Took a long test drive since I am a GM guy and love the ls motors but this was fun, cheap, and great on gas so it should.be a fun dd project in between the constant upgrading of my TA .

Thanks has some scratches and quad a pro detail it but some were too deep so when I remove the wing I plan to paint the scratched panels as well. I just gotta keep telling myself it isn't a weekend toy like my TA it is a daily driver so I have to live with some wear and tear on my 70 mile round trips to work. Wish I could have got silver it hides better and black is only.clean for.about 5min after you wash it. I put a sizable down payment and took it for a 4 yr not bit plan to pay it off by next year. I still want my C6 vette just have to wait one more year now.

Why get the vette?! You can out run almost all vetts with a tune alone, carry 5 people if you have to, and get better gas milage. lol Hit me up when your ready for a tune. It makes a world of a difference in these cars and I can add about 5-6mpg to your 70 mile cruize. would pay for its self in about a month lol

BTW those apartments arnt the ones in kingwood are they?

No Houston off I10 and hwy 6. I like the hertz c6 I had for a rental and wanted one ever since. I can out run plenty of vette's in my TA and the I am waiting for a tune till after the warranty ends. I am just getting the gms1 for now. It's a dd so I don't over mod it yet since I plan to stop spending so much buying stuff for my cars so I can pay it off in a yr. I owe somewhere under 12k so I know that is easy to do if I.stop spending Soo much on my cars. Hell just the cam, supporting mods, and stall for my TA were probably between $1500 and $2000 alone with no labor. so I am just fixing the 02 sensor and installing the 90mm maf and done with that car till I pay mine off or blow the 10 bolt up again and finally buy a 12 bolt. I was getting the gms1 from a dealer I do paintwork for at employee cost and getting a exhaust and I'll do a real tune next year when I own it like all my other cars.1st time I have had a car note in over 12yrs usually drive a beater and then buy the car I want cash.

So from your sig your cobalt is a TC and is tuned and runs a good 1/4 mile time. Trying to find a TC Cobalt tuned and modded to do a 40 to 50 roll with in mexico of course against my LS1 TA. I have no traction under 40mph at all and my 10 bolt is almost dead, again. I am curious to see how fast a tuned TC is from a roll to get me motivated to do more to mine. My TA's power range is from 3400 to 6600rpm and 1st gear in the A4 is usless with my stall, even dropping the pedal at 40 will send it sideways if the tires aren't warm and I have taken out enough stangs I wanna try a cobalt TC so I can see what mine can be made into.

Closest to me was a 6 speed 02 camaro cam pp heads tuned slp intake ls6 manifold headers dumped under the car. we stayed neck and neck from 55 to 130ish and laughed at the next light cause we staired at each other the whole pull lol PM me and well make a video of it or just meet up some time

Thats a pretty bold statement considering a stock Vette runs low 12s and should trap higher then even a full bolt on Cobalt with a tune =p.
