I have TiVo so I am watching it right now but at 11 the History channel had on a show called Custom Cars. In the new age hot rod section of the show they had a Cobalt!!! It was at SoCal Speedshop. Apparently top speed of 243mph! It was defintely turbo and was running up to 45 psi. Wow!!! It was just mentioned very briefly but wondered of anyone else saw it!!!

 

Damn! Didn't catch it...all I've got is some ******* marathon of Modern Marvels!

 

man i love the history channel... if i could have 1 channel then thats probably what it would be... im a nerd i know

 

It was part of the Modern Marvels marathon...the episode was called custom cars. It was like a 15 second blurb but I thought it was cool they used a Cobalt rather than the traditional Honda Civic when talking about sport compacts.

 

Haha I was watching that too. The button where you can change the amount of boost at will up to 55lbs.

 

yeah I saw that to ,, it was a short part, but it is good the used the cobalt for it insted of any import car,,, also I have seen that car in a Mag dont remember wich but it was when it ran at the salt deserts or something like that.

 

yea i saw that a while ago, i actually posted a thread about it but by the time i got it up it was over lol. The history channel is awesome especially with all their war stuff.

 

I was watching that too..THe funny part is that my brother was talking about how much nicer the Gti's are compared to the Cobalt, and then they showed that lil clip..

 

I did see that episode, it aired a few weeks back, too. Also saw an episode of Auto Maniac w/ Golburg and they had the SoCal bellytank car on there with the Ecotec engine. They showed a picture of the LSJ, it was the engine they chose to use when resurecting one of the original cars. The show was about land speed cars on the Bonniville Salt Flats.
