So last night at the red light i see a new cobalt and i believe a civic at the light...and of course they are reving the engines going to race...So I sit quietly behind them and then go as soon as they do...they start to pull ahead at first but then around 70 i start gaing on them...and what do you know as soon as i hit 100, they start waiving....i was so pissed....

So i am starting my list...little short on cash but i figure i would start with Exhaust, TBS, and a tune.....any other suggestions...

 

Why are you trying to keep up with little cars? I don't think you'll ever catch them with a truck.

 

You can catch them and even pass them up, with a lot of gains. But the way I look at it is if I can take them off the line I will just drive over their hood and crush the radiator (if there was money on the race). Then try and see if they will everrace a truck again!

 

I took a Cobalt with my truck when it was bone stock excluding the K&N drop in air filter. Those things are nothing for our trucks. The only problem you have is that top speed governor. Get a custom tune and set the top speed to whatever you want it to be. Just make sure you have tires that are capable withstanding those speeds.

 

Meh I say if you can beat em in a quarter then whats the point of beating them past 120 or so anyways.

 

One set of stoplights and it's over....who needs 100+???? Wax their *** out of the hole and wave goodbye at 80...LOL!

 

welcome to the dark side

 

LOL, that's the way I see it too. I have no intention of topping out my truck. I still owe like $15,000 on it so I definitely don't wanna wreck it. But if you wanna do that, more power to you. Personally I don't want to go any faster than I can go on a drag strip. So 100mph is plenty fast enough for me.

 

100 is plenty for me... my tires get floaty at right around 90...

 

100 is nothing. Ive been 160 and thats still not fast enough...but im an adrenaline junkie
