I ran one from 0-80. It had an exhaust and probably an intake and a blowoff valve from the sounds of it. The kid was at my passenger door when I let off the gas.

GM Stage 2, stock everything else. Run him again after he has 1,000 miles on it.

Your probably right.. I really like the Speed3s.. His just doesnt seem like it pulls that hard.. He can turn TC off and tires wont spin at all

Im on E85 which helps alot so I dont think him having 1k will matter

That's because it isn't broken in, has BRAND NEW tires, and is on the stock tune which has torque management on the 2012's to help with torque steer.

This!

They put a bunch of rediculous electronic nanny's on the 2010 speed3's, and I'm not sure but I think there may be even a few more on the 2012s. You can turn tc off but boost is still limited in the first 3 gears. However, tuning will fix most of this...

E85 makes a huge difference on the cobalts. Are you on 100%? My friend let me drive his 100% e85 SS/TC at the track. I ran 13.00@114. And it was the first time I had ever driven a turbo cobalt, from the parking lot to the staging lane then down the strip. lol!!

The MS3's, though a little late to the e85 party, are having pretty good results too. However, the aftermarket has only recently taken off for us.

Lol!! Most people do... I think the smile is a little much for some people. The older one is a little more raw and a little less... happy... lol!!

And the whole keeping it stock for warranty thing won't last long. It never does with cars like these... lol!!

It does look like its smiling And I'm sure he can do a tune then revert it to stock to take it to dealer

2012 CWP GenPu looks sexy as hell I wish I could get my wife to buy one ha ha she wants a real SUV/CUV though ftmfl.

Yeah he needs to put atleast 1k miles on that thing before he starts to super abuse it.

Genwon's with e85 are starting to pull like crazy and finally driver broke into the 11's so there is a USA speed platform in the 11's. Although it did take him BT to do it lol.

Yeah it's nice to see one in the 11's. I wish more speed owners were interested in drag racing. I think a couple of the stock turbo 100% e85 guys will be more than capable of 11's with slicks if they would just go to the track...
