Arrow Rematch of a recent race

A couple weeks ago these 2 same cars ran, but the Ion said he was having huge heatsoak problems so he said the only change he did was unclog his intercooler. We also let him ice down before each run.

SWITCH TO HD!

Not really, just a similar blower whine.

Yes, and by A LOT more. He said he thought he'd win by 2 cars. We just got headers on the Camaro last night, plus a few other goodies so Round 3 will come soon and the Ion will be seeing some taillights pulling away unless he drops a pulley in there.

Just waiting on some sustained good good weather. Can't stay nice for more than a few hours here. :/

I do have a quick run from that same night, SS vs H/C Challenger. I think I might just post that.

That car doesn't have that much work done to it, seems like it basically just has some simple bolt-on's + an E85 tune. Runs pretty good for what's done to it IMO, pretty cool car.

Cool races. Whether he's telling the truth or not about where he gained his power from, it does seem to be running quit a bit stronger.

I always liked the way the Ion Redlines look over the Cobalt SS. I actually almost bought one once, but that center dash gauge cluster was a bit much.

#1 reason I would never buy one. I think if they would have had the G5s along the same lines (LSJ/LNF) that would have been pretty sweet.
