Went once to KCIR in Oct. Fridat night went 9.34 at 148, first round of qualifing Sat. morning, broke a lifter on the line. End of the day for us And fri. night, the track was horrible, 1.33 60 when we normally run 1.27 or 1.28. We feel we could have ran 9.24 Sat.at 149 but will have to wait till next year. Will get some new vids later, and we now have three motors, so we have a back-up. All in SS\DM
@jkonn7 is a late bloomer. The video owner already updated us on that part. Read all the comments before trying to be a cunt and seem cool by acting smarter than others on youtube. You make yourself seem like an underage blowjob how never shuts the fuck up when he should. No one wants your 2 fuckin cent's NO ONE!!! So shut the fuck up and only add to comments rather than ruin a community with your fucktard responses.
@bratboy90 Cool story, bro. I was only referring to your comment where you thought there was any chance in hell a slowbalt would hit a 6.3 quarter mile.
@jkonn7 Your a moron huh? slowbalt, you own a car faster than this? Any car can be modded to be fast. ANY. Shit your retarded Eclipse prob runs 16's+ when it does run. Shits all duct-taped together. Fuckin Ricer. I'd check for a simple Vacuum leak with your misfiring shit.
From listening and watching the car, this is what I was guessing. Sure would enjoy seeing this masterpiece, without the hood on? Maybe, you can also have a camera in car view, this will be welcomed. If I come to your area, I will definitely come by. Appreciate your time and info.
Without giving too much away, what is the cu. in. of this? I would guess that the gear ratio is in the 5 plus range. We used 5:38 in a 55 C/G injected car, that was turning pretty tight at the 1/4. Do you ever run the car outside your general area? I am in the NW, but would enjoy watching your car very much. Good to hear from you.
@1hemiluver We have a few different engines we run ranging from 290s up to about 320. And you would guess correctly about the gear ratio. We normally just run around Iowa and Missouri, but might do a something farther out once in a while. Just depends on what the schedule is like. Hollar if you are ever in the area, and glad you like the car.
How can anyone watch this and not get the chills, from the beautiful sound that only American Muscle can produce ? Is this a small block basis from which you turn this so tight? Back in the mid 60's, we would turn up the 292 and 301 Chevy's near this range to get our cars moving. Then it was weight per cubic inch. Any info will be appreciated. I would enjoy seeing this run, very much. This is a fantastic car, that hooks hard, goes straight and has a stick. A winner in all respects.
@1hemiluver Thanks for the good review. It is just like you thought, a short stroke small block that builds it's power way up high. It is setup for headsup #/ci racing. Ya know, real racing :)
@ROWB0AT I didn't know the 4cyl motor or front wheel drive made a Cobalt a Cobalt, because what keeps it from being a cavalier then...oh yeah, the body. We left that mostly stock. So go ahead Sorensen, use your shell to build a Cobalt with a bad ass motor and RWD.
@alexhc09 Yeah, switching to mechanical wasn't going to save enough weight to even mess with. Not to mention how nice it is hitting a switch instead of a crank when you are in a 5 point harness.
I have a question for anybody out there, I want to put a clutch in my car(3800 lbs trans am that I still drive on the street with a 468 big block chevy) what would be the best tranny to go with?
@MarcsMobileAudio Just a little motor. This is probably what the concept was for the cobalt before the greenies got their hands on it and put the back wheels on front, turned the motor sideways and cut it in half.
But i'm going to say an 305 or maybe an LS4? I think an ls4 would be cool as hell and with it being an ls series engine it would make parts finding pretty damn easy and alot lightere than 305 too, although the same could be said for the 305...
if you don't weann post pm it send me somwhere i can see this beast with the hood up lol
@MarcsMobileAudio Oh i'm just giving you a hard time to cover my ignorance. There have been many motors for this car over the years ranging anywhere from 283 and up to around 320 ci. I would love to see an LS motor between the fenders as well, but it won't be happening. There aren't many classes to put a LS motored car in. But this car's chassis is spec'd to a 5sec pass...so stay tuned.
I'll do some diggin and see if I can find any pics of the car with the hood off.
@p0pe1991 More than likely that is correct then. Both videos were from the same weekend, but only 5101cobalt or Randy would know for sure. They have a few different motors that they run in this car.
kinetiic energy you might wont to look in to that . the man has a sweet race car , give him credit not crapp. build you one. show the world your dreams. bracket racer.
@zeekdavis11 I have some pictures of the camaro they had before this. It was a beautiful car before the wreck...just like every...other....camaro....drag car. Would you believe that the cobalt has a longer wheelbase than a 3rd gen camaro?
@camaromitch Huntsville Dragway, Huntsville Alabama. Its not exactly The Strip at Las Vegas in its own right, but its a ton better than that little pigtrail.
@cmccarthy That's interesting. I just got off the phone with a buddy of mine. He's from Huntsville. When was the last time they ran a 10" class there?
@bowtieighth They had one over the 4th of July Weekend, the Patriot Nationals. There was an ORSCA race scheduled for this coming weekend but they postponed it because its too hot. With this new bullshit noise ordinance they don't have them as often as they used to, which sucks. They still have 3 or 4 a year though with the occasional pro mod show thrown in.
@DrewCFYA Well, I'll agree it's a lot more fun to watch two cars in the same class, but as long the indexes are setup fairly atleast you get to watch more races, and people can build what they want to drive and what they can afford. We'll never claim to be "faster" than the dragster we raced in the other video I posted, but until you setup a strip where only one class of car is permitted, this is the most legitimate style of drag racing out there.
@camaromitch That's why i like stock & super stock racing, comp is ridiculous but fun to watch. I mean, what's the point of even trying to run comp? It's the guy w/ the most money.
@DrewCFYA Comp is not the guy with the most money, it is the guy with the most brains 9 times out of 10.. Come down to D4 and watch the baddest Comp cars on the planet.
@RatzSSSC Thanks. It wasn't cheap but it was worth having a car that we knew was built right.. You know whats real funny, we had a 3rd generation camaro before this and the cobalts wheelbase is a few inches longer than it was. I can't remember exactly how much but we were shocked.
@camaromitch Thats awesome man I showed Few friends the Video they Couldn't Believe it! and I'll loo into that wheel base thing. lol any ways Solid Ride, keep'em comin'
Do you think it could take corners even with all that extra weight in the front? I know dumb question as it is set up for drag, but still just want to know.
I figured that scoop was housing a larger supercharger or even a different engine. It is obvious you reduced weight through out the car, but I figured the front would be heavy compared to the rest of the car.
@tornadostorm18 They have a couple engines (SBC's) to choose from in the 290 cid range. Any of them would be naturally aspirated with a single 4 barrel on racing gas.
i dont give a damn what anything has to do with the flywheel or flexplate all i know is thats fucking kick ass and i want 2 one for me and one for mywife lol! thats got to be some inovative shit illl tell ya i love it !!!
blue2208 you dont have a clue......This is a stick shift car with a "heavy flywheel" that is why it takes so long for the rpm's to come down after the burn out and once it crosses the stripe. It is also why it takes so long to get up to rpm on the starting line before it launches.
Sorry Blue2208 but everybody else is right it is a heavy flywheel that I had special built for this motor because of it being a low hp for us it was only 585 hp on the dyno out of a 289. But thanks for looking
Well, you did get the sarcasam part right. 1. The engine CREATES momentum, the flywheel SUSTAINS momentum. Potential and Kinetic energy was covered in 7th grade science . As for the clutch it can have 1 or 20 disc's they have nothing to do with the flywheel. And now for the biggie I sounds like a 400 Turbo if someone has developed a 4 speed clutch 400Turbo. Or maybe you mis-counted the # of shifts. Maybe thats why the transmission in your car seems to be missing third gear. Sarcasam? Luv it
THERES NO FLYWHEEL!its called a fucking flexplate dumbshit.its not a manual transmission.nd why would you put a heavy flywheel on a race car?that would take away a good amount of hp. That would be more weight for the engine to manage.And flywheels being heavy and keeping the engine windup?engines dont work like that idiot.your thinking about the engine like a ball spinning or something.your forgetting the huge amount of compression takin place within the cylinder walls.that slows down the engine
@Blue2208 There is no flexplate it is a "heavy" flywheel. Why don't you quit calling people idiot when they obviously know more about rece motors than you do?
I'm in love

Do you think it could take corners even with all that extra weight in the front? I know dumb question as it is set up for drag, but still just want to know.

@tornadostorm18 Where do you see the extra weight? BTW, it corners great.
bowtieighth 2 years ago
I figured that scoop was housing a larger supercharger or even a different engine. It is obvious you reduced weight through out the car, but I figured the front would be heavy compared to the rest of the car.

@tornadostorm18 They have a couple engines (SBC's) to choose from in the 290 cid range. Any of them would be naturally aspirated with a single 4 barrel on racing gas.
bowtieighth 2 years ago
and at ~10lbs per cid you can figure how much it weighs. How much did you think it would weigh? You saw the front end lift right?
camaromitch 2 years ago
That fast I'm sure it would lift a big rig.

@tornadostorm18
NO.
No corners for this car. Purpose built drag car. Hence the huge tires out back and razor fronts.

@Dummerd yeah I figured, but it still would be cool to see some one attempt it.
tornadostorm18 2 years ago
It would be a great workout since it doesn't have powersteering lol
camaromitch 2 years ago
@camaromitch Yeah plus with that workout it would suck not having a/c.
tornadostorm18 2 years ago
Yeah, No a/c and a fire suit is why we keep trying for a faster track time lol....quicker back to the pits

@camaromitch what is the normal outside temp?
tornadostorm18 2 years ago
Outside of the car??? This is northwest missouri, buddy. Anywhere for -15 to 110.
camaromitch 2 years ago
@camaromitch Your still run when it is 110 degrees? That is just insane. Who buys all the gaterade?

i dont give a damn what anything has to do with the flywheel or flexplate all i know is thats fucking kick ass and i want 2 one for me and one for mywife lol! thats got to be some inovative shit illl tell ya i love it !!!

blue2208 you dont have a clue......This is a stick shift car with a "heavy flywheel" that is why it takes so long for the rpm's to come down after the burn out and once it crosses the stripe. It is also why it takes so long to get up to rpm on the starting line before it launches.
kbro3790 2 years ago
11000 rpms. it doesnt take a long time to wind down... its cause of the high rpms.. duh
Blue2208 2 years ago
Sorry Blue2208 but everybody else is right it is a heavy flywheel that I had special built for this motor because of it being a low hp for us it was only 585 hp on the dyno out of a 289. But thanks for looking

Must be one HEAVY flywheel in there! Listen to how long it take to unwind whenever he lets off the throttle.
jjkrace 2 years ago
that means its light if it takes the motor longer to unwind.
Blue2208 2 years ago
Blue2208, I have viewed your videos and I see now you are an expert.
jjkrace 2 years ago
wow I love your sarcasm.. first off... a flywheel doesnt create momentum for a motor...
second a car with that much power probably has a triple disc clutch if it is in fact a stick.. which it isnt it sounds like a turbo400 trans.
Blue2208 2 years ago
Well, you did get the sarcasam part right. 1. The engine CREATES momentum, the flywheel SUSTAINS momentum. Potential and Kinetic energy was covered in 7th grade science . As for the clutch it can have 1 or 20 disc's they have nothing to do with the flywheel. And now for the biggie I sounds like a 400 Turbo if someone has developed a 4 speed clutch 400Turbo. Or maybe you mis-counted the # of shifts. Maybe thats why the transmission in your car seems to be missing third gear. Sarcasam? Luv it

THERES NO FLYWHEEL!its called a fucking flexplate dumbshit.its not a manual transmission.nd why would you put a heavy flywheel on a race car?that would take away a good amount of hp. That would be more weight for the engine to manage.And flywheels being heavy and keeping the engine windup?engines dont work like that idiot.your thinking about the engine like a ball spinning or something.your forgetting the huge amount of compression takin place within the cylinder walls.that slows down the engine
Blue2208 2 years ago
@Blue2208 Since you'll never figure it out on your own, this isn't an automatic car. Real men shift gears.
bowtieighth 2 years ago
its not a true clutch drivin manual if thats the case
Blue2208 2 years ago
@Blue2208 In that video it is a true clutch driven manual tranny. You do know that a glide is an automatic?
bowtieighth 2 years ago
its got to be a power glide... thats the only thing it could be then
Blue2208 2 years ago
@Blue2208 There is no flexplate it is a "heavy" flywheel. Why don't you quit calling people idiot when they obviously know more about rece motors than you do?
bowtieighth 2 years ago
@Blue2208 I believe you've had one too many brain freezes.

@Blue2208 I thought you had to get into the turbo 500's to get a 4 speed? LOL!
bowtieighth 2 years ago
yeah,the 400's are 3spd right?
Blue2208 2 years ago
It's a 5 speed clutch assisted manual. Watch it again and listen closely.
