Hey Boosted, did you ever run that '05 Cobalt at the track? I lined up against one once, he ran high 12s and beat me. That was humbling, I was surprised how fast they are.

I did before the new clutch and such went in it, ran a high 13 only pulling a 2.2 60ft time and it was hot as ***** out with a broken intercooler pump. Got everything fixed and took it back with DR's for a 12.9, got 40 mpg on the way to the track and back home too They are amazing little cars and cheap to modify, they show great gains with minimal work. I will have another one at some point.

seems about right to me, like many people said get the 60' down a bit. I think the rule of thumb is roughly 1 tenth off your 60' = 2 tenths off total ET. take that with a grain of salt though.

I'm going to take more weight out of it too, rear seats, belts, brackets etc. Spare tire and jack are gone already too.
