I know I'm late to this party and I don't post as much as I used to but them bolt on and tuned Cobalt SS' are pretty quick, LOL. I bought mine brand new in 2008 and had it up until April of 2014. Even though it had just basic bolt ons and a tune it put in alot of work against alot of people. I'm still upset that I sold it but my Boss 302 is pretty fun, LOL. And I just picked up an 03 Mach 1 last week so I'm happy. And I agree with a few of you, this section isn't the same as it was back in 2006-2008 time frame.

I came here with a stage 2 SRT-4 Neon, to a 2008 Mustang GT, eventually full bolt on and supercharged to three Dodge Charger's and now a '99 Z28!
I used to street race a ton back from 99/09 but now I barely even want to leave the house in the wee hours of the night. I go on cruises but it's mostly Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings, ALONE lol
Plus, the more cars I've owned, the more and more conservative I become and the more I just want something to look and sound good.. 350whp is my limit nowadays, which isn't very much compared to what I've had (500whp).
If it starts, runs and doesn't leave me stranded.. I am happy!

I will say I've grown up alot. I'm 30 years old now and have a great job so I try to stay out of trouble, LOL. With the Wife and I not having kids or wanting kids and both have good jobs it's pretty easy for us to own what we want for the most part. She drives the Boss to work most days but sometimes I can talk her into taking the Taurus instead. But since I bought the Mach last week it's going to be my project car until the Boss runs out of it's warranty. I remember all them cars and stories you had back in the day, haha.
I thought about letting my girl drive the Z28 as well but she also has a lead foot lol
30? Bah, you're still young.. I am 35 and when I was 30 I was still zipping around like a dodo but I have admittingly become more into cruising to some beats and chillin' as I have gotten older. I also have let a lot of races go simply because I didn't feel like racing.
lol all those cars.. sure was a good time...

They are not kids but at 56 I'm no spring chicken, I ran many a dig race on Tn. backroads and lost my share. Had a 67 candy red Camaro "Powerglide" w/ 750 Carter 4bbl. Now I burn through the Twisty's near San Antonio Bay semi-retired health care provider. More humanoids in the world has us looking for a deserted road and finding few. I still get challenged and take on most with a grin!

I'm 37, but don't feel so bad now seeing as some of you are old enough to be my pops, lol I was talking to a friend yesterday (was buying his Z28 actually) and he was telling me how he was going to settle down and buy an Equinox. Said he's hoping the "speed thing" will fade. I told him I doubted it would. I've been blowing money on cars/mods for probably 15 years now, and as I get older nothing has changed other than wanting more power than the last project! Age doesn't cure the modding bug.
