First time at the track ... Cobalt Turbo - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Well I took out my stock cobalt turbo for the first time to the drag strip (Cecil County Dragway in Rising Sun, MD). She had 3400 miles on the clock and I just changed the oil on Thursday myself with Mobil 1 Synthetic.

It was a pretty good run overall.

Here are my times in order:

#1: 14.320 @ 102.93 with a 2.566 60' (first time tracking and launching the car at a strip)
#2: 14.179 @ 102.46 w/ a 2.442 60'
#3: 14.028 @ 103.41 w/ a 2.360 60' (almost high 13's

)
#4: 14.113 @ 102.71 w/ a 2.295 60'
#5: 13.847 @ 104.18 w/ a 2.315 60'
#6: 13.827 @ 104.39 w/ a 2.293 60'

I know this car can do better, but I think I did pretty good all things consider. My times were starting to get consistent in the high 13's so I figured I'd give her a rest for the day and watch the 6 second cars go by! I hot lapped the car and never really turned her off. I had a 1/4 tank of gas. Tire pressure in front at 20psi and 40 in the rear.

I need to work on my 60's and I'll get better. The best stock 1/4 time I've seen is 13.58 @ 103, so I know I can do that, but I need to work on some of my timing.

This was done using a 2400 rpm launch and No lift shifting (yes, this car has it built in) every gear.

On for pics:

Best run of the day - almost identical :

Next up is some power mods - downpipe, intake, charge piping, tune and new tires.

Let me know what ya guys think....
