hey all im new with the cobalts i like them and may get one. but i got i couple of questions befor so. Are they reliable. are they worth the money blah blah and how hard would it be to make a ss/sc to get into the 12's

thanks

 

search button, use it, no more typing

 

harsh

u'd be better off getting a GTO 6.0 for a 12 sec reliable car

 

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

Anyone else notice that this is posted in the 2.0L LNF SS Turbocharged General Discussion when he is talking about a supercharged balt?

 

not true.... just takes money.

 

if you want a 12 sec drag car get something else.. if you was a ***** magnet get a cobalt

 

haha, give him a break, he said he's new

smaller pully, clutch, injectors, cooling mods, nitrous, tune, cai, exhast, all the mounts, drag radials, maybee pistons,...

 

hahaha I got excited I thought there was a 12 sec

cobalt ss/tc Drag clip on youtube or something lol

 

talk to vitory red ss.

 

dont need that much.

axles slicks 2.7 60lbers downpipe catback and a good driver can hit 12s.

 

it's not that hard to get a cobalt into the 12's. most people just aren't willing to do the work and spend the money. with the traps that cobalts are putting down, with good traction 12's are not far away. people will add power mod after power mod, but then they won't do things like axles, slicks, mounts, etc. don't let the people dismay you, 12's are possible and reliable. there's plenty of people here trapping 107-108 all day long. with traction and a great 60 that's 12's. but, they'll bitch and bitch about how they can't get better times. i wonder why?

 

I havent been to the track on my current setup, but im close to what u listed what do u think i'll be with good tire and good pass???

 

what D4u2s0t said absolutly right you need the right modifications to prepare you for the power mods.

 

yep. it's mind boggling to see a 13.9 at 107 get some traction and you won't be in the 13's anymore

 

to be honest, and this may sound harsh, but considering what we see most people run, youll probably barely sneak into the 13s on street tires.


as far as im concerned there are way to many cobalts out there with to many power mods, and no idea how to really use them.

look at some of these times from my local srt fellas.
keep in mind this is at 3000ft altitude
12.860 @ 102.66
12.785 @ 103.36
12.694 @ 106.99


notice anything?

 

why do the srt's have traction and not us...

 

because they get mounts, and slicks, and learn how to drive on the 1/4 mile

they have wheelhop and spin issues just like we do trust me.

but as you can see, alot of the traps people are running around here are good for ALOT better times than we are getting.

 

because they have traction mods

yep. i've been saying that forever!

 

As have I.

I run 13.8 ET at 99 mph in my '71 Camaro, and that's babying it for traction so I can pull 2.00 second 60 footers.

Numerous calculators say I have ~275 HP at the rear wheels with a total weight of 3,600 with me in the car (I weigh 250 lbs.)

My rear gears are killing me though. I cross the finish line at ~4,400-4500 RPM with my 3.42 rear end.

 

we just have to many guys with 250hp+ who are running ETs of 13.8+ with traps of 105+ and 60fters of 2.4+ lol

 

yep. i never understood why people keep adding power that they can't use

 

thats just horible. maybe the 13.8 with no traction, but i have never ran under 110 mph. even when i spun 1st gear.

 

Ok well im confused u said with these mods i'd be in the 12's then u said i'd be lucky to hit high 13's. I asked with my mods good tire and a good run what would I be at. What r ur mods???

 

I was reading a motor trend article for 05 that matched the SS/SC VS an 05 srt4 . What i found interesting is that they said the cobalt was balanced at 60/40 front and back for weight distribution the srt-4 was 64/36 . Do you think the extra weigh bias towards the front end help the srt any? I'm really not sure , just curious as to what others think. Thanks
