Cobalt SS TC vs Evo IX - "I'm goin with the Cobalt"
A race against a friend of mine. The announcer was apparently in his corner. Enjoy

Haha, actually I'm the Evo driver. My Evo has basic bolt-ons, stock turbo, stock cams, stock block, tuned on E85@30psi, m/t slicks, weight reduction. I've got video on my youtube account going 10.96 - trying to break the stock cam/turbo record of 10.88. Just need the temps to get cooler.

And yes, everyone's cars run better in the cooler weather, haha. It's all about the Density Altitude - It accounts for at least 70% of your run.

Pittsburgh. Planning a trip to MIR with my sponsor in November for the Domestic/Import Shootout. Going to try and break the record then.

While its true that there was damn near nothing but speakers in my interior on that run, I've done 10s with just the rear seats and passenger seat out.
He was just bolt-ons and if he beat me with just that...well...I probably wouldnt have bothered braking when I got to the end of the track. I thought the video was funny just because the announcer is such an ass regardless of how lop-sided and unfair the race was from the beginning. This was actually the third time in the same night I raced that same SS - he has bet against me EVERY TIME.
