He actually turned on his green neons after the race...

As far as the car goes, it was making a HORRIFYINGLY loud ticking noise at idle, so somehting is not healthy with the motor. Time will tell

If it wasn't for the neons, and the racing stripes, and the monster wing it wouldn't be too bad. I like the 'balts when they have the little spoiler.

If he got rid of the stripes, badges, and the wing.

It would be one hell of a sleeper

The spike is meaningless. It's caused when the wastegate goes closed. It's what a turbo car holds thru the entire RPM range that matters. For instance if his can holds 20+PSI from 2000-6000RPMs he's got a pretty stout car. Only kids brag about what they spike. My car will hold 24PSI til 5800RPMs then it drops off to 20 by 6500RPM.That just means I shift at 6000 to stay in the cars power band. Nice win OP. I think your making more than 310HP.

That makes sense. His car holds 22psi and is definitely very fast.

Above 130 he will DEFINITELY beat me. But traffic and general road conditions limited us to 130

Is that what yall raced to, 130? Yeah you can tell at the end he was starting to slowly inch up. those little suckers are quick from a roll, i raced one from a 60 roll and it was pretty close but i got him by a car when we shut down at 120. Im sure you'll murder him from a dig though, if not you have a 14 second car lol

Good race, those Cobalt's can get real nasty in a hurry, but please tell him to get rid of the neon lights lol

Yeah, it was a 40-128(my limiter in 4th). He was definitely creeping up top, if we went over 130 I would be DONE. My car falls on its face when I shift into 5th at 128

From a dig... He is done

We are trying, he posted a thread in our forum asking how to "sexify" his car

[Mishri]

tell him to get some side window louvers for that fast back look

nice race.. glad you didn't let the ricer beat you.. I guess some people just dont know better.. they grew up watching F&F..(concerning neons/wings, nothing against turbo 4cyl)
