TVS vs. GTI & STI
no one is butthurt. i'm just tired of seeing you run all around here tooting your horn about something that isn't that great. you ran faster than most ss/tc's on stock everything congratulations, put as much money into a tc car as you did yours and see what happens. the ones on the stock turbo and slicks are only a few tenths behind and multiple have surpassed, so I don't see what the point is that you're trying to portray there?
you don't make excuses? that's hilarious, i'd go around and post 15 of them from quotes from you but i have better things to do then sit on a cobalt forum and hope that everyone thinks im so great cause i ran a mind blowing 12 et. omg someone call don nace we got a new competitor for him.

it is what it is. There two that have run faster on stock turbo one is zzp the other is cmiller. I think there is maybe one other guy that is a few tenths behind. 90% are stock turbo are in the high 12's low 13's
why because people have this mentality on here that a stock turbo tc is uber fast. I simply told the op with his setup he shouldnt have an issue and it should be a good run. Then 05 wants to run his gums off i simply stated the facts.
Nah. Tuned my Tom. Wickedss2005.. I'd say i'm around 330ish.

never said the et would but the trap on the streets which would be into the 120's plays a huge part of a roll race on the street. Point is youre getting all butt hurt because a blown car doesnt have an issue with a turbo car?? thats quite comical. I have excuses for nothing. And i run what i do because im on a slick thats funny plenty of guys run on slicks or radials and still cant come close. Honestly id love to run your lil 252et setup as well
FYI, last year, i ran 114mph on street tires AND slicks, back to back. 14.2 on the streets, 12.3 on the slicks. So don't gimme that "I got a 120mph trapping car on different tires" excuse. You trap what you trap, and its apparent you trap 117-118 at best.
Trap differences between tires and slicks is a massive urban legend. The reasons for the differences aren't even clear to the people it seems to affect.

some people dont understand simple physics. On my slicks that are 15's i trap 117. My 18s allow me to cross the trap with plenty of third gear left where im fighting limiter on the slicks. Some people will never understand though that gearing is definately changed
