Thread: New Guy, LF 2v

    New Guy, LF 2v

    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.

    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.
