I got overconfident thought i was gonna stop having a slow R/T and I guessed 15.4.... I think i can get my grandam gt to run a 15.2 if I get a better R/T

I don't know a thing about the track but I thought I remember reading that your R/T doesn't have anything to do with the actual 1/4 time. Also, this section is for pictures of your car.

Am I missing something or does it not make sense that you beat those cars with a 15.7 and 15.5... Both the Cobalt SS and the GPX run in 14's

I'd like to see that video

cobalt ss runs a 14.4 and would be even faster if he had an intake like you said. most GAs wouldnt have a chance..... not even in a 0-60 race.

If he is bracket racing then the cobalt could have ran a 10s for all we know. But his guess was too far away..

What mods are you running again?

I'm gonna have to agree with what Byron said. Reaction time has nothing to do with the time it takes to do your run. I once saw a supra sitting on the line spooling up his turbo for something like several seconds before he took off and did some semi-decent number.

Pretty sure he meant Grand Prix GXP. I think he mispelled. Still though a Grand Prix GXP running the 5.3 would still beat a GA. I know I've driven one. Also depends if it was the supercharged Cobalt SS. Some Cobalt SS's are non-supercharged and are automatics. They can be supercharged with a 5-speed.

Due to the rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil. Plus the condition of the Economy. The Light At the End of the Tunnel has been turned off.

There was an option on the Aero spoiler on those cars too. I know in canada maybe the US is different.
