Default Cobalt SS/TC + BMW 335xi + C6 Zo6 + 91 Stang

Hey guys,

I will keep it short ad let Will and Dan chime in but I will toss in what I do know.


1st up:

Cobalt vs 335xi
1st track run for both of us this lovely 80 degree morning.
Cobalt: GMS1, K&N, Muffler delete, 2 baby seats in back...lol
BMW: tune + meth and not sure what else (meth not working this run)

Balt needs some drag radials! Do these have the same quality crappy axles as in the SS/SC Balts? I remember a buddy broke one at the drag strip on drag radials

Will's Bimmer rolls out. C6Z is (Yes, I'm a nut swinger for C6Z's)

Yep, in the video of the Balt vs me I usually bump the auto over to ds and then downshift it manually to hold 3rd or 2nd depending on the rpm I'm at about. Well I left it in ds and thought I bumped it to the right gear. I didnt so what ended up happenig is right when I hit it the car upshifted so it took a second to downshift and then I was off. Felt like I was chasing you down though. All highway runs I was spraying meth without issue. The strip runs were off meth. Had issues that are now resolved so I'll be shooting for mid 12's next time.

My mods were tune, meth, downpipes, intake, intercooler, half a cup of starbucks grande mocha latte doubleshot, 2lbs of excess coolingmist meth line, rollerboard and MacBook air(went straight to ohare from the dragstrip). I'm sitting at a conservative 16psi on meth and about 12.5psi off meth. I laugh at dans comment when he missed third. That car is a beast though. Even after missing he still came right around in a hurry. I should have tried lining up with the mustang, but oh well.

The first highway pull with the Balt was pretty good. No issues on my part for that run. Where is that video Jay!!!

Man I don't even drink coffee, but I always have to bring up a latte or macchiato just because it reminds me of this.

A very very short lived second I have no bones to pick about that run. I was on it quick, in the right gear, and spraying meth at full tilt. No issues and I couldn't have ran the car any different. Those z06's are just so damn bad ***

The mustang is quick, but is severly traction limited due to its current status of 1 tire fire. He meeds a rear lsd bad. It was funny as he was slow as hell through the most of the first 1/8th then catches traction and proceeds to pick up 31mph in the back half.

As for will i notice in our run its beep beep, there goes the bemmer, beep. Just from what i saw of wills car he should be trapping around 115 if he can get the meth to work correctly down the 1/4mi.

oh and will im sure i have your 1st run with jay on my go pro but i dont have my cable with at the moment. When i get it i will check if its on there and i will post it up. On that first run it looks like you pulled at least 4 lengths if not more.
