Here we go again! Just minding my business, fairly sure of the fact that no one has a clue how quick this lil thing can be. Just got off work, its nice out and I am feeling froggy. I see a red GT, but hell, I see a lot of GT's and they usually never know I am game. Based on my knowledge of cars and my best friend Mr Google, I am pretty sure it is about an 01.

We are on the same long 3 lane strip with no light for miles. So I am egging it on a little bit (lil blow off here and there) he bites after a few:

Short story: after about 3-4 short 30-90 pulls, I pull a few cars each time. After each run he stayed far back so I figured he would go on with life. I was left wondering how he explained to his cute girlfriend why that Cobalt just did that :devil:

Well, I catch a light and do not see him anymore. I look over to my right and there he is................ window down and showing me a nitrous bottle :eek2:

Me: That's not going to help unless its connected
Him: I don't have the gas anyway so where gona have to go heads up
Me: Well thank God....and you should take me out of the whole. This thing is the new (but slower) supra.....its a better roll racer. Street launching is fun but a bitch
Him: Sounds good

Light was forever, so we kept talking......very nice young guy having a good time messing with me and showing off to his girl. Good looking stang too. Big ol tires on the back, clean and sounded good.

Me: So how did you know I was game, most people have no clue I wana play or that I even stand a chance. Most prolly think it just a freakin 4 door Cobalt
Him: I heard your blow off and boost hit even with my windows up, plus I kinda heard the SS turbos has some power
Me: Niceeeeeeeeeeeeee.

So I try out my launch control since its hit/miss trying to modulate it myself on the street so may as well get the best the computer can pull off. I hold the revs at 2k in anticipation and overhear him telling his girl, "yeah baby hes building up boost so he can get a good launch." As the turn light goes yellow I bring the revs up to the controlled RPM.

To my surprise I jump pretty quick, minimal spin and immediately pull a car. As I NLS (come on guys you know what it means by now!) into 2nd the pull continues like any of the roll races. We let up a little after the 1/8 or so with me a few out.

I love this damn lil DD and want to close my eyes till I tune it to really get her going............Spring is going to be interesting :devil:

Most bolt on 99-04 GT's wont run faster than a mid 13 or so, some will do low 13's, but they have to have good tires, and know how to drive. I've ran a couple in my SS and beat them pretty soundly.

nice kill! the guy seemed like a cool guy too. kinda hard to find those these days

Hugger1975

yeah, the bottle thing was funny....but he didnt make excuses or anything just told me how he knew about the SS and that he respected them.

very cool guy

amxguy1970

Are you serious? Did you really use that line? Please note I am an V8 guy but even I know what the Supra is capable of and completely respect it and a Cobalt should not be compared to it ever, I think you just single handidly removed about $200 off the resale of all Supra's.

Oh my I can't stop laughing, calling an economy car the new Supra, oh jeez.... I don't think there are enough smilies to end this. ROTFLMAO hahahahahahahahahahaha

Thanks, that just made my day so much better!

Just stick to racing that Camaro as that thing sounds bad and leave the Cobalt to gas saving commuting duties.

lol.......
i was kidding. remeber, i post he exact kill tories on my ls1 sight so i knew it would get a chuckle.

ifi lowered it $200 then sweeeeeet, mauybe now we can grab on in good condition

the balt is fun, but the camaro would pull it from 6th gear on a 30 roll......lol......damn supra *cough* cobalt roll racer



*damn i hate posting from my cell, the above is horrible!!!

nice job!!

glhs379

nice kill
you need a tune!

amxguy1970

man that really did make me laugh. Probably should delete that part before some of the other TC owners catch wind of that and start mentioning that...

I read your article, are you spraying a 200 system on the stock lower end? How is that holding up?

BTW, what magazine did that write up?

Tyler

Hugger1975

I am gona leave it......I think its funny, as did you
Plus I got the other ride to back up any trouble I make

I pulled the spray off. 102k miles made me nervous.

It was GM high tech mag

thanks guys!

and i soooo agree. shooting for spring

yah that it strange i never find a guy in a mustang that is actually cool...i had a KID with a sideways flatbill hat chuck the deuce at me and floor it on the interstate when i got next to him to try and race
(v6 stang with all the dress-ups of a v8) i thought it was funny...my tune was on already so i hurried up and got next to him as he was accelerating away lolol basically saying "where are you going? are you trying to run or something" and then i floored it leaving him in my dust

But awesome kill man way to put it to him

MaxVQ35DE

its definetly fun part throttle pacing cars that were once considered fast, only to lay into the turbo and do a roll on squealer past em....

Hugger1975
