I got the gauge pod from ebay, it was like 10 dollars.

Also my car is completely stock, just a K&N intake, no LSD.

I also have the driver mod stage 3...

That's because the first run was a baseline pre-driver mod.

Does anybody else have any in car shots from the track? I am curious to see how other people launch their Cobalts.

? for you guys...

That doesn't hurt your car when you run it like that on the track?

Also, Merc, where did you get that camera mount for the back?

No, i'm asking if it hurts your car to push it like that, just in general.

Make me a camera mount and i'll film my 12 sec cobalt for you all! I launch at 3500 , never lift off the gass and shift like it is my ex-wife's head as a shifter knob!

im sure its not good for it of course but we both (my built sunfire and cobalt ss s/c) have forged internals and are already built for boost so gm kinda expects us to rip these engines so theyre obviously built for some abuse as oppossed to a stock cobalt ls or something with regular internals.
