So is my E/T about right with the MPH??
I don't know how to calculate all that.

I weighed my car that night, and weighed in at 3440 with my 190lbs fat a$$ in it.

And yes, those Cobalts are a lot quicker than I expected. I can't keep up with them on the interstate though.

based on the 93.16 your estimated et should be 14.63

so it goes back to your 60' time.....

but the good news is the car is picking up speed on the big end.....

have you thought about lightening up your car? You can knock off some easy weight by taking out the front swaybar and emptying all of your trash out of the car. Also try running on a 1/4 tank of gas or less.

effin 4 bangers need to leave the ponies alone!

All I've done is taken out my back seat.
I like to drive it at the track like it would on the street. I would like to loose some unnecessary weight though, such as the smog pump and my A/C that hasn't worked since I've got the car.
