I'm on my way home from work and am in the process of turning right at a light. He's waiting at the red to go straight on the same road. I know it's a Cobra and I was hoping it wasn't stock, I wanted a challenge. I wait at around 40 until he catches up but he passes me and is cruising around 60. I shift to 3rd and let a hiss emanate from the BOV. He finally acknowledges that I am there and slows slightly as he downshifts. He hammers first and comes back about a bumper ahead. I spool and start to pull, about a fender lead at the top of 3rd gear. I shift into 4th and hold it, no more pulling so I let out. Only race I've had in a long time and it turned out to be a great one. We both slow and make the same turns towards my house. Turns out it was a guy I know who lives around the cornerand used to be involved with a Mustang shop that produced some sick cars. I used to see him driving his turbo fox around with the parachute on the back all the time. The next day I hear from a friend that he was a little surprised I ran with him like I did, the car trapped 122 it's last time at the track.

 

wow nice race! i wish i could say i killed a modded cobra! ahaha

 

OH my gosh! Total BS! I cant wait to hear.........." I beat a modded C6 from a roll dawg!"

 

He drives a DSM, not a Cobalt. Not that a HEAVILY modded Cobalt couldn't hang with a car trapping 122, but there are certainly more DSM's that can at this point.

It's quite a feat, for sure, but I wouldn't call BS until there's more information.

 

You are right. I made the whole thing up.

I don't drive a stock DSM.

 

Sounds like a good run!

 

you drive a stock dsm ??? and you can pull cobras??

 

He's not stock.

 

From above...

 

yeah i guess i just misunderstood what he said i thought he was being sarcastic about both statements

 

Holy **** People!!!! Learn To Read!

Sounds like a nice run.

 

to anyone else calling bs!! hes running 11's!

 

A Cobalt would have to be modded to the MAX or be stripped to hang with a car trapping 122. A 122 trap speed with a decent 60' is a low 11 sec run. Its alot earier to go from 102-112 then in is to go from 112-122!

Though trap speed doesnt matter that much from a dig. There is a guy that trapping 109 but running the 1/4 in 11.8. When I was trapping 109 i was running 12.8 lol. Trap speed tells you more of how your car will do from a roll.

To the OP very impressive! What are your mods and how much power are you making?

 

Stock motor save cams, FP Green, FMIC, 3" exhaust, 880cc injectors, Alkycontrol meth kit, etc.. Those are the major players here. Car has only been on a dyno once and it was a long time ago when I was running my welded center transmission. I have previously trapped 119 so that with my weight *should* put me around 430whp. Of course all of that is bench racing and the car is running better than that particular track outing. My car is about average for the car scene down here. Guys in the 12's are the slow ones.

 

Tell me about it. In town I have one of the fastest if not the fastest car but I go to Fort Wayne and that all changes. I remember when 12s were pretty fast. Hence the reason I did the built engine, 12s are average or "slow" now. As soon as get my new tank and fuel pumps I should have a low 11-high 10 car. Cant add any more boost because my pump is maxed.

 

ok. sorry man.........didnt hear anything about the DSM.........good job

 

hah, yeah. the NVMC (northern virginia mustang club) they have stangs running in the 8s and 9s all day.


04yellow, i'm in the same boat as you. my MAF, injectors & pump is maxed. new cobra tank and GT pumps are going to be installed sometime soon.

 

and this didn't clue you in?:

the refrigerator sized fmic is very visible.

 

WOw man, I wish I had your DSM.

 

which trim level eclipse do you have? GS-T?

 

That's funny. That's the old tiny FMIC. This is the new one.



GSX. Only reasons to own a DSM are the 4g63 and AWD.

Then make the drive over to this coast and buy it. It's for sale.

 

what are u asking for it?

 

9k. I think it's a reasonable price, considering stock cars are still going for 5-6k. Mods alone don't really add value, but unless you can perform all the labor that's gone into this car yourself like I did you are looking at easily as much as I'm asking in that alone.
