Default Slobalt vs WS6....few expletives

No vid but had to share.

A stockish lookin TA pulls up behind me. After a few hi speed blasts he yells out t-top. "Sooooo wtf is a slobalt?" So we laugh & I yell thank u for notcing cause no one ever does.

We have a few more runs. With me pullin away hard each time.

Next light convo goes like this as he pulls up on my side:
Him: what the fuckity **** do u have done to that thing and how much $ into it?
Me: u wont believe it, like $400. Just a dp, smooth inlet and tune.
Him: god damn u pulled away hard in that little thing
Me: i suprise a lot of people.
Him: **** i want one damnit...im gona look into them and pick one up for a daily, that thing is just wrong
Me: prob find a used one for 16k and only 09 came 4door turbo
Him: nice.....then he peels away.....lol

Short story but it made my day. Guy was cool. TA was clean and had to be very stock.

Track times for the Slobalt commin up this Sunday :woot:

Some of my best races was in the HHR SS. Sleeper for sure. Glad to see you keeping the 2.0 Turbo kills alive.

I raced a silver Cobalt awhile back, his license plate said, "Slobalt". Definitely had a few extra mods in there. We only got to do 1 or 2 roll races, but both times he pulled on me. From like 60MPH to 110MPH and he was about 1 or 2 cars in front of me. Cobalts can be quick little sleepers.

Nice, after I buy a house I want a nicer car to DD thats still quick. Camaro to racecar duty, and still have truck for winter/tailgating. Stuck between Cobalt SS/TC, 05-06 GTO, new Focus ST, and a Speed3.
