For tony, popped my cherry tonight.

[Chase0224]

this is just copied and pasted from the cobalt forum.


Tonight was the first time i had ran at the strip. Took my friend for Vids and pics. Had a blast i wish i wouldve went sooner. Actually managed to beat a SVT Cobra. Wouldve beat a lt1 z28 but my clutch slipped baaad going into third and it was my first run ever. Slips and vids will be up for haters. Also, idk why but im trapping insanely low with a decent 60 foot time? any advice?

Lt1 z28- 14.21 at 100.27 Me- 15.04 at 98.47 60ft 2.39 (clutch slip baad in third)
Evo 8- 11.45 at 123.26 Me- 14.37 at 100.00 60 ft 2.35
Evo 8- 11.13 at 122.67 Me- 14.69 at 99.28 60 ft 2.56
SVT Cobra- 14.53 at 109.25 Me- 14.39 at 99.73 60 ft 2.32

I think my 60s were decent for my first time. Have to wait till spring but then ill have TVS 2.7 meth, and other things

Im running 2.9 60's, pacesetter header 3 inch dp and catback with a massive leak as you will be able to hear.

i shouldve, but i think it was because A. it was my first time ever running at a track, and B. my stock pirrellis which suck to begin with are really really bad. I cant wait to see what i run in the spring with the TVS and a fresh set of BFG KDW2's

yeah it being ur first run could of done. the mustang did have a much better launch it seems...them tires are sick..my buddy is on his third set for his srt4 neon. they hook up like mad

[BigRobSA]

Nice run!

Now, you're going to get addicted.

Heck, I just bought a 2003 Silverado to tow my race vehicle, 2007 TrailBlazer SS, to the track because I don't want to break anything on a driven vehicle and get stuck 100+ miles from home in BFE, Iowa/Illinois/Missouri.

Before 2 yrs ago, I never raced at a track.

Those are bad times especially for your first time. Im surprised they let you run if you are under 18.

You'll get better as time goes along and you get more practice.

yeah they never checked my id but it helps being 6'7" i dont usually get carded for much. I know they were horrid i shouldve been like 13.7 ish.

[bballr4567]

I was just about to say that you should be good for around a 13.8-14.0 depending on the DA.

yeah but i was happy, i figured it would be bad my first time, adn like i said i need new tires hardcore, but theres no reason to buy new rubber when its going in storage in about a week.

[bballr4567]

Its about practice.

I ran a 14.2@ 101.XX first time down the 1/4. Next pass was a 13.3@ 107.XX.

yeah for sure youll be the first one to drive it with the TVS. My tires are shitty to begin with and they are even worse bald lol.

[unleashedfury]

Not bad for a first time and on bald tires. Your 60' times are pretty good. So I am guessing your getting a good launch.

The rest will come with experience. And better tires = so much better grip.

[Grims01GT]

me drive too...me drive too...You gotta do up the GA next bro, we can both boost them..

[Chase0224]

Went to the track yesterday. I got down to a 14.1 with a 2.1 60ft at i believe 101mph (at school dont have the slips). I was hoping to break into 13's but maybe next weekend.
