ill be honest. my 60s range from 2.3 to 2.1
its tough with stock tires

 

agree'd this forum is ******* retarded. If he said he beat a cobra and had no video posted, people would bitch and call bs without proof. He has proof and people are still bitching.

If it wasnt for the fact my friends own cobalts and it was my first car i wouldnt even bother with these forums...thats why i like the 370z forums...alot more mature people on there that dont bitch and whine about everything.

 

good times for your first time at the strip. But please dont think that cobra driver was trying, thats a 12 second car bone stock lol.

 

12sec stock? lol Not all are freaks and it takes driver plus car to = track time... Read my above post and the one right above yours. He just posted "ha, I beat a cobra yesterday" SO WHAT if it wasn't the best time for the cobra, it wasn't the best time possible out of the cobalt either. ****, I beat a porsche the other day. I know not all are slow, but at that instance, I won. So what.

 

First of all I want to say good job for your first time at the track. My cobalt SS/Sc ran a 14.1 @ 100mph bone stock. I was able to get a best of 13.6 @ 108mph with stage II. Here in the east coast our tracks seem to be a little faster then else where. Thanks to the close to sea level factor. Anyways, I wanted to make a few points. Second of all, there are a lot of people on cobaltss.net that think they know it all. It gets real old reading threads here. Not sure if its just the age group or what.
Lets now separate facts from opinion. None of us really know for sure why the cobra ran slower times then it should of. The point is, the cobalt beat him. Personally I would of been excited myself to win that race. The LT1 ran a faster time then your best for the day. This means you would of not beat the LT1. Yea, you messed up or your clutch had a mechanical failure and slipped. The same could of been said for the Cobra, and he could of said I would of won if this or that. Ifs don't matter in racing, what matters it what time you ran.
Some advice, next time don't worry about what car is next to you. Get staged and take a deep breath. Knock down that 60" to a 2.20 and judging by your best run (14.37 at 100.00 60 ft 2.35) you will improve to ~14.0 1/4th mile time. Play with your tire pressure if you did not your first time. Lower the tire pressure a few psi and dial in the best front tire pressure for the track conditions and temperatures. Good luck!

Its post like these

Please post up your time slip and your 60" time in a cobalt with stock tires. There is not to many people on this board that get 2.0 and 2.1 short times on stock tires. A 2.3 60" short time is great for his first time at the track.

 

how about a 13.872@105 with a 2.367 60' time?

 

If you can go for a 60ft time of under 2 seconds.
With that trap time of his, he if capable of a faster ET.

 

thanks, i really didnt mess with the tire pressure much, i got there and they had an hour left i basically just jumped in line. I think they were at 29ish which is way to high. I wasnt worried about what was next to me i was just concentrating on getting off the line halfway decently. With a little more practice i should be where i need to be, but it will be different next time, my TVS just came it today.
