I had a Chevy Cobalt SS (sport sedan w/o supercharger) Had the car sitting in my driveway, car ran great. After talking with Billy, Yac and some others and seeing what Billy was going thru with his computer I decided to shelf the idea and sold the car. It was going to take much more that what I anticipated to get the car to be competitive running in class. The best advice is listen to what these guys are recommending they have been through this many times. I admire Billy and the cars he runs, love his Nova since I am a Nova fan. I appreciate the advise very much that these guys gave me.

Sometimes you can find some great deals with cars that are already built, and sorted out. I am semi retired, yet still keep my eyes open for deals that are out there and already sorted out.
