"But most of the people that have responded to me in this thread are fanbois that think the Cobalt is the only car graced by the hand of God."

Man, You fail to realize, We're on an island called CobaltSS.net. I think you're going to get that A LOT.

 

I realize it and I realize it is pathetic. I am here cause I like the Cobalt and I really like several of the owners. I help when I can by posting facts and keeping the BS to a minimum and for that I am ridculed, but do you see me go off and start insulting people all the time??? No. I have gone off on one person, but that was more then justified.

 

and i'm not asking you to sugar coat your opinion, i accept your opinion, and you're correct, "bone stock" was not the correct word choice. However, I don't believe that removing the spare tire and jack from my car and changing the air filter brought me from the low 16's that others are running to my 15.6.

I simply posted my times because i was happy with them and i wanted to see what others thought, if you want to nit pick over every little think, that's excellent, more power to you for being the CSS.net lead detective. all i'm saying is think about the reality of it, is ~10 lbs and a drop-in filter really going to do that much?

 

First you claim the track times are off, now your complaining because of him removing the spare?

I guess I lied about my times too then. Although my first 14.39 was done with everything in the car (plus a 12 pack of Coke, Moutain Dew, and Dr. Pepper). After lunch I removed the spare, and my passenger seat, and then my best was a 14.35. Thats a .04 difference with a lot more weight out of my car. Not really much if you ask me. And those seats have some good weight to them. A lot more then that spare does. And the whole changing of the filter?

How petty can you get?

 

Nobody said you lied about your times. I am sure the jack and spare weigh more then 10lbs. And there is another thread on here with the times being off at the track. It happens a lot more often then you people would like to think. Either way, congrats on your 14.35 and congrats roller on your 15.6.

 

we never said anything about the times being off. There was a junior dragster there that was only running 1/8 mi, and when i went after him they forgot to reset the clock to measure 1/4 mi so my timeslip only read 1/8 mi when i ran the RSX. That's it.

 

And I said it is possible the times are off.

 

This will always be controversial

Anyhow roccityroller--whats the mileage on your car? I am wonderring if that is a contributing factor. Almost every car gets quicker after its broken in

 

haha...i think i just rolled 5k on the way back from the track

 

defiantley plays a factor I'd say. When I first raced my 2.4L I had maybe 1300 miles....I have
over 6000 now. Track opens next week and I am expecting some new bests.

 

If i removed my invisible elphant friend i would have been in the 12s

 

orrrr if you DIDN'T remove 2nd, 4th and reverse...

 

haha good call. is your linkage fixed yet or you still rockin in 3rd/5th on long trips?

 

very true

 

Your all ******!!! I had all gears until I raced a mazda in flint...then lost them again...the car is sitting at saturn of flint with a half page long list of fix it problems

Dan

 

I believe you have email about S.E.E. ^^^

 

Are you getting a new tranny put in??? Once again roller, great time!!!

 

i thought about pulling up next to you at the light when we got of 69 but then i was like "nooo he'll just blow his tranny again and then i'll have to buy him a case of beer to make up for it."

lol

 

lol I still woulda raced ya. Just got a call from them...They'll fix everything but the wing...I gotta call and see about the tranny.
