wahoo finally a race in my cobalt that got the adrenaline pumping.

So today was a nice sunny cold day in michigan. About 25F outside, we had just got snow earlier in the week so the cobalt was covered in salt. Decided to get a car wash, return some movies and go for a rid.

I was out looking for a race, really couldnt find anything. This time of the year most of the cars on the road in michigan are beaters and 4x4 SUVS. I get to a stop light to make a right hand turn. I look to my left and there is a sexy blue lightning about ready to to go green on the light same way as im turning. Its a 2 lane road, so i quickly jump into traffic, no cars ahead of us because of the red light the lightning was at.

As soon as i get into the right lane, hes in the left lane, he catches up to me. I was in 2nd at about 3500 RPMS 35 ish mph the sweet spot. I punched it first, his front bumper was at my door. I quickly put his front bumper to my rear bumper, and which point he halted my advance. Redlined 2nd and did a really nice shift into 3rd, by this point where pretty even, hes slowly pulling away, finish off 3rd at like 85 MPH and i shut down with my front bumper at his rear bumper. We both slow down because of an upcoming stop light, i look over give him the thumbs up, he smiles and nods. The end.

Its a loss, but i feel i held my own in this race, so im pretty excited about it.

 

i applaud you.. finally somebody not full of ****.. keep up the modding and you will catch up..

 

nice run for a stock car.

anyone know what those things run stock?
i had a guy yapping off at me last time at the track about how he would smoke my ass with a 13 flat and he was "BONE STOCK"

i just kinda smiled and nodded.

 

Very nice!

 

lightnings usually run mid to low 13's stock.

 

i know this is kinda old but still the best my brother could pull of in his L is a 13.8 stock but i can smoke him. he is on his 3rd engine though first one blew at a little over 500 hp and tq

 

too bad you couldn't keep going. a lightnings top end sucks a big one.
