me: "sure, what you got?"
guy: "that turbo cobalt... everything chevy makes is a POS and this is the only one that's any good"
me: "cool. so tell, me why did you pick me to run?"
guy: "oh, I usually run about the same times as 350Z's"
me: "so what kinda times do you run?"
guy: "you don't want to wait and see???" (cocky grin)

We lined up and and I ran a decent time... 13.6 @ 105?. He ran a 14.7 @ 107 mph.
He probably just needed driver mod.......he has plenty of trap speed to be in low 13's. Probably would have gave you a nice roll race, looks like he just couldn't get good launch.

A couple of months back I was getting sorry 2.5 60fts, getting 14.1 @ 107 mph LOL
