very correct. intake valves are being replaced. It would only be obvious that they would be the case at minimum. I said the motor was fine. No catastrophe leading to a dropped valve or bottom end work as it looks.

Cosworth already sent out the replacement. When they arrive, the car will be fitted with them as well as new intake valves and guides. also will require a new head gasket, but the L19's will be reused..

To Dan l



Only other picture that i have of it. tough to see from the cell phone picture. But, after inspection the journals they are flawless looking, and there are no signs of seizing up around the area of snap.. Cosworth will i am sure let me know a conclusion after they do their assessment..

I'm still deciding what to do with this one Ian. I do know that I will do everything at once and not a piece at a time like last time. I'll be pretty itchy to mess with the car by springtime. We'll see.

Not in S-Sport mode, had ASC on, or had AYC off and didn't know how to drive at all...

Either way, the GSR is the better performer of the two X's. The tranny on the MR might be great as far as innovation and quickness, but the launch is where the times really struggle. It's a bog every time on every video I've seen. Even with the Stig driving. And the 0-60 & 1/4 times show just this.

Either way, a $400 flash for the MR would really help things out. But if you really want to mod and track, the GSR is the better performer.
.3 seconds is a fairly large margin.

Maybe on the strip, but not on this 3:00 average lap time track. Three tenths of a second is nothing on a 4.2 mile road course. Just look at the time differences between all.

I'll break it down.

Mosler MT900S ran 2:45
Viper SRT10 ACR 2:48..6
Ferrari 430 2:54.6
Nissan GTR 2:55.6
Z 51 Vette 3:01.2
Caddy CTS-V 3:04
M3 3:05.6
Benz C63 AMG 3:06.5
The Cobalt SS ran 3:13 lap time.
The Evo X MR ran a 3:13.3 lap time.
The 135i ran a 3:13.7.
Lexus IS F 3:14
Audi S5 3:14.6
S2000 3:15
Challenger SRT8 3:16.3
Lotus Elise SC 3:16.6
G37 sport 3:17.5
New STI 3:19

And some others that don't really matter. All of those cars were supposedly behind the Cobalt. I doubt it. Chevy gave C & D the biggest check this month. Forget the Evo, there's no doubt the GSR would have been quicker. I still don't buy a Cobalt beating an STI, an S5, a 135, an S2000, an Elise SC, etc... Not happening.

multiply that by 5 - 10 laps though.

i think something is fishy too, none of that adds up, but who knows?

What exactly is reckless driving? I know what careless driving is, but reckless usually compliments another violation doesn't it? Can you get a reckless ticket by itself?

I guess this is the definition, but doesn't say anything about points or suspensions. I couldn't find reckless on the points website.

§ 3714. Careless driving.
(a) General rule.--Any person who drives a vehicle in careless disregard for the safety of persons
or property is guilty of careless driving, a summary offense.
(b) Unintentional death.--If the person who violates this section unintentionally causes the death
of another person as a result of the violation, the person shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a
fine of $500.
(c) Serious bodily injury.--If the person who violates this section unintentionally causes the
serious bodily injury of another person as a result of the violation, the person shall, upon conviction,
be sentenced to pay a fine of $250.
(d) Definition.--As used in this section, "serious bodily injury" means any bodily injury which
creates a substantial risk of death or which causes serious, permanent disfigurement or protracted loss
or impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ.
(May 30, 1990, P.L.173, No.42, eff. Nov. 1, 1990; Dec. 8, 2004, P.L.1791, No.237, eff. 150 days)
Cross References. Section 3714 is referred to in sections 1532, 1535, 3326, 3327, 3716 of this
title.

§ 3736. Reckless driving.
(a) General rule.--Any person who drives any vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the
safety of persons or property is guilty of reckless driving.
(b) Penalty.--Any person who violates this section commits a summary offense and shall, upon
conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine of $200.
(May 30, 1990, P.L.173, No.42, eff. Apr. 1, 1992)
1990 Amendment. Act 42 added section 3736.
Cross References. Section 3736 is referred to in sections 1532, 3326, 3327 of this title.
