So i remember a week or so ago there was a post about a cobalt running a 8.96 or something like that.

anyways it was a big deal about it and i was wondering why? I seen something in an super street magazine about a drag racing event and **** where mazdaspeed 6 and cobalts and scion tcs were all running in the 7s..

So i mean correct me if im wrong but why isnt that the big deal. and its not 1/8th mile either because these cars looked exactly like the 8.96 guys car

 

what??? there talking about 1/8th mile times

 

nope that is 1/4 mile. I have pictures of it from that day that it ran 8.9. I was at the import vs domestic at MIR.

 

post pics pleaze, i would like to see that beast

 

so fastest cobalt.... turbo charged or supercharged
hehehehehe as if we dont already know the answer

 

turbo duh

 

It was NYCE1's Cobalt... just Youtube that **** it's on there!

 

link to vid?

 

I will later tonight once I get home. I am at work.

 

i know about a 950hp 2.2 cobalt is that the one ur talking about

 

Jeg Coughlin won the NHRA Pro Stock champioship in a Cobalt his best time is 6.55 @ 210.01. And yes it is 1/4 mile.

 

see thats what i mean.

They are running 7s and better and its Everyones mortgage cobalt. thats the main sponsor google it you will see it

 

have yall not heard about the 1000WHP 2.2 street legal.by jason whitfield. http://www.rageimports.com/media.php (pics)http://www.rageimports.com/press.php

 

That's not really a Cobalt at all though. I has a front end that vaguely looks like it, that's all. I'm guessing the 8.96 Cobalt was still FWD and 4cyl and the other faster times are not. I haven't looked into it, but that's my best guess

 

sorry it took so long but here are the images and video i have of him from MIR. the video is still uploading to youtube. but he runs 9.20 at 158mph in the video.

 

The Cobalt driven by John Heinricy had 1450 HP. I'd like to see some times from that one. It still looked like a Cobalt and all, just with a couple mods. I saw it at the ALMS racing in Detroit and got a few pics but they are back in PA.

 

both Gardella and Marty have been on the low 7s Front wheel drive turbocharged Cobalts

 

but those aren't really street cars anymore, this guy had full interior, and it could of very easily been driven right on down the street. very impressive to hit the 8s

 

i wanna know brian ballards wheel/tire setup. i know they're obviously m/t ET drag slicks, but i wonder what size they are. and wheel size and bolt pattern

 

all i am asking is why was it such a big deal about him doing an 8.96 or whatever when there are cars that are still the 4 cylinder fwd cobalts running lots faster

 

marty ladwig FTW, i meet him once when i was at track in san antonio last year, it was at last years import faceoff, hopefully he is there again this year(21st of dec) if he is i sure do want to talk to him again, he seemed like a cool guy and said he set up a shop in SA that specialize in the cobalt

 

omfg i want the jason whitfield cobalt soooo bad its seriously gorgeous, that is the next thing im doing to my bumper

 

Cause it's in the STREET CAR class.
