Heading up to Napierville Dragway today... going to see what the Cobalt can do on the 1/4 mile.

Well, I'm back... fastest time for my 05 Cobalt 2.2L was:

right lane
car #: 180
reaction: .006
I1: 2.460
I2: .000
I3: 10.387

ET: 16.113
MPH: 87.716

that was my best run.
i kept averaging anywhere between 16.113- to 16.735
pretty consistant... i can't launch the car for anything.

2.2 i assume?

 

yup... there were two SS/SC's up there, one was a G85. The kept getting beat because their drivers were snoozing on the line. Had they launched properly, they would've been a force.

I (ahem) got beat by a **** brown mid-80's Civic on beater 13's with SNOW Tires... i don't know what he had under the hood, but it sure as hell wasn't no 1.5L!!!

I kept beating this early-mid 90's Escort GT... he was concerned that he was getting dusted by a stock 2.2L Cobalt. There was this one kid here with a 98 Cavalier that had a 2.2L Ecotec swapped in. He was hard to beat. I couldn't get him, but this 2000+ cavalier did.

Anyways, it was a blast.
What did I break? Tripped a CEL... P17011 (Front Bank 02 Sensor lean)... cleared it at an autozone and it hasn't come back. Also, the insert where my oil cap goes into the head popped out of the engine. I kept wondering why i was smelling oil.
Fixed it and continued on my merry way.
