The height I'm at is as low as I'll ever go.I like my front mount not having bends and leaks.

 

i guess thats one good thing about being n/a?

 

yeah, seriously. To get as low as Dom and the rest of those stanced CobaltNation SS guys you need a body kit. Because my car is set up exactly as RKRamos's car and his looks ridiculously slammed where mine still looks low, but not slammed. The crazy part is mine is slammed exactly like his. the ground effects extend the body lower so the car looks insanely slammed.

That's the problem us Base model guys run into. to look as crazy slammed as the SS cobalts we need to go even lower. and sadly I'm not willing to mechanically damage my car just to make a point. The weird part is in person my car looks just as slammed as it is, i can't explain why it doesn't look very slammed in pictures. it's something everyone talks about when seeing my car in person.

 

i know that feeling! i hate how pictures do that somehow

 

You go ahead and be low and slow,il be over here trapping 108 in the quarter mile

 

Deal! lol

 

Sounds like a solid plan.

 

I wish I was low.. I only got the slow option.

 

a little work and grime goes a long way.

or just get some decent used stuff off the forums for dirt cheap.

 

ive ran into so many little problems being turbo'd i feel like going N/A and low and slow lol

 

bought not built is the way to go ahaha

 

Buying a fast car that you have not built is like drag racing a car with paddle shifters and calling yourself a good driver lmfa haha

 

I meant it in the way that built cars/engines are so much more hassle than bought ones and even when you know what you're doing, you're always stuck with uncontrolled problems..(same with modifying a car)...surely it has more character, and you're more in tune with the car; but that doesn't negate all the hell you're going through to keep it running imho. I don't feel like dragging on a debate about this and that and if you know what you're doing you don't come across problems yadda yadda, that's just my opinion and I'll leave it at that.

 

^^^ i agree with this. id rather buy a turbo'd car and do bolt ons then redo a base model like mine

 

Eh buying a built car/boosted car takes ALL of the fun out of it..for me atleast.I am a hands on guy so when my valves bent,I was upset for a little but then happy cause I had a reason to build the **** out of my motor.Everything done to the motor was done by me.The only issue I've had since building it was the timing wouldn't hold and that was because I didn't replace the timing set.It's preference really.People ask me all the time,"Is that a SS?" and the look on their face is priceless when I say no after pulling on there SRT/STI/whatever the **** I race.It's instant gratification when there face is like
