Hell... I was in so much disbelief I took snap shots of it and the truck as I passed it... On top of being in disbelief - I LOVED THE TRUCK.

But - cmon me beating up on trucks in my lil cobalt... we know me... if I can do it in my cobalt... imagine what I will be doing when I have my Ram...

lol, hell TX drivers are crazy in their own state! The little cobalt I drove was a 5 speed, so I am sure that had something to do with it. I was amazed that I actually fit in the damn things though

Yeah my dad is 6'3" and the b/f is about the same height... I was amazed that they fit in my car. It was funny seeing my dad pull up in my car when I let him use it when I was out of town the one time, I got home early before he got home with my car that day... I was laughing...

but the Cobalts have a lot of interior room in them... this is quickly becoming OT... so back on topic...

I'm sure that tracker's would blow me outta the water though to be honest, the best Ive ever done in a true stock vs MOD truck (before the dually)... I can pace... the only Rams, Stock have I ever beaten... If I keep her - I'm gonna change that

Cobalt SS turbo is a cool idea, and apparently can rip. Otherwise, they're glorified Cavaliers.

You guys just wait though, I dumped my lifetime PT warranty So I could go ahead with what I want to do. I started a savings account for the sole purpose of the mods I want, And told all my relatives to just deposit any money they might spend on gifts for me in that account. I got my self a metro to preserve the gas on the longer trips so I could put forth money to my modding.

my 5 year plan is to Install a beefed up tranny in the truck to help reduce the PT loss, Then Install a agressive Cam, New performance fuel pump, Injectors, Beefed up Lifters and springs, and a supercharger. After that, Just because it won't be fast enough off the line, I am going to have 4.56 gears installed. Before I start this, I will have all the small mods out of the way, E-cutouts, E-fan, true Dual exhaust, Headers (Probaly mid variety as I do want to keep it streetable), 180 t-stat, ported t-body.

Then I should be a challenge for alot more, Until then Ill have to ramain beating up on jerks w/ friends in small cars with annoyingly loud bass. lol.

very cool. You would remember my truck if you saw it. I think it is the only truck in the area that is a 2nd gen with an SLT bumper, and a Sport grille

Yeah but the SS engines have had more issues, the LT engines are a bit bigger HP wise but only by a few. My lil car may be a glorified Cavalier, but that dang lil thing took on a semi - and lived. You go try that

But I stand corrected - the Sport isn't the LT engine, its the SS, but it felt less powerful than my 06 when I took that one out...

Not all stangs are slow, just the stock one's....lmao All except the 03/04 Cobra's.

But The Fox body early 90's and 80's are ugly ****'s. They are just glorified Ford Escorts, some with v8's. Some with a Turbo escort 4banger.
I'll be honest dog I don't even count the cobra's, saleens, really any of the third party modified set ups as mustangs.. They are the **** and I would rock one without a doubt.
