^Haha. I'm afraid I'll look like the only redneck @ the track who can't launch. I hear so many horror stories about our failing launch control and wheel hop and I for dang sure don't want to do that in front of a crowd of drunken rednecks, lol.

the s/cs have launch control? or are you talking about traction control?(p.s. don't use it on the track, ungodly bogging)

I never knew that if they do have LC, I didn't even use mine on the track... I wish I would have and when I go back I will.... I HATED mine when I 1st got the car, but its actually pretty effective on the street and people get the "what the ****?" look as your car bounces off 4800rpm as you get ready for a pull, lol

Um... my car doesn't have like a button for launching/traction... I just meant I've never ran a 5 spd @ the track, only automatics. I don't want to look like a fool if I screw up. Not to mention, I don't have the G85 package, so I'll probably be pulling to the side, too.

no you'd be alright, LSD will do nothing on the drag strip.... auto-xing, you'd miss it...

in fact the two fastest stock LNF cobalts(13.54 and 13.66)........did not have a LSD... but it DEFINITELY takes some getting used to with a manual on the drag strip, ESPECIALLY a front wheel drive one... the 1st car I ran on a drag strip was a 6-speed RWD Z28... the 1st FWD car was an automatic GTP grand prix... this Cobalt is my 1st fwd manual... its why I didn't go when the car was stock... I wanted to wait until I was very comfortable launching it, by then, I had mods on it, so I do not know what it would have ran stock...

but who cares... SS stands for Stock Sucks, right? lol

YAY! This thread is alive again! LoL

Yeah, the only cars I've taken to the track (Holiday in Woodstock) has been 5spd 3rd gen Camaro & 3rd gen automatic Z28 (durh, both RWD). I'd be happy if the SS could run 10 in an 1/8th LMFAO!

ROLL MOTHA FUCKIN TIDE!!!! We won Saturday by the good grace of God, lol!

Man, I was listenin' to the last 3 minutes on Rock 99.5 in the Galleria parking lot Saturday and I was holding my breath when they kicked for the field goal. Then Eli Gold and his magical voice was like, "Oh no! Cody blocked it! Listen to the crowd! They're chanting, 'Cody! Cody! Cody!'! And the Tide wins again! They remain undefeated!"

Music to my ears :D
