Well, I think the last time I checked in here was March. So that's when I started my new job and live in Elyria, OH now. Not far from the crap city of Cleveland. I work tons of hours now and travel alot, as I type I'm in Columbus, Indiana for the week. Still got my rides, Camaro SS and the Regal T-Type which has a new best at the track of 12.40@108. The last day of May I picked up a 08 Cobalt SS Turbo. So with my pickup thats 4 cars. The Cobalt is quick, but it is FWD. Trapped 101mph in the 1/4, but traction there sucked and I had my street tires at full inflation. So that turned out to be a 14.70 with a 2.37 60', yuck. The 101mph shows that with a good launch/traction would net a 13. Oh yeah, it's still bone stock save for a K&N Flat panel.
So that's what I've been doing for the last 8 months.

Rich, seems like things are going alright for you.
Now get some traction with that Cobalt will ya. Oops, my 60's were nearly that bad. Guess I should take my own advice.

13's in the econobox? I feel horrible, I barely just hit the 13's in the srt...but let's just admit it, I suck at launching that pig.

13's with traction, gotta practice but don't have the time. 30mpg on the highway is good though. Waiting for the GM Stage kit which will add appx 55hp and who knows how much tq. I still may go my own way though, maybe even take a quick vacation to VA and have Ed tune it. It's not my daily driver either, I got a company Astro van with Company CC to fill the tank.
Pics was from when the car was new, sorry for the smudge. Haven't taken any more since.
