I was only half throttling first if that and second spins once the turbo spools. Third and forth are golden though. My cars getting stored this Saturday so there won't be anything more from me until next year. Definitely planning on getting the M&H slicks or doing a brembo delete and getting 15"slicks next year. This year sucked for numbers on my part. Things kept breaking and I just didn't have any time.

Indeed. Just need to wait till next year...
Hey now. Let me be a ginuea pig. 
Exactly. It's so hard not to spin first and second with the 4.45s. I had footballs in the rear and it helped quite a bit with squating and movement but nothing for wheel spin. Next year is a story though.

To be honest, with a nice wheel/tire set up, some e47 I think it might even goes 10s. I think the reason the cobalt community doesn't see a lot of 10 and 11 second cars is because no one takes the time or the effort for a nice wheel/tire set up when making power. Your car has potential.

Like I've stated before, next year will definitely be different. I'm tired of the spinning and bs.

[QUOTE=Wert842;7192418]Closest place for E is like an hour and a half away. Really isn't that good to dd it like that especially when its that far away. Maybe this upcoming year though. I got a beater now that I'm planning on keeping for a good bit.
I agree, i only run E on the weekends when racing, then switch my tunes for DD. I agree with the spinning crap. If you can throw down on a turbo, and trans might as well spend the cash to put the power down.

I did crappy at the track, but still put down a 13.1@112mph the other day.
I HAVE A SRI, INTERCOOLER KIT, CATTED DOWNPIPE, MUFFLER DELETE, AND 24PSI HP TUNE. NON LSD 3:82 TRANS.

That makes me feel a lot better about my 13.5@ 107-108ish, its so damn hard cut a good 60s and not spin 2nd in a theses cars. my goal for this year is to driver mod myself to a 13.1 (maybe a 12.99999 with a good tail wind ) on street tires.

Thankya. It is pretty nice actually haha. And expensive. Having a custom set of axles made as well to replace the LNFs. I just need a chance to work on it. I've touched the car, And I mean literally just walked past and touched it, maybe 3 or 4 times since late 2012.

Exactly, Hondas have been doing it for years. Want a 1.6 60ft you need big slicks. With the proper weight reduction and wheel/tires it doesn't take much power to go fast.
