245 nitto 555r. You can runa drag radial like that but you need a 15 inch rim. SO grind down the caliper. Hoosier qtp's are nice to

 

Yea I'm not really looking to grind anything. 245 is pretty damn big.

I did find a 245/50/16 but that just seems like allot of tire to get me through 1st and then slow me down the rest of the way.

 

not really it weighs less than the stock wheel tire combo actually

 

Basic math. He trapped 83mph in the 1/8 and you are saying he will trap 110mph in the 1/4. I don't know about Arkansas math but 110-83= 27.

Where am I being a hater??? I am just stating facts. His car is not going to do 83 in the 1/8 and 110 in the 1/4.

500+hp 11 second cars don't gain 27 in the back half.

And NO DUH you picked up more mph in the back half with a WORSE 60'. Do you have any idea as to what you are babbling about?

Like I said before show me another Cobalt pull a 2.0 60' and pick up 27mph on the back half.

PS quit with the childish insults

 

no you just have a lot of stupid comments on a lot of threads and just happen to be the last poster or so when i get there

 

Maybe you should read my last comment before you call any of them "stupid", canuckman.

 

Do u know what ur babbling about . Here slips from my 95 Trans Am . I posted 4 , I got several more . Kinda blows ur theory there bud . It all depends where the car pulls the best . My Trans AM was pulled like a freight train from 5K-7200 and it was not impressive power wise below 4K ( look at my dead hooking 60 ft times ) My Cobalt is the same way , though the most Ive gained with it in back 1/2 is 23 mph < that is with the stock pulley though .




Nice times 06 . . . I cant wait to start drag racing again this year .

 

Nice slips, but how does that "blows my theory"??? I can show you 500+hp mid 11 sec cars that don't pick up 27mph, I never said all of them don't, how much power was your TA making???


Still would love to see a Cobalt cut a 2.0 60' and pick up 27mph on the back 1/2 with under 300whp.

 

well the reason i can pick up so much in the back half is that, like stu said i pull very hard in third. and there is a huge difference between Drs and slicks. people running slicks cutting 2.0s or better have a hell of alot less pressure than my Drs which are just shy of 20 psi cold. thats why you wont gain as much later you sacrifice top speed for launch with slicks which is somewhat true with drs but not as bad. and hell between the 1/8th and the 1000 ft mark i gained 14 mph what makes it so hard to beleive another 10 in the next 320 ft still in 3rd gear?

 

The way u worded sounded like u meant them all No clue on the power of my TA , it wasnt ever on a dyno . I just tuned it with a wideband and LT1 edit and left it at that . The car 3700 lbs ( convertible) and the best et 11.69@119 ....a calculator says 474 at the wheels and 590 crank ...Im sure those are reeeeeal accurate

 

drag, power, gearing, weight.

But please prove me wrong instead of having Stewie insult me.

Yeah I went back and read it, I thought I said, 'There are 500+hp mid 11 sec cars...'. My apologies.

Nice car and times either way.

My main point though still is 27mph on the back half is no easy feet and stu and black are acting like they will do it without any trouble and still cut decent 60's.

 

probably becuase they do, spend some more time at the strip and have your car setup the right way and good things happen

 

thats a nice run.. i think you can pull out a high 12 if you manage a 1.9 60' and lighten the car a little

 

basic englsih, i said close to 110. there goes your whole argument. oh really 500 hp cars dont pick up that much on the backhalf, did you ever consider thats because they are already going so much faster????

thats common sense, if a car is going 95 or so in the 1/8 its traveling much faster across that remaining 660 feet THUS ITS HARDER TO PICK UP THAT MUCH MPH. and just for ***** and giggles i went and looked on some forums with plenty of 500 or close to 500 hp cars (vette forums mostly) and almost all of them running in the 11-10 second range pick up 26-28 mph on the back half ON SLICKS.

thanks man, glad someone else can see the light!

 

Ummm I may be wrong but aren't vettes a little more aerodynamic than Cobalts?

You still said 110. I don't see him trapping over 109 with a 2.0 60'. There are GTOs(a little closer to Cobalt's aero) with 85ish 1/8 mile traps that don't pick up 27mph by the 1/4 and they run 11s.

Still waiting for you to prove me wrong, one Cobalt pick up 27mph with a 2.0 60' or even 26mph. Until then STFU!

 

damn your a *******, i just said, and originally said "CLOSE TO 110" and you say thats not possible. THEN, your intelligent ass says "I don't see him trapping over 109," pretty sure when i say close to 110, 109 falls into that category!

if you want to pick apart, and misunderstand the english language then you let me know, until then STFU with your negativity.

there are GTO's trapping 85 in the 1/8 and running 11's?!?!?!? LMAO, you really are a moron. where you getting that info from????

none of the cars on THEIR official list trapped below like 88 anywhere below about a 12.5. uber pwnage there. AND almost all the cars on that list were in the 25+ MPH area between the 1/8 and 1/4

 

I meant 12s. My bad.

Are you retarded??

Point blank, show me Cobalt cut a 2.0 60' and pick up 27mph in the back half?

 

point blank, all of your points have been proven wrong. you are just waiting for something i have no access too. i said "close to 110," you say thats not possible, but 109 is. terrible argument, as were all your others.

 

wasey why do you even bother coming here.

your nothing but a **** stirring troll.

and dont try and feed me your typical bullshit line about "truth"

your full of crap and we all know it.

 

I said he won't trap over 109, basic comprehension.

Please prove me wrong.

 

after a thorough convincing that you have absolutely no benefial contributions to any thread ive seen you in, i am giving up answering any of your insanely idiotic posts.

 

Says the guy that can't back up what he said.

Show me a Cobalt cut a 2.0, trap 83 in the 1/8, and "trap close to 110" in the 1/4 then.

 

nice run

ftr: i ran a 10.8 in the 1000' and ended up going 12.90 @ 111.x My 1/8th was an 8.4 @ 87

 

And how much power to do you make???
