Cobalt SS vs GTO and Mustang GT

Went down to lil mexico (seriously!) and had some races. There were a bunch of cars to run although most were trapping like 95-105 or 150+(corvette crowd showed up with TT Z06's, ZR1's, nitrous Z06, etc). I wanted to race a termi or another 5.0 but most of the mustang crowd was just sitting.

These two guys were the only ones claiming to be in my range and pretty much hunted me down as soon as they saw me. They were at the dyno benefit earlier in the day and i don't think they believed what my car put down because the first 3 runs on the dyno were 100/100 due to the fact it kept screwing up (95+ dynos that day and it only did it to me and a nitrous+supercharged mustang ) The mustang crew there was laughing thinking the charts that it would read for like 3 seconds and show 260whp or so was all it had....

I didn't get a clean sheet so im not even going to post the numbers and the TQ never read. I was still happy to donate my money to the guys house that burned down. I still know what the car does at the track which is what matters.

lol can't go any wider than the 255's or im rubbing. They hook sometimes, but with 34psi in them and it being that cold.... it wasn't gonna happen. Really i need some better springs these allow for too much weight transfer in the back. Ride height is nice, they are just too soft.

It was. I gave him his choice of speeds as he was an auto.

I do NLS with the Exedy, and honestly its damn smooth if you are quick on the shifts. Car hasnt lost momentum and it has held up pretty nicely. None of these runs were NLS and honestly i was pretty much grandma shifting.

I find the exedy engages harder trying to engage around town.
