away from him.

 

you have 411whp? thats only like 60 over me. plus im putting a gt3071r turbo on and going to prob 500whp so have with that what you want

 

uhm....60whp over you is 290...not 411

 

Lol those numbers are Pre-85, Pre-2.6 pulley on the harrop, with just a 100 shot. I thought your sig said 230hp or something? You're not keeping up with a built 2.4 and a 150 shot. You make on a big 150 shot what I do off the bottle completely.

Idk says you're south of Pitt. That means you're less than an hour away.

 

Who are you referring to?

 

if this statement held any water. my car would be considered a shop car in that sense.

 

As would mine in a month.

 

i have done 99% of my own work, and usually do it in a shop on a lift or dyno. so i really don't see why zzp is being held off the list. if they sold the cars, the end user could be on this list as well.

 

Up til now I have done all my work in my own garage on jack stands, but in a month, a shop is taking my car in to prototype parts. Since I am not skilled in the fabrication of these parts, I can't do that, lol. Doesn't make my car a shop car IMO... I still pay for the parts.

 

stop. you're argueing with a man about the same point.

 

Fixed. Guess I don't need ot agree as much as I do. I apologize.

 

you could just word it differently.

 

Certainly. Either way...
