There is a lot of Failure in this thread.

Someone has admitted to having the answers... and some of you guys are debating on how a Cobalt can't run a 12.4 @ 109.

06black... how about you fill us all in.

109 is a very reasonable trap for that time with RWD. in the 100ft i trap the same as my buddy that runs 10.48s at 99. i run 10.89 at you guessed it 99 thats 4 tenths faster with the same speed. oh and that time correlates into a mid 12 on his car and a high 12 on mine. i have trapped 111 in the quarter so so assuming he gains another 12 mph like i do (which im sure he does he can out run me from a 2nd gear roll) that puts him 2 mph higher than this guy thus meaning it is very possible.

jaja it seems u know nothing, it is acutally the other way around!!! He had so much traction that he ended the 1/4 mile at 109mph. The better the sixty. the faster you'll get down the track and the lower your trap speed will be.

WTF I run 12.41 in the 1/4 mile I should have left him right I mean there mid to high 14 second cars stock? so what gives.

My car is a 2005 Mustang GT 5R55S Auto with JBA LT Headers, JBA Catted H, Aluminum DS, 4.10 Gears, JLT CAI, Steeda CMDP, Steeda UDP 93 race tune. why did I get beat like that from a stock 2008 Cobolt SS?
I am a very good driver so no cracks on Driver Mod. I run 12.4 - 12.6 1/4 mile consistantly


thread is over on mustangforums

he talked to the guy and it is a 2008 turbo cobalt ss with a intake
Okay, How could you NOT be a good driver with an Auto?

No, because those require a manufacturers plate on them, not a paper tag

That's what I was thinking. Plus.....are the turbos out yet?
