A Lesson in Traction...

I know what yall are talking about now about not being able to hook up off the line. I ran my car 4 times at the dragstrip Friday night(which is the first time I took the Cobalt out) and I could not get my 0-60 foot time under 2.5 seconds. I'm not a stranger to dragging my cars at the strip either, and I did everything I could to get it to hook up, but that damn thing just didn't want to. Looks like I'm in the market for motor mount, or I'll just make my own.

Friday night kills...
2003 Silverado
2006 HHR
and probably my best run was a come behind victory over a "ok modded" 95 Mustang GT.

What times did you run? I got the wheel hope blues REALLY BAD. My best time was a 14.7 with a 2.7 60'. What is every one running in the 1/8? On the same run it said I ran an 8.9 and that doesn't really add up. I think there sensor is in the wrong place perhaps.
