I Regret to Inform You


Recommended Posts

I had a friend come up from Pittsburgh for the car show and showed him around the area... This includes some of the fabulous roads. Thus, the Cobalt got a workout.

I'll keep my opinions to myself, but I will say the tires are the noisiest things ever. There's no doubt that everyone within a few miles heard us doing that run on BR-PV road.

I know the Conties that come with base Cobalts are garbage. My car has the 16" wheels with the Michelins, and I can fling it around 90* turns at 45mph with nary a peep from the tires. When GEICO rented me a base Cobalt while mine was in the body shop, I spun it around trying to do the same maneuver. The road noise couldn't be drowned out by the radio, and traction was nonexistant in the rain.

Spend the dough on better tires. You won't regret it.

Crap tires will ruin the experience of driving any car.

Yes. That being said: beating the crap out

of a car, be it a track-ready SCCA Porsche

911 turbo or your mom's Plymouth Voyager

means tire squeel.

I've attempted 1-g cornering in cars that

had no business trying, the result was

usually a lot of noise, much of it coming

form the tires!

Well I hope you have enough tread left to get your ass down to Carlisle this Saturday.:P

Send me a message on facebook, when you get a chance.

Don't knock the car, knock the tires. Even on the stock Conties I've had the Cobalt tossed around with little drama.

Was I knocking the car? No.

It could be a SS/TC and he would still complain :lol:

At the performance? No.

...This is aggravating. Consider this my leave of absence from C&G.

I'll be attending Carlisle this Saturday. If you would like to contact me, you can do so via AIM or Hotmail. My screen name is my usual 'blackviper8891'.
