Thanks guys for all the positive comments.
Yeah just let me know man us ex cobalt csrt4 owners need to stick together. If you need anything or want to know anything just send me a message on either board.
There were a few haters when I first got it but as things progressed people started seeing why I choose the car. Funny thing is here locally there are a few CSRT4 owners and a ton of NSRT-4 owners and I like to hang out with all the Cobalts more...The neon owners are still very arrogant and I just dont really want to be in with that crowd. Plus none of the Cobalts can keep up with ProZak so someones got to 
I can see people saying the mini van comment when they havent been lowered but come on now station wagon? Its called a hatchback...A station wagon would be a lot longer in the rear hahaha Anyway just messing with you man!
This was with the stock all season RSA's when it was bellow freezing and I didnt even get that good of a launch!
4.4 0 - 60 time, on a sub-par launch!!!
That makes our SS/TC look like mere mortals. If traction were no problem, I think a stock SS/TC could hit 5 sec 0 - 60 easy.
Yeah stock my traction was even worse than with all of these mods. The new clutch and flywheel along with the new engine mounts have really helped the car deliver the power to the ground. Whats really holding me back with traction is that I still have the large stock 19 inch rims and I have stock Goodyear Eagle RSA all seasons which are junk. I can go down to 18 inch rims, but to go any smaller I have to get the smaller brakes that real tune developed. So right now I'm weighing my options. I think I can very easily come in well under 4 second if I got summer tires and it was warm out.
Its weird cuz since I've made the switch from Cobalt to CSRT..... I haven't seen much hating on the Cobalt by CSRT ppl and not much hating on CSRT by cobalt ppl..... it's weird cuz the Coablt and Neon SRT ppl would be at eachothers throats.... and it dosn't seem to be the case with this car.....
I like it.

Dude, you look like you were in a rush or something installing all that stuff.
Your HID is just thrown on top of that heavy Optima. No real thought or care.
The filter is crushed to ****...

Um no.....It's called the mail. The filter was dented from shipping I hardly call that being crushed! Before I got the intake that I have the stock intake piping had a large black air inlet that went over the ballast so you never saw that ballast. I havent had time to move it yet because it will require removing the front bumper. Things take time man and I think I have accomplished quite enough in the small amount of time I've had the car. Its not perfect and my time isnt unlimited....

Totally Weak and Ghetto.

Thanks I agree I really like the way it looks from the front even better with the lower stance.
