Haas Racing ’34 Roadster
Although not a true factory team, GM nevertheless continues to support Haas Racing’s Bonneville efforts with Ecotec motors and technical help. The switch from a supercharged GM V6 to an 800 horsepower turbocharged and intercooled 2.0-liter Ecotec enabled driver Todd Haas to set a new G/Blown Fuel Roadster record at 193 mph in August 2004. For the October event it was decided to really show the versatility and flexibility of the Ecotec by driving the Roadster to Bonneville and racing it. Todd, David and his brother Tom all took turns driving the car the 700-plus miles from Pomona to Wendover without incident. Well, except for when a cop pulled David over and asked him what he thought he was doing. Without further delay, the team rolled onto the salt, made a few changes from street to race trim and Todd bumped his own record to a very respectable 210.881 mph. Haas Racing will return to Bonneville this August with a slightly redesign car that will run in the Blown Fuel Modified Roadster class where they hope to set new records




Chevrolet Cobalt SS
Hot on the tail of the Saturn Ion Red Line Coupe, the Chevrolet Cobalt SS is a similar Ecotec-powered front-wheel drive sport compact that is a performance leader in its segment. Likewise powered by a turbocharged, intercooled Ecotec producing in excess of 800 horsepower, the Cobalt SS was a rocket ship off the trailer. Driven in August 2004 by three-time NHRA Sport Compact Champion Nelson Hoyos, the Cobalt blistered across the salt at a staggering 243.127 mph—31 mph faster than the Saturn record. Unfortunately, because the car was so new and not yet available to the public its speed could not be counted as a record. More testing was conducted in October 2004 with GM engineer Jim Minneker behind the wheel and the Cobalt SS is set to return to Bonneville this August with GM engineer Mark Dickens handling the driving.
