So I went to virginia motorsports park tonight with my cobalt ss. I didnt quite get the times i was hoping for but all in all i feel like i did well considering it was my first time drag racing a 5 speed. I ended up running a 14.9 at 98.6 mph, with a pretty lousy 2.6 60ft time.

 

Practice makes perfect ...

 

thats not to bad for your first time, about average, espically for your first 5 speed... keep working and you will get faster

 

not bad for a first time. that 2.6 can easily be brought down to a 2.2 60' and you will be seeing mid to low 14 second ETs. get some engine mounts to help with that wheel hop maybe. your trap speed is right where it should be for a stock ss/sc though.

 

here is the rundown of my time, my friend will be posting up the slip and possibly some pics. Anyways here is the run down.

R/T .604
60' 2.626
330 6.638
1/8 9.863 @ 75.41
1000 12.658
1/4 14.98 @ 98.64

 

Here are a few pics:





Timeslip is coming...

Here's the timeslip for Mimmsey's (#607) fastest run:



P.S. For those that might be interested, my fastest time in the 2.5L '06 WRX was as follows:

60' 1.933
330 5.807
1/8 9.002 @ 76.89
1000 11.731
1/4 14.053 @ 95.00mph

 

what mods are on the cobalt? nvm i see it now.

 

Thanks for posting the timeslip and pics chike.

 

No prob Michael. Weather conditions during our runs were as follows:

Temp: 55F
Relative Humidity: 75%

The altitude of the track is around 120ft above seal level.

Needless to say, it wasn't ideal racing conditions. With a lower humidity, we both would have been faster.

 

Damn baby, get that reaction time down!!! That's a half second right there!!!

But definately good for first time with 5 speed.

 

my focus definately wasnt reaction time, i was more focused on avoiding wheel hop and not bouncing the rev limiter. My best reaction time in my nissan was a .070.

 

FWIW, reaction has no bearing on your final et...your 60ft time does though!

Get your 60ft down to a 2.2-2.3 Michael, and you'll turn a 14.5 at least!

 

i hope so, my goal is a 14.4

 

hey post these times in the 2007 official quarter mile list and i will put up your time for ya!!

 

what do you have done to the wrx? if its stock, that is a really good best time imo.

 

Chike's WRX was bone stock when he ran the 13.7

 

Yea Thats Basicaklly It Your R/t Is To High, You Need To Get .400 Or Quicker, You See That 3rd Yellow Hit You Nail The Throttle Lol

 

I know that WRX is fast, but...

Is it just me or are these just perfect pics of just how much better the cobalt looks than the suby. I mean, its like a hot chick standing next to an ugly chick!

 

damn man those are shitting times....you better start modding it up!!

 

before i mod i need to get better at launching, then ill get a ingalls traction device.
