Cobalt Sedan SS vs Lt1 Vette.......the rematch Hi,
I'm Troy Maclure,
you may remember me by my annoying yet interesting posts about a lil DD turbo 4-door that is only related to the vehicles of this forum by the badge on the front.
Tales of hemi whuppin, lt1 pullin, I cant believe its not butter, no vid havin action.......
the beginning:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/street-ra...lt1-vette.html
Anyway,
I get a knock on my door and my neighbor buddy with the A4 Lt1 Vette says, "I recently sea-foamed the sucker and gained 3/10 on my G-tech (which now runs a 14.0) and I wanna rematch with yer lil pain in the *** Cobalt."
I happily oblige. grab the keys, a hat and some purple drink and off we go.
The details:
1st run: damn FWD + 50 degrees = spiiiiiiiin. He pulls 2 cars QUICKLY. I try and NLS 2nd (no lift shift) bit its in vein as it losses boost. It takes all of 3rd (105mph) to just get even and we let off.
2nd run: this time i still spin and he jumps a car but I nail 2nd and 3rd and pull past very nasty at the top of 3rd ending with about 2 cars lead.
3rd run: I get my best launch but he still pulls a car. By top 2nd I am almost next to him and pulling a car past by 3rd. this time we go to 4th with me a good 2 cars again
Only way to imagine how it looks is imagine being behind someone in a little bit less powerful car in front of you. You both nail it, you pull over and around him as you bang a few gears. Kind of like when the camera car pulls past the 2 guys racing.....lol
I love to look over at his face as I wind out a long 3rd and pull past the deep sounding v8 with my woooooshing lil 4 door
I ask for a 30 roll and he passes
We meet back at his place and talk about plans for winter.
Him: headers, ignition, gears
Me: tune, K&N
Should be an interesting spring
He also mentioned how loud the turbo and blow off is and he can hear it over his car.
He seriously needs an exhaust!!
thanx for reading

Purple drank FTW lol great races. Im seriously considering investing in a 2 door cobalt ss/tc. I was looking on the hahn website http://www.turbosystem.com/ProjectVe...obaltSS-TC.htm
for like 3 grand they had a cobalt in the low 12s. Not bad at all. Set of good tires for yours would prob do wonders

nls is:
stay in the gas and at 6k nail the clutch/gear and dont let up on the gas. u need the clutch just dont let up on the gas. it works for every gear as long as u are at WOT.
the system holds boost and revs for a quarter second and if u nail it, its a seemless gear change without boost loss. if i was capable of the 1-2 at the track recently i wulda went high 13. but the wheelhop made it lose boost and gave me a 14.3 @ 104.
and cyrus, its a damn fun little car!

Yeah, I figured, but I really want to see how the car's stack up to each other, so I have no problem running from a roll. Based on your MPH I'd say there's a good chance that he'll pull me. Should be fun to find out

at the beginning of this thread, you posted a link to your first race with the LT1 Vette. in that story you were just about to eat some oven fresh pizza when your neighbor demanded a race with your Cobalt. you postponed the date with the mozzarella topped goodness to run him instead
the guy who "lost you" was saying no way would he have done the same thing. in other words: hot pizza > racing an auto/vert/LT1 vette
