HA

too bad none of those GM cars are being produced...

yeah i would go for the 220 sport, but it is a SEMA concept car and we all know that GM is the biggest wuss when it comes to making a car that people actually want... they are killing the camaro, firebird, no v-6's in anything that weighs less than 3000 pounds... the only car that they are going to have going for them is the corvette... i love GM but there is no way those cars are going to be made!

p.s. gotta love the entrance on the first post!

you guys DO know about the new 2.0L 810hp orange DRAG cavalier right?? well it beat lisa kubo and is now one of the fastest FWD drag cars. Keep in mind that engine is a production 2.2L Ecotec HEAVILY modded, dont worry i know what goes into creatign a drag engine, im not saying a stock 02' ecocav could run 9's. What i AM saying is that the new ecocav has much tunning potential.

What the hell is this? No RWD models? About the only two I could think of would be the Cav and the Neon. The only reason I say that is a V-6 motor could be dropped in. There's no replacement for displacement. Then again, I may be going out on a limb with the Neon. It's rumored that the Mopar R&D group dropped a 3.5 liter V-6 out of a Intrepid into a Neon back in 96. I don't know how true that is, but could you imagine a Neon with that big a motor? I wonder how fast that thing would go? It would be nice if it was true. Oh well.

.

I'd go with the Cougar over any of those little cars.

Cavalier, sorry I think that car is ugly. Just too damn plain. Sunfire isn't as bad but not that great either. Saturn, Neon, blah. Focus.....Civic wannabe.

WHY?

Why would you waste your time on any domestic small cars?

V8's are the only we got thats worth a damn and they are getting killed off.

a cav is the only way to go. To hell with all the imports and the rest of those shitty domestics on the list. The cavalier has more tuning potetial that any of those cars could even dream of having. The 2.2 drag car proves that.

I chose geo cuz those are pimp! I beat the shit outa my moms geo prizim when I was learing to drive, race, drift, and whatnot...it still runs great! Only repair needed was a bearing from nailing a curb at 50 (advoiding a jackass flying up on me)
