Cuba, New York that is. Another member by the name of Shrek had talked me into joining here, we work for the same company so that’s how I know him. Got to ride in his civic once a month or so ago, wow what a fun ride.

I have a 2007 cobalt SS, the model with the 2.4 engine in it. So far my plans for it are to install the Harrop TVS supercharger. I have a goal of at least 300 HP and that blower is more then capable of it. I’ll get a few pics of my car during the next few days to share. I may grab a picture or two of my Ford Ranger. Its nothing special, just a winter ebater. Unfortunately, its not exactly running right currently so I got some work to do before the snow flies.

Hey man! I just joined as well… nice sounding car. BTW, I was reading some reviews on the new Cobalt SS Turbo and it got awesome reviews. I think you should trade in for one 😉

Thank you!!

I’ve been thinking about trading in for the turbo balt. Rumor is it was .02 seconds behind the evo X 😉

I kinda want to throw a TVS supercharger on my car though.

Where at? We go out on rushford lake on my friends boat quite a bit. I plan on getting my own boat pretty soon.

I always get a laugh when I blow past Cuba on the southern tier Autobahn. If you ever see a blur go past in the left lane down there, it was probably me.

Welcome 🙂

I’m usually the one blowing by Hinsdale in a blur. You’ll be happy with the highway now, they just repaved all of it, mostly. I’ll be sure to wave next time I see you go by.

Thank you 😃

Ok, I know where you are talking about. I’ll keep an eye out for that boat then. We don’t have a house on the lake, just a rented dock where we keep the boat during the warmer months. We usually go tubing or wake boarding, I’m usually the guy that doesn’t fall of the tube of a Red 17’ maxum speed boat 😉

Yeah, I remember when they started repaving it a couple years back, the troopers LOVED to sit behind the piled up jersey barriers in their not so usual 100 mile marker spot :lol:

No sir, I’m in a sport red tint coat. Almost bought a black supercharged balt, but that’s a long story.
