if you run w/ stage 2 balts you should def be in the 13's or at least low 14's, im gonna say driver mod, practice launching and cut down on your 60' times, that should really help

That's like a good actor wondering why he's making more money. "I mean, other actors are kinda like me, but they don't win. why is that. tell me why I'm better please."

Dude, if you're fast and stock... Just love it!

Somehow it might be a factory freak, oh well!

But, it does sound like those other guys don't know how to drive with 14.8 1/4 times and all...

yeah, not sure about this thread either. kid ran 14.8X's, which means the other cars suck at something or aren't running. doesn't mean youre "so fast"

Yeah a 14.80 isn't steller but he said it was in high elevation in Colorado so he could be over 5000 feet ASL. 14.8 would b pretty good high up.

OP it looks like u bought the car used ....if so the thing might not be stock .

alright. i don't remember who it was. but i was looking at youtube videos. saw a cobalt running 15.2's saying thats the best he could do. so i sent him a message and said its cause he was so high. but he ran at a previous track about 2months earlier that was quite a bit different in elevation and was hitting 14.9s. and quality'prep was pretty the same in his eyes.

So you really have no idea what DA does to a car. Thank you for clearing that up. Please exit this guy's thread with your ignorance on his 14.8.
