Hey brother I still want to run your camaro against my bolt on only T/A but rear end is on life support so that isn't going to happen until I get my s60. If you are up for some friendle DD runs before it starts to get too cold let me know. I've been wanting to run a modded turbo balt around here and you seem to be able to drive the **** out of the thing.

I couldn't hit better than a 2.4 60 ft with my 2.0 Turbo at all so I could just imagine how the cobalts do. They finally have suspension parts out for these vehicles that make people hook well.

i can only imagin what they would run if they were set up to run the quarter

reverse mounts and some sticky tires are worth thier weight in gold but unfortunately, i have re-aimed my attention to the hugger (installing nitrous as we speak)

I had so much wheel hop that it scared me to stop racing. the engine blew up back in June so Im don't modding and sold all my stuff. I still have the Stage kit but thats all. Im going to do a nice system in it. I now have a truck that I will mod for all my fun stuff.

It's good to see ya still kicking *** and taking no names.

didnt hop the last time out....the new 235's i put on must be a lil softer?
they are still stock-like contis but i got 10mm wider.

wish i had another shot but it was so busy i got 2 runs. the 1st trying the launch control.
second run was my best so the fun part is goin back and tryingto repeat or better that perfect launch (perfect meaning sub 2.3 sixty)

Good kill. Done the same a few times myself. Best one was the time a '05-'08 GT dived in front of me as I was about 50 ft from a stop light. Totally uncalled for! He takes off fast and I'm pedaling as I try not to rear end him since he's too slow. As soon as we are across the intersection and traffic is behind, I switch lanes and put a few cars on him while he makes a good college try of it. Slowed back down and let him catch up. He was like, "what the heck is in that thing?"

Good kill. I waxed a 05-09 GT doing the exact same thing a few months ago. He saw me pull out of the same shopping complex behind him and proceeded to dodge and weave, and then do brakestands at EVERY light on the way to the highway. He probably had bald tires by the time he followed me onto the freeway, needless to say his 300rwhp GT was not outpacing my 450rwhp f-body. He gave me the ricer flyby and cut off about 20 people to get off the highway on the next exit. Sometimes I wonder if these guys watch F&F and just go out and buy a car right afterwards.

hahaha im imagining them watching F&F reruns, then jump in their ride and drive like asses....

i usually dont get these types of people while in the camaro.
if there is a cut off lane nxt to the camaro, they usually pull back with little drama

I had a guy earlier in the summer sitting at caton farm turning south on 59 do a burnout in his late 90s mustang gt. He just got it as it had the temp plates still on it. Funny thing is he thought he was doing a burnout nut the back wheels weren't moving at all. I love the smell of burnt clutch in the mornin'. Hugger, I may have some time tomorrow night to do some runs if your interested. Had my son all week so it's hard to get out of the house.

Yeah that's true haha! Hopefully I get a chance sometime next summer to see your hugger around as I'll be driving to plainfield more often to see my wifes sister. Judging by the pics I have seen it's a awesome car.
