[QUOTE="USMCFieldMP, post: 6598706, member: 72062"] I don't even know what car you are talking about when you say "the L". I can only assume Lincoln, haha. But I'm pretty sure that is wrong. But I was agreeing with the "They Roll out on the HWY" part. That is what the Cobalt does best... ROLL RACE. The first gear in the car is ridiculously short and therefore is a crippling factor when it comes to Drag Racing. 1st gear ends right around 35mph (but the short gear combined with the instant tq from the S/C usually means that your wheels are gonna be spinning or playing hopscotch)... and 2nd gear power range really begins at 40mph. It's the dumbest thing ever. All the gears in the car are pretty long... except for first. I rev to 7k and shift at these mph: 1st- 38 2nd - 75 3rd - 115 4th - 150 But as far as roll racing one... 45mph (2nd gear) and 80mph (3rd) are FREAKIN ACE for roll racing in my SS. Doesn't Montana have an Interstate with no Speed Limit? I thought I remembered reading about that some where. If you wanna meet me there, it can be arranged. But bring some friends... to make it worth my trip! :rockon: I'll check around my Cobalt Forums and see if I know anyone that lives near you that would be willing to rumble. I'll find some with light mods, if any... I won't be cruel. ---------------- Just for the hey of it... here's a video of me and a Procharged GT. I got waxed pretty good... haha.
