I do have shocks and struts still

Football acts as a drag bag at the track so my rear doesnt squat when i launch

Very simple setup

No offense dude but putting footballs in the springs seems really lame. Even if it is functional. Your car looks stock, so if a stock Cobalt SS with footballs in the springs is COTM I think this makes the whole site look bad.

While everyone else is slamming cars, coilovers, wheels, engine swaps, swapping front ends etc... What are the Cobalt guys doing? Were putting footballs in our suspension to lower our 60 foot time... Awesome.

Do you Drag Race your Car? Probably not ! Well i do and i bought and built it to do so, not my fault you can't understand what the footballs are doing in there.

Im not altering the exterior of the Car to please your taste, of course the exterior is going to look stockish its a brand new ******* car !

I entered the car and it won don't bitch at me, mod your car and enter it and maybe you will win also

I have a many parts sitting here to install

Pedders
ZZP IC
TWM STS

Thanks to everyone who voted for me

I could care less what the Cobalt community thinks. Most of them are really out of touch with the rest of the modern sport compact community that's part of the reason why everyone talks **** about Cobalts. No it doesn't look stockish, it looks completely stock, only other Cobalt owners would know the difference really.
