All of my friends have Mustangs and LSX car's, hence why I am here.
Don't own a Mustang, not yet anyway. Currently drive a 2005 Chevy Cobalt SS/SC. It is my girlfriends car that we share. She uses it as a daily driver, and I modify and race it on weekends.
I've seen a few of the cars on here driving around, so I figure I would post up an Intro Thread. Some of you have probably seen me since the car stands out like a sore thumb.
I live in the Coraopolis area, so I am always in the Moon and Robinson area as well.
Car has:
TVS 1320 Swap
E85 Conversion w/ Return Fuel System & 80# Injectors
Tuned by Al (Witt) & myself using HPT
Misc stuff like Catless downpipe, GMPP/Borla 2.25" Catback, 3" Intake
Solid Mounts, LCA Bushing, Air Lift Drag Bags
26x9.5x16 Hoosier QTP's for the Strip
Last year the car went 12.6@116 w/ bad 60's and different tune. Hoping for low 12's or 11.99 with 118-119 traps this year. On Mike @ Wolfpack's Dyno, the car put down 347whp/297wtq IIRC.
I am looking to be getting a 99-04 2v GT sometime this summer, getting tired of FWD, 4 bangers, and sport compacts all together.

Sorry for the crappy pictures, these are all I have of the car.
Its a fun car. 24+psi boost and 28 degrees of timing is insane. Gotta love e85.
Too funny finding people on the highway thinking they got an easy kill coming to them.

strong mph for that much hp...guess they're a little lighter than I thought. 3200ish w/ driver?

I don't exactly eat salads (well, I do but it don't help), so about 3250ish :)
The blower, and the timing map I can run with E85 has an amazing TQ curve that really makes it faster than it should be.
It farts out a mile long cloud of corn fuel behind it. Most unforgettable smell to come from a car.

She is into cars and racing as well. She is into AutoX and Road Course. But now that I made the Cobalt a straight line queen, not so much anymore.

Welcome aboard! I'm in Moon, but haven't seen your car - probably because work, kids, and the weather tend to keep my car in the garage all too often...

You sure, I thought you posted in the other thread that you saw a little blue Cobalt following my buddies Red 5.0 GT/CS and Black LS2 GTO onto the parkway :)

Welcome. I think your girlfriend has posted in a couple road course/autocross threads I started on CobaltSS.net. Don't post in too many other parts of that disaster.

Yeah, we stay away from that forum unless it's to buy some parts or talk to locals.
I think she is going to Beaver Run this Sunday on the North track.

Tell her to skip the pricey (nothing against BR, but it seems like she has a few track days, no need to pay for instruction anymore) FOD and hit Nelson's Ledges for $100 on June 12. I will probably be there, and would instruct for a session if I actually go. Track is quite a bit scarier and faster than BR is.

I think the only reason she is doing Beaver Run is because A) She is in group A now which means she can go out without an instructor, and B) I got her a gift certificate for a free day on the track.
Only going since she doesn't need to pay. Other than that, she would probably do Nelson's.
By chance, do you know if there are any E85 pumps near Nelson's? I will need to switch the car back to 93 for Beaver Run which is a pain in the ass.

I doubt it. I know that Monogorat (I know I misspelled it) dude with the yellow T/C had his car up there on May 12, and he is on E85, but I bet he brought his own fuel. Place is in the middle of nowhere.
