i actually think they are a pretty nice car and all becuase when my buddies not on the throttle he is getting something like 30+ mpg's on the highway. they do have their downfalls thou which every car does, they just need quiet a few drivetrain/traction mods before they can really hook up. just my 2cents and im sure ill get bashed a little but hey whatev.



and also to john, 20 pounds per wheel is a sh*t load of rotational mass. you just added 40 pounds of rotational mass to your rear drive tires and if i remember correctly reading somewhere on this site, rotational mass 10lbs= something like 50 pounds dead weigh. so you really just added something like 200 lbs of dead weight to your car which would make you run .2 or more slower. not ripping on you or anything cause you did say you had a set of stickies on the 16's. but nice race good kill op.

and actually the axles arent half bad if you eliminate wheel hop and huge clutch dumps. i have broken two, one was with my dr's and a 5 grand dump, the other was on streets with a 5 grand dump. there are plenty of guys running high HP numbers with no problems.

how do you get 40 extra pounds of rot. mass when he has 20 extra lbs on four corners??? pretty sure thats 80 unless he converted it into a motorcycle.

what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

if you put in some higher gears (lower numerically), it will help you hook a bit, as well as load the turbo and likely make it spool quicker...

Best bet is a solid engine and transmission mount, Better tires than the crappy P-Zero Rosso's that come with it, and some traction mods.

To many factors cause the cobalt not to hook from a dig
From a roll with a alot of mods they give good comp to f bodys
My 2 cents

A FWD car with a positive displacement blower = hello 2.5+ '60's.

It takes a considerably modded cobalt to hang with an F-body, FRUMROLL.

so pretty much stage 2 cobalt=lt1
more mods than stage 2 =ls1
