      Do not drag race an aveo

      They are so slow the track won't read their times cause it assumes the car broke mid track

      The Aveo seemed really slow off the mark. Maybe it had a defective gas pedal? That's a known defect.

      OTOH, maybe the driver was daydreaming at the signal...

      He was, I wasn't driving it. He wasn't bringing the revs up high at all. I got it down to the 19s. still not respectable even by a 1.6 standard. And rabbit, was that a question or statement you made?

      That looked slower then a sick 84 chevette I raced for 2 months @ a wopping 21sec 1/4, in 93 when I was putting in new motor in my 1976 LeMans. The mustangs guys hated it they have say they lost to 21 sec car. lol

      Not for the car. They should have returned ur track fee. I do think u could knock off a second or 2 with a better launch/reaction time. For drags the key is your 60ft time

      I just reread this...didn't a few guys hit low17s, and the one guy from MI with the Triecta tune said he hit a 16.5 or a 15.6??? Any confirmations....

      that isn't really the same as on 04-07 model since the software is different. And I'm well versed in drag racing. My g8 runs low 12 and I'm trying to break into the 11's with it. This wasn't me driving as I said.
