my friend in his cobalt SS ran a 14.1@100mph last night, my best run was 14.8@97mph 2.3 60ft(still needs some work)

with both have the air filter mod only difference is he has the LSD and I dont

someone please call BS just to be a dick, i saw it with my own 2 eyes

Go Cobalts with LSD!!!

 

I won't call BS, although neither of you are 'stock' since you have modified the 'original' setup. Still, its a great run...I'm sure you can run lower 14's

 

An air filter counts as a mod.

 

finally some more proof that once people get better at driving these things they could be a 13 second car stock. congrats to you and your friend those are some sweet runs.

 

black06ss they are still going to doubt it man, we have been trying this for months

 

oh yeah, good run guys

 

haha i know its not stock but an air filter.... cmon it aint gonna take off more than .1 in a 1/4 if your lucky haha


still im happy i finally hit 14's, now i gotta go for mid 14's before i go stg 2

 

they will one day beleive you me.

 

dude the air filter mod didnt do ****, he ran a 14.1 in a stock ss its that simple, nice work

 

good ****

 

he didn't happen to run that at houston texas did he? I'v seen 250+ hp dynos and low 14's from stock or slightly modified cobalts, all from texas.

 

yea b/c better air flow doesnt result in more hp...... think again my friend

 

Air filter could be good for 0.1 - 0.4 seconds depending on the car!

Still, they are good runs, but it technically is not a stock Cobalt SS!

 

my buddy up here in NH ran a 14.2 with the airbox mod...

 

Go Go Cobalt With Lsd!

 

nice runs. although that's not completely stock, it's close enough.

 

to my understanding LSD isnt going to improve track times, only cornering. 2nd 14.1 stock? i wanna see a slip.

 

i promise you guys if you took a stock cobalt ss, dynoed it, and immediately after did the airbox mod and dynoed it you wouldnt see any difference, maybe 1-2 HP difference, which would mostly likely just be the repeatability factor of the dyno

 

nah he wasn't stock thats like saying "well comon guys its just a motor mount and a short throw thats close enough to stock." Nice times but he ain't stock. Take it how you wanna take it but than if its so easy and the filter did nothing take it out for the stocker and see how easy it is to recreate that time again. Simple as that.

 

nice runs

 

yea i second that....LSD would do nothing for drag racing... so it was the driver mod that made the difference! Practice and you will be up there with him

 

i dont need to make up BS, i was racing there aswell, itd only make me look like a worse driver hitting a 14.8. hes hit a 14.1 14.2 and 14.4 with just the air box mod. The End

and sorry but its been proven the LSD does result in better track times

 

well for the most part any 14.1 cobalt i've seen has had an airbox mod at least. Hell one of the guys in my town ran a 14.1 but he had the airbox mod.

 

Post up the time slip. Was he running drag radials?

If he got perfect traction, its definitely possible. (e.g. 1.9-2.0 60's on the stock tires).

 

don't need radials are cars only need a 2.1 60ft and a competent driver. The car traps high enough to get those freak low 14 ET's every once in a while.
