Fast Cobalt Spotted!!!

This is not your Average Cobalt.

These are pics of CSI Drag Racing’s new 2006 Cobalt.

Somebody please tell me the headers on turboed cobalts do not all look like that one.......

And why are the tires to big in the back??

And I almost guarantee that, that car does NOT need a parachute.

You wish the manifold would look like that... Equal Length Runners with Mandrel Bends. (***** Gets Firmer)

I can almost guarantee that the Parachute is there to help the brakes not burn up after repeated hard runs.

It is still three 90* per runner, that is not good equal length or not.

Repeated hard runs??? They shouldn't run that car back to back to back anyways. To me that is like trailering a 15 second car to the strip. If you don't NEED a parachute don't put one on.

Trust me the car needs the Parachute. The NHRA rules say that any car that goes faster than 150 mph has to have a chute. We were at the track last night testing and the car ran great. Lets say this, there was a big block Monty Carlo that would not run us. The car runs in the Turbo Street class at the NDRA events across the country. As for the header and intercooler those were built by Full-Race. The header is as close as you are going to get to and equal length in that car.

I am just loving the stealth look of it . Makes me want to make de-SS my SS or at least make it look like a N/A SS

Any links to get the FULL info on this car . More curious about the suspension than anything .

The car was pretty much built from the Ecotec buildbook. The front suspension is a coil over mounted on a Grand Prix control arm and spindle with Grad Prix rotor and Caliper. The rear is just a fully adjustable coil over.

Have a lookey again, they are infact 90 Deg, but the fact that the runners are basically 1.75" each is pretty impressive..

You don't know anything about this car, how can you guarantee it doesn't need a parachute??!! This car was built using the parts out of the handbook, which takes a stock ecotech to ~1200 horsepower!! You don't need to be judging anything! In fact, I think this particular car runs 9's? GM has a 1200 cobalt that runs 6's or better if I recall, which uses the parts that are listed in the GM Ecotech handbook.
