Default killed SS cobalt

ok i was laying in bed trying to go to sleep when nightmare calls me and says "hey man we about to start talking **** to some rice are you up for it" Me= hell yeah i will be right there. i pull up and give her about a 5k rev. so then all the fart cans start kicking one guy hit his rev. limiter atleast 4 times we both walk up with a few other truck buddy's and they all are ready to race. i said i would race anyone of them a burnt orange Cobalt says i will run you. well we take off headed out of town to a back road when nightmare gets his first kill a blue cavalier with a huge wing and fart can. he pulled the ricer by about 2 cars before cherping the **** out of the tires in the 1-2 shift

we get to the back road were we are going to race and the little cobalt pulls up next to me and i asked him how he wants to do it. " i dont care" i told him you honk and on 3 we leave. ok, i stalled to about 1800 and he honks 1,2,3 and i left as soon as the 3rd sqeaked. i pulled about 1/2 cars off the line and stayed there until 1-2 shift and then i started pulling 1,2,3,3 1/2 cars before hitting 70 and backing out we both turned around and headed back but i stopped and him and all of the other rice kept on going all the way back in to town and parked about a block down from us. it was not a very good race but there was a Celica spraying and a evo with a upgraded turbo that would have been fun. only if could have sprayed there asses

Yeah, I pulled that Cavalier from a 50-55 roll later too. Its still a Cavalier though, nothing special. He did seem cool and waved after the race. In my book that is a pretty cool guy, no **** talking after the race. That deserves some respect in my book.

I smoked one of those guys a couple of months ago, he was really begging for it so I gave it to him!
He would not even look at me at the next stop light.

I am running one of those this weekend. My buddy just got an 05 Cobalt SS supercharged and its got a manual tranny. I called him on the day he got it and he said to give him a few days to get more familiar with it. Well he called my cell today and told me he was ready to go but I sent Jesse my PCM so he can retune it. I should be good to go Saturday or Monday.

GOOD KILL by the way

Give it time for the aftermarket to open up for those cobalt SS cars and I bet we will all be like, dayum whats in that thing, you can make some big HP and torque with the F/I 4 bangers, alot more than you guys will ever realize, and they weigh practically nothing...........a little tunning, pulley, and a few other mods and I see 13s easy.

I took a look at a coball ss site and with very minor mods if any they break into the 14s. With pulley and some other things some broke into the 13s. 14s will beat most trucks on the street if they can shift the car at all. Were you spraying on the race?
