m-rod's 99 GTZ

The bar isn't worth it enough for me to switch arms. It'll find the scrap pile while I eventually find a 8G or 3G bar.

I finally got around to throwing a few clips together of roll races and other straightaway encounters from Powercruise. I'll sort through the rest of it and make other videos later, but in the meantime...

The Cobalt and the TC had hurt feelings for sure!! haha nice video

[M-Rod]

Haha. The Cobalt and tc owners are guys I hang with each week at the local car meet. It was kind of funny after we pulled off the track, we parked by our tents and the first words I hear are "Damn... all this time and I never realized your Galant was that fast."

Is that cobalt the supercharged ss or the turbo?
Looks super fun though man!

[ALCALA]

It sounds like the sc ss. My friend had one. They are very fun to drive.

That was dope Matt! Pull after pull, she just keeps on trucking. I know the GTO and those other faster cars were like "the fuck? How is he getting it like that?"

[Black8GV6]

Dang, I want a 3.8 swap now. Time to do some reading now.

[M-Rod]

Thanks for the good words guys! It was probably one of the most exciting weekends I've ever experienced. After my disappointment at the drag strip, it starts to put things into perspective when I'm holding my own and pulling on cars that run low 13's. Launching FWD will forever be my nemesis, but at this point I'll be happy knowing it's solid from a roll and on the road course. Hopefully soon I'll throw together some video of a few laps around the track. Although most of it's cruising around the track, I did find some time where a pack of us would maintain some good speed through some of the corners. Couldn't go too hard though because I wasn't in the mood to get kicked off the track.

The turbo one's are so much better in every aspect though. Way more power and better suspension lol
But they're still cool cars :D

That being said I would love to see some full laps of that 8g passing cars left and right on a track lol

[M-Rod]

^You're not kidding about the Cobalt SS/TC being superior in comparison to the SS/SC! I know most of the Cobalt/Ion/G5 group from my local area, and I watch them all try new things and every time it seems the turbo SS's own the supercharged SS's. The only thing that puts the supercharged SS's on the turbo level is replacing the M62 blower with the TVS and a smaller pulley. Then things start to get interesting.

[DEADEYES]

^ Word. I would still rock all of those cars though, but if I'm honest I HATE the dash of Ion redline. Super ugly to say the least.

[greddy]

Yeah fwd launching sucks I tried drag racing this weekend

[Isaurio]

Did u guys adjust timing to launch the car?

From 800-5k at the 10 load cell u need to decrease timing by 5-8. One, when u try to 2 step at that load engine knocks and pcm will decrease timing. Making it a suck as already suck fwd launch.

If you dont have flash on knock u wont know what im talking about.

[8thLS6]

Love the cars power and interior..always liked the vids from inside your car cause you get to see both lol. But what crossed your mind when the truck broke loose @ 2:58 iirc lol. I know with my measly 6g72 I would've been like "clearly this is not going to end in my favor". And definitely with the vette lol Nice runs
