Hey i come from and my friend was saying that the cobalt s/c was doing high 14 low 15 i was like what ? I tought that the SS/NA was doing that then i wonder is there a differnece of the 1/4 mile in US or in Canada?

 

Elevation plays a HUGE role.

 

it all depends on elevation and ambient temperatures.

the cobalt ss is a 14.5 car. However, maybe canadians cant drive as good as US'ers so w/ driver are running high 14's low 15's lol.

man im gonna get it.

 

i think you hit it on the head.. must be cold fingers up there in the north.

 

... where do you live

lol

Or maybe the 2 ss/sc my friend saw just sucked i dont know if this is thuth but ss/na are doing low 15 high 14 right

abd well i never when to a 1/4 mile course yet but i know temperature does something but what is elavation sorry if i sound like a noob but ill have to learn sooner or later lol

 

I've only heard of one SS N/A 2.4L doing a 14.9.........EVER. Most of the time, stock they're mid 15's.

Elevation is the distance the track is from sea level. For example, there are some tracks in the US (and Canada for that matter) with almost 0 ft. elevation. These tracks will almost always yield the best 1/4 mile times because the air is much denser. Take a 1/4 mile track from Calgary, Alberta and their elevation is really high.......somwhere around 2500 ft I believe. They will always run slower times, and there's nothing they can do about it.

 

Ohh ok

 

My tracks actual altitude is 4500, corrected = 7000+. The best I've seen a SS/SC do here is a 14.9 w/ lighter wheels, cai, and muffler....but he fried his clutch too. Next to that is me at 15.1. I have yet to see a SS/NA coupe 5-speed run, but My wife's SS/NA 5-speed sedan runs 16.7 to 16.8. I have another friend who runs a SS/NA coupe with auto trans and shift plus that has run 16.1-16.4. As you can see, altitude plays a major factor in 1/4 times.

 

i know back in utah, i saw rather heavily modified Stg 2 cobalts run mid 14's
