Oh I get the "Slowbalt" my kind of humor.

It's like you saying "Yeah, it's a slow 4door car, but it's still faster than your car"

if we went on 3, it would no doubt have been ugly for him.

I was actually teasing Slwsvt more than you

good kill OP. I also like the slobalt badge. I have a friend that has a SS/TC and he has been thinking about getting the Stage 1 kit. I will tell him that it is definately worth it. I am also interested to see the trap speeds in the 1/4. I had an 05 SRT-4 with the stage 3 kit. And from a roll it hauled. But a dig was a different story. I but BFG DR's and ran a 2.1 60 ft....the best I ever got...and ran a 8.79 at 90.35 MPH in the 1/8th. So yeah the trap speed will really tell you how that thing moves.

my 1st few times out i couldnt not get under a 2.4.....
i think i have the 1-2 shift figured out so i am also hoping for a good time.

and yes, the stage kit is worth every penny.
this is how the car should run!

im still knockin on 29mpg every fill-up

no way!
if u click my username and search my "threads started" i have multiple. (lt1 vette, mustangs, 350z, etc)
this is just my 1st kill post stae 1.

and yeah, the z is warm weather bitch so it has limited time on the street, not to mention for just bein a 400hp car, no one every screw with me
i do however have a race coming with my neighbor in his cruising bike.

even with te cobalt, it takes plenty of blow-offs to get them to notice me.
just an SS body kit they assume

Does your Camaro say Slomaro too? lol

Those turbo Balts are a very efficient motor and quite potent when modded for minimal dollars spent
