Is that the Cosworth engine? That sounds like an interesting Escort.

Nice, did you get the 4cyl or V6 Mazda 6? I love my ZOOM~ZOOM...but...I have had a lot of problems (Keep in mind I drive a lot, and occasionally race, but never abuse, and always maintain my car): ~Overheating/ Coolant Hose Problem ~Transmission Shift Fork Sleve ~New Slave Master Cylinder-...

What is a BPT Escort?

You should come to Cecil County Dragway with us. Have you been there? It's a good time, close enough for me to come down from PA. Are you at University of Delaware? If so It should be very close to you. In the summer there are some crazy cars there. This past Wed. there was a new CTS-V white...

Yes it is good call.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYtAnA4bzaU My friend just uploaded this video taken with his iphone. I had no idea he video taped it! I had no idea it was a TURBO I was messing with until I saw his 13.56 stock world record on You Tube last night! This car totally slept on me. We were going to...

Video of stock cobalt running 13.5 at my home track is below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHxW6WAr848

My girlfriend has never had one problem with her cobalt in 3 years of ownership, and my transmission in my MS3 has been operated on 3 times. Quality is usually just percieved. I didn't want to start a MS3 is better than Cobalt thread, but oh well I guess that is what this has become. For the...

I like the Cobalts. If my girlfriend didn't have a coupe LT Sport, I would have considered purchasing an SS/TC. Didn't want to be a two Cobalt family lol. But really, the new SS/TC is a real sports car that should be taken seriously. If that other You Tube video I reffered to earlier didn't...

225 vs 215 tires, different gearing, and 200 pounds less? Hmmm I don't know about all that. I guess it's possible. Our cars have more torque from the 2.3 DISI, and can be flat-foot shifted as well thow. I just don't really see how the balt can run more boost than us, and respond so crazily to...

It seems that some SS/TCs are running as low as 13.5 in the quarter mile...STOCK. Mid to high 12s with basic bolt-ons. I have not driven or raced an SS/TC, but these cars look fassstt on youtube. My question is- why are they so much faster than Speed3s? Does 200 lbs make that big of a...

Gold Class, Griot's Best of Show, and Ice are my favortie true waxes. Ice you can apply in sun but not a hot surface. Have not tried NXT or Zymol yet thow. What is liquid glass?

DSC on allows for consistent, and quick launches on street tires. Just slip/feather the clutch a little.

My car would hit fuel cut and buck badly at higher speeds durring WOT, when I had just the SRI.

If I had the money I would probably buy a front mount, then coilovers before downpipe.

Get it, you won't regret it!

I like tint because it keeps the interior cool, and keeps people from seeing what I'm doing lol. I also believe it makes most cars better looking, especially Mazdaspeed3s. I didn't tint my light blue XJR because I wanted people to see my cream leather though.

I wanted to add to this thread- I was able to go back to the track tonight. This time I brought my helmet, and changed the launch control to 3500 RPM. Unfortunatley, was still fighting heak soak all night. My new best time is 13.742 @ 104.45. This was my best of 4 runs ( two 13.8s and 1 13.9)...

Very nice, did you do it yourself? I wish my wheels were black.
