it was 3200 with me in it and all interior, so im guessing that day me in it 3000?

 

that time was with zero tire prep (no burnout, 37 psi)

 

Holy those things are heavy!

Didn't Huckernage get his down to like 2300lbs??


Get some slicks...should run low 14's if not crack a 13.

That weight is killing you tho, get the sawsall out! :P

 

Hitting the track tonight (on a first date no less, hah).

Maybe I can do better than my 14.5. Still stock though.

Short shifter came in today, won't have time to install before track, and Hahn is playing push-your-ship-date-back again, now guesstimated for 6/13 (ordered 4/28 )

 

lmao, i drive mine every day...so no although that may be off a bit...wasnt a cert scale.

and im planning on a ported and polished head, lsd, upgraded axels and drag radials...that should be good for high 13s

 

Buy slicks over DRs and save some money + better traction + you won't snap axles and then you save even more money on not buying axles.

Its a win, win.

 

im running stock axels...i have a feeling hooking that hard will snap them anyway

 

Nope, it's not the hook that breaks em

Slicks safer than DR, IMO

 

really now? I would have assumed it was the twisting from the tranny saying "SPIN!!!!" and the tires saying "F UUUUUUUUUUUU" hahahaha
wheel hop then?

 

you ll break a differential before split a axle.


i use my car every day BTW

 

What's your logic behind that? I am gonna buy some soon and have been flip flopping back and forth on slicks vs DR's. Your input would be much appreciated.

 

Slicks being safer than DRs really only applies if you haven't done front and rear tranny mounts, because axle snapping is from wheel hop.

No hope (or whatever reason), HIGHLY UNLIKELY to snap an axle.

 

ya...i have full mounts and nice thing for radials is dot legal and can drive to track on them

 

i got some ?s my 2010 cobalt ss is all stock but a muffler and i cant figure out which is the best mode to run it in. i mean track off spins all the way down the track and launch control bogs bad in first. i know the stock tune sucks and i havent got any better times than a 9.30 in a 8th is that good or bad? i new to the balts.

 

Some one knock me out of the 1 spot so I can spend some more money and have a good reason to Togo the track ... Thanks

 

lemme go hit photoshop, brb

HAHAHAHA

 

Lol, there are plenty of us that went faster last year, if you really need a reason....

 

Soon enough. My car trapped over 118 just playing around on low boost a few weeks ago. I didnt launch the car hard enough to pull a good time though.

 

If your weather is anything like Pittsburgh's this year, I've only gotten 1 day at the track in, and it's already June.

 

Yep only had a couple days here so far. We are still working on the tune in my car though. Also now I am officially done with school and passed my boards so I dont have that to worry about now.

 

Haha yea I def know there's much faster.. And cmiller you don't really count I need a few more years to compete with ya haha although I'd also like to touch 11's on stock turbo

 

that doesn't mean **** in 2011. This is the 2011 thread, not the... "well my car did this last year and i don't wanna pull up timeslips" thread.

 

^^^ I just didn't wanna say that.. Lol

 

If I had a track the was closer than 5 hours away
