What's up? I'm Adam, and am currently stationed in sierra vista,AZ. I'm a newly signed up member, but I've been lurking the board for about 8 years or so. I know this isn't the introduction section, but I only browse a few select sections anyhow. So anyhow, this race took place about 6 months ago. My buddy who owns the cobalt,had just had it on the dyno and laid down 420/???. We had previously ran from a 40 roll, where he stayed beside me spinning 2nd and 3rd before hooking and leaving me standing still.

So after getting my *** busted, I thought I might have a better shot from a dig. Sadly enough the video is shitty because it was filmed on a MYtouch slide . But you can see the results even though its dark. Also, it was cold as ****, so the cobalt had no traction. I'm sure you'll hear it. he blew past me, once he caught traction.

My car: 1999 Formula
- 2001 ls1
-40k mile rebuilt motor. That is supposed to have, according to the previous owner Wiseco forged flat tops.
-Mcleod(sp?) Stage 2 clutch
-tick adjustable clutch master cylinder
- 3.73's ( forgot about this)

And that's about it, still has the stock paper filter. The runs were made at about 3400+ DA, in mexico, of coarse

*Disclaimer* - Video was taken from a camera phone at 1am. So of coarse the quality is not going to be great.

Que?

What's not to understand? Am I missing something?

By the way, since I'm relatively retarded when it comes to posting up these videos, and since I'm typing from a phone, if someone wants to tell me how to properly post the video, ill go back and fix it.

am i missing something?

1. i see no vid
2. a stockish ls1 would get destroyed by a 420 hp anything much less a 3000lb car.
3. what happened to the engine to need a rebuild at 40k?

99_Formula

Well ****.

Fixed it. The guy i bought that car from, had bought it as a roller, due to the original motor being hydro-locked. At the same time his buddy, who owned a 2001 ws6, was doing a LS2 build, and no longer needed his motor. So according to the previous owner, they rebuilt it because it had been run hard, and needed to be freshend up. So they supposedly rebuilt it with Wiseco Flat tops,blah blah blah... I've yet to pop the heads off, because I'm waiting to buy a set of AFR 205's and full exhaust. Since i already have the cam waiting to be put in, once i get the rest of my ****.

It's all good man. You arent missing much, and the video isnt going anywhere, now that I've found a way to post the video, and not look like a complete tool.

Ju1ce

Idk man... that video is pretty awful.

99_Formula

I mean honestly, what'd you expect from a camera phone at 1am? Not to mention, i've seen far worse videos on here. But it is what it is.

GXPPOWER

poor slobalt... pointless to push lots of power when you cant use it. kid would be quicker with less power or is he one of those lets do a 60 to 150 roll types?

I agree, they are nice little Pocket rockets, but you get to a point where you put to much power down for the car to ever use it.

Cobalt....spin shift spin shift spin

99_Formula

Eh, more or less. He's down for digs or rolls. The guy is a damn nice person, just kinda irks me a bit, because he loves to drive fast and reckless through the mountain roads here between Tucson and Sierra Vista. But i agree, too much power is useless if you cant put it down. He definately needs a new wheel and tire combo to even begin to plant what he's making to the pavement.

Sorry I forgot to quote the post that elicited my response.
I saw that an the first thing that popped in my mind was .
But I wanted to inquire about the foolish response without seeming hasty.

Also tough death man.

99_Formula

Haha,its all good man. He's actually my younger brother and has a decently quick TA. So he stalked me down on here. You know trash talk between brothers is going to happen.

As far as the death; thanks, i think lol. You cant win them all, especially with a pretty much all stock ls1.

DJ99Z28

Gotcha man smh I've been duped . I figured he was a troll due to the name and join date. I tried to resist feeding him but alas I failed.

I feel you on that, (Can't win them all) so my pockets are going to have to hurt to beat some lol.

99_Formula

Lets be logical though. With the amount of trolls this site has, it was like a .01% chance that he was actually someone i knew/ was related to. So it was a valiant effort on your behalf, haha.

The way im figuring it, is this way. I need (want) a set of AFR 205's, hooker LT's, and a lot of suspension work lol. I already have a G5x3 cam sitting in my room in the barracks, along with a pieced together N20 kit. Now i just need the funds for the other goodies. so i've come to the conclusion, that I need to either find someone to pimp, or become a jiggalo....

DJ99Z28

Shooot we are already being pimped out......thanks Uncle Sam ...smh lol

I'd kill to be stationed in AZ or NV due to what I've heard. Man I'm definitely envious of you!
I currently have my 99 Z28 in FL with Lashway Motorsports going the cam only route.
Before the end of next year I'll be putting better heads on there and an S60 rear-end.
