I'm from the small town of Lebanon, PA. We have a strip that apparently has been popular for a couple decades (makes almost a perfect elliptical track).

I've been in love with cars all my life. I love what you can do to them. I love the idea of a car that should be slower than an exotic $60k+ car... but isn't! Around my town live morons, however. If anyone has ever been to Lebanon, then you can verify. We're big enough for the kids to think they know everything and not be aware of what they don't know and yet small enough of a town for them to be completely out of the loop as far as what people are doing to cars around the country. Kids in my town swear by Honda... and what's worse... they adore civics...... for this reason I can't stand them.

Check a myspace page of a tuner from Lebanon sometime and you'll see what I mean. All show, no go, ricer peices of ****. This is where my war stories come in: I've eaten everything from an all show no go "tricked out" civic to a Tiburon GT v6 that (as far as I could tell) only had a body kit (but apparently he thought it added HP). I've seen Eclipses with more stickers than an elementary school lunch box that have been scared to race me because they know they didn't really have any of the work done.

All show, no go is a popular trend. Everyone and their mother seems to have a Carbon fiber hood, a body kit, and rims in my town. I really haven't gotten to race anything worth bragging about. So, I suppose mine is more of a War Tragedy Story.

P.s.-I'm new to CobaltSS.net, so leave a comment please.

 

Aaah.. welcome to the wonderful world of cobalts

 

same here in Hanover PA all show and no go. when I was stock I was destroying hondas and I have a auto LT.

 

welcome to the site

 

tell me about it. very little competition. I raced a turbo'd MR-2 that gave me a pretty good run. That's about it.

 

haha, yeah. I think what pisses me off the most is their ignorance. The fact that they actually try makes me mad. I used to have an LS before I got my SS and I was beating them right and left. It's almost not any fun........ almost...lol.

 

The sad thing about civics is that my buddys chopper has more displacement.

imagine that race

1.2L civic V.S 1.4L big dog chopper

 

I **** on civics. They suck. I hate people that think they are so great because honda makes some good open wheel racing motors. Big friggen deal.

 

this has got to be the best introduction thread I've seen yet all show and no go is pretty prevelent today,anyways welcome to the site,look foward to conversing with you

 

hey... honda makes good lawnmowers too.

 

hahaha... that's funny ****. I forgot all about the lawn mowers.

 

Racing a honda is like being in the speical olympics.............even if you win your still retarded............(no offense meant towards the handicapped)

 

lol... love the disclaimer at the end.

 

1.2L? lol

My Dads Harley has 110 Cubic Inches and put down 125whp stock. My car has 122 Cubic Inches (2.0L) and puts down 200whp stock w/ a Supercharger! I was pissed! lol His bike is just f-ing mean though.

 

The older civics have a 1.2L motor in them my buddy has a civic and I showed him it was slow.because I beat it with my 1971 honda trail 90(moded) thats a 90cc trail bike

 

haha I wouldnt show my face in public after that humiliation...

 

the cobalt is great...but i cant think of a single exotic it can hang with.

 

I have an exotic girfriend and my balt/Gt loves to hang with her

 

an old prosha with the 4 banger cant beet it.

 

LOL! how old?!
1986 Porsche 944 Turbo 6.0 14.6

i hardly consider the non turbo an exotic. hell i dont even consider that an exotic.

 

I belive the gt1's had the turbo 4 banger in them and they were slow

 

Next time your out order a side of chevy, ford or dodge good stuff

 

haha, yeah, I was making a general reference about car tuning... it's a rush. I know if you put the work in you can make a 'balt do 0-60 in the low 4's.

 

With lots of$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

yeah, i've definitely been doing a lot of reading online and twice as much dreaming...lol.

My pockets aren't the deep. Stage kits, turbo kits (twin charger), full exhaust, headers, cams, connecting rods, pistons, cam gears, flywheel, not to mention brakes to stop all that power... yeah, i could go on, but for now i'll just do this -->
