Sure buddy

As far as this thread goes, I find it rather funny that a bolt on, stage 2 cobalt couldn't hang with a heavy *** (check his link, full stereo system, in dash dvd player etc.) BONE STOCK AUTO WS6 (heaviest F-bodies made) with 20(TWENTY) inch rims

In an auto, 3800+lb F-body? With 20" rims? Not a chance in hell.

Becuase you said it was a worthless mod when it is not. Never said it was a big mod, but a mod none the less

WOW, way wrong. any stock lt1's is a pure *** raping in my car, my car can slightly pull many stock ls1's. once the mods go on the ls1, its game over and my *** is falling back fast though haha. close to stock ls1 gto's are fun though

i seriously ran an lt1 ss z28 and literally left him like he barely got on it. i didnt expect it and the look on his face certainly showed the same feeling. my dad's TBSS would have owned his *** bad from a roll, and thats not a good thing...

i must have looked over where you stated mods. and 96 in the 1000 would be good for a cobalt. because if i remember right the 1/4 mile is 1320ft lol

uh yea, that was my point haha. i trapped 105 this summer in 100+ air and 60% humidity if thats any indication so 107-108 is doable i believe, especially with my new tune

107 on and off the throttle 4~5 times every run to fight traction, hence why i ran 14.3 @ 107 and not faster my car is a easy 12 sec car with a 2.0 ft ft

even if you were on and off the throttle to fight traction it would only be in 1st and 2nd gear which would explain your e.t. your trp wont really be affected a whole lot by you 60 ft. alotta time ppl trap higher with worse 60 fts. dont ask me y!

n if a stage 2 with exhaust traps 107 then y did it get raped by a fbody that prob only traps 103ish
