I raced a cobalt ss today. From 2nd gear roll, dig, to a 3rd gear roll...here's my question: ive seen people on here with the same setup as me and they run 14.0. i checked the quarter mile times for an ss and it's 14.6...am i running 14.6? because i ran almost only a car ahead of the ss from a 2nd and 3rd gear roll...huh??? sorry in advance if i make no sense...

 

1 car is about a second so your pretty close to a 14 second, damn thats slow

At what speed? One car length is far less time than a second where I come from.

 

hmmm...this is actually bothering me now...i also ran an h22 ek and stood a fender ahead of him...hmmm...so my car is THAT slow?!

 

the driver suck

 

you suck mr.EGg. you needa give me your front lip.

What do you consider slow? Cobalt SS' are fairly quick little cars. An H22 EG is also a pretty quick car. An H22 EG should have no problem getting into the 13s.

 

1 car means e had a gap about 1 car in in between the cobalt and the civic, at the end of a qauter that is roughly 1 second to one half second depending on how fast your going


stop street racing

 

eh...i wanna hit 14's.

 

Here's a novel idea. Go to a legitimate drag strip and determine what your car actually runs, rather than trying to figure it out by "2nd gear roll, dig, to a third gear roll" street races.

 

jus go to the track!? and find out what you run

 

Ive got a Type S Spec H22 in My EG , I am getting down into the Mid to Upper 8's in the 1/8 Mile. I have some internals and some headwork. But that is Eagle F1's, and Tein Suspension. The driver must have not known how to drive the EK with H swap... Or he has serious motor problems. The Cobalts are stout, especially with a different pulley, and some dyno tuning, My buddy has one and he's around 9.0 in the 1/8 Mile. Best way to solve your problem is to go to track, and see what happens.

 

i dont know about everyone else but tracks in my area shut down i think in begining of november and dont open again until April? i say go buy a G-Tech and find a nice strait road.

Go learn math and some common knowledge.

At 95mph a car is going about 140ft/sec. That is about 6 car lengths in between.

 

Yea, i still have b16 cams.

 

Get rid of your GS-R pistons. Go for some P30's, or something w/ higher comp.

Ditch the B16 cams, CTR if your on a budget, if not get something else.

Have fun.

 

Basically what you have is a stock motor that flows really well haha

but yea get some pistons, valve train, and cams....and a chip if not a tune....then alll that stuff you got will be put to good use....good luck

 

even i beat a cobalt SS. and im not even fast.
