My father in law says his 05 cavalier will beat my 97 3.0 cl. Both are stock and automatic transmissions. He wants to bet me $50 dollars. I think i know the answer but who do u think will win?

 

 

Prob the cav, its newer(only matters if engine /tans isn't beat to shit) and the cav probably ways less. Race him tho even at no bet, he will probably get you from the line but you might be able to catch him and pass him

 

the cav is newer, therefore itll automatically win

 

is the cav a 2.2 ecotec or a 2.4 DOHC?

Ive had two 2.2's and ive drove 2.4...2.2 has alot of torque while the 2.4 has good top end .

My money is on the 3.0

 

seriously? He's got a Cavalier and he's calling out people? wow....

 

the 05 cavalier has got this one

 

OHhh,, I was anticipating something MUCH more juicer, when i read the topic.

What happened here ??
NO, more FUN stories of red light/highway encounters with worth while contenders ??

I guess all we can get now are stock cavaliers

 

not even. the stock cavaliers will best our cars anyway.

 

Note to 1st generation CL owners:

When it gets to the point where you can get owned by a Chevrolet Cavalier it's time to trade up.

 

Umm...there's NO Cavalier that's beating my 1st Gen that i've ever seen. I don't think your 2nd gen could either to be honest. And yes, it's a 4 cylinder lol.

 

Not that I'm telling you what to post and what not to post but, firstly, if you knew you could beat an 05' Cavalier why did you post a thread asking for opinions on the matter?

Secondly, if your 97 3.0 CL is stock then there is no way in hell you're beating a more experienced driver, such as myself, in an 02' 260HP CL-S. You can hang that wet dream up.

Now, as for the Cavalier:

A new 2.2-liter, DOHC, 16-valve, "Ecotec" four-cylinder engine appeared in the Cavalier for the first time during the 2002 model year. While base Cavaliers continued with the ancient OHV 2.2-liter four and the Z24 still had the 2.4-liter unit, the 140-hp Ecotec was a clear improvement over any previous Cavalier power plant in terms of overall drivability and refinement. The 2.4-liter engine was dropped in 2003.

A guy with an 05 Cavalier may have a shot at beating a 2.2 CL with an inexperienced driver but not a 3.0 CL. The notion isn't even worth entertaining.

DaInfammus didnt start the thread...

 

Lmao. Clearly, you're highly confused. I'm not the thread starter, nor is my claim to beat your '02 260 HP CL-S a wet dream. I'm making a trip down the east coast soon, I'm sure we could set something up for a little bit of a-zine fun

 

There's plenty of space on I-95 for a top end race.

 

 

When is your trip?

 

I'll take on all of you. except for civicdrivr

 

 

Cool! I'll be sure to keep u posted.

Civicdrivr I have to move to florida in april so it has to be before then.

 

Too bad i live in Cali. I'm always down to race

 

I wana see this race LOL

As for the first post I use this as a good judge when im not sure, Im not sure how accurate it is but I think its pretty good http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html
