> [@turbominime4door](#): > > ok because i have raced a black coblat down near hinsdale If it was the supercharged Cobalt, with a high-rise spoiler that would be one of the managers at Team Chevrolet. I raced him once, but the SS/NA Cobalt stock canā€™t keep up with a SS/SC at all after 2nd gear. I almost bought that car, but the trade in on my current car would have killed me. > [@psphinx81](#): > > welcome šŸ‘‹ šŸ‘‹ Nice evo ---

I donā€™t think he worked there for any more than a year, so he wasnā€™t there long, but I think he was there in like '05 so maybe he pulled you over before, haha. I did a couple ride alongs with him and pulled a few people over. ---

Its possible, but I donā€™t think he was one to give me a ticket. The guys that ticketed me still work there. ---

It seems to be a easy swap to do as wellā€¦pretty much a complete bolt-on I planned on going with the TVS supercharger as well, with teh stage 2 kit šŸ˜‰ Its gonna be wicked when I finally get to that point and have it all finished. It wonā€™t be worth the money in the end, but it sure as hell will suprise everyone. I do wish I had the SC model Cobalt, or the TC. They are getting a pretty good name now, even though its being discontinued next year. > [@BigRon](#): > > I went to Bonaventure and stopped at Cuba cheese on my way to Mt irenaeus once or twice. > Nice area, I miss Spraggā€™s (sp?) maple syrup. Cool, I have a couple friends at SBU. I checked out Iranaeus once cause I heard about it. Kinda wierd they have something that far from the college. Seems like a prime party location. ---

I lost control and rolled it about 4 or 5 times, travelling ~150ft before I came to a stop, landing on the passenger side. Sooooā€¦ my second vehicle is a '98 Ford Ranger. for now, this will be my project vehicle. First on the list is a new transmission. ---
