Default GM build's a turbo drag car

GM's answer to the imports



http://www.speedtv.com/articles/life...omotive/38350/

Quote:
The main highlights of our Chevy Cobalt would have to be the performance of the car. To date the car has been a 7.3et @ 198 MPH, during the NHRA event at Englishtown, NJ. The car is powered by a 4 cylinder ECOtec engine that creates 1400 hp @ 60 psi. The team has decided to run a GT 45 from Precision Turbo. In the near future, the Pro car has the potential of running 7.0 @ over 200 MPH.

You think it helps traction to have that much weight around the drive tires? LOL

Cool car but someone better remove that huge grapefruit from the turbo that was accidentally thrown in there before they try and race that thing LOL.
Those racing Ecotec motors are no joke, even the street ones are quite stout.
