my 330 sucks so does my 1/8th mile. 60' could also be better.
The 1-2 shift I spun horribly and the 2-3 shift I spun alittle. My clutch was also slipping in 4th...it was an exedy street disc...maybe I can get some pics up if I find my camera that thing was SHOT.
6 puck goin in soon ;)
102 trap for 14.6 is fast he should have gone faster but you dont run your best time everytime.
When I first got my car no nitrous I was runnin 15.4's in the high 80 mph range with 2.3-2.5 60's after weeks of practice at the track I got it down to a 14.7 @ 93 mph with 2.1-2.2 60's.

god damn would you cavi guys stop being so emotional over stupid stuff like this? Seriously I haven't seen people who can't take criticism like you guys thus far. Maybe you guys are sensitive because z24's are often frowned upon as slow just the way I am sensitive about domestic lovers calling me a ricer for liking japanese sports cars, I don't know. The problem is most people can't get excited about a supercharged cavalier and you'll just have to deal with it.
On a side note I believe motor trend put out a comparison test on the cobalt ss (supercharged cavalier) vs the srt-4 and though the cobalt held its own on the track I believe the srt-4 was handicapped somehow as stated at the beginning of the article.

yeah in the article they said "the engine was still green with less then 1000 miles on the odo" previously they tested the 04 srt-4 as 0-60 in 5.5 and 1/4 14.0 @ 102.7 so i either think A) they had a "green engine" or B) they can't drive the srt-4 lol. I have the motortrend mag in question in my posetion.
the Srt-4 IS faster then the SS and RL but i understand Motortrends take on the cars. The SS and RL are the new kids on the block its thier time to shine. I am just happy domestic car companies are finally makeing "performance" cars i can afford.
Also sk8er why i mention the block on the srt-4 to be able to hold 500 whp is because jayson decided to get all into "my block can hold this much hp and chevy has a race car bla bla bla." + we are talken about forced induction, cept mine was set up for it and the 2.4 L cavy was not.
Edit: sorry Jayson if i pissed you off. I like you and your cavy. Sometimes i just let my ego get the best of me.

Thank god someone here sees that.
If you guys actually had alot of people who modded cavaliers only for speed and kept things clean you would probably get more respect but...what did you say 150 of them only supercharged?
Majority of your drivers throw on some altezza's big wings and stupid rims and an intake. Yes alot of honda, nissan and every other car make has those people too but with jbodies there is way more rice then there is nice.

How many respected members make a thread defending there car out of the masses of crap? its nice to see a quick one, hell both those cavies are like 3 secs faster then 99.5% of the other J bodies. So woot, but still they arn't as godly as your huffing them to be.
I dont see myself making not all civics are gay but your all fags for thinking so threads, or mr lous saying i'm not a hater cause my car is fast.
Put your e cocks away, there small and flaccid.
Someone end this please.

ugg lots of miss interpitations going on in this tread its pretty gay if you ask me
i never said my car was godly fast or i could hold 500whp on stock interals all i said is that a cavy can be quick and i had some vids to prove it, i did say that i thought 270whp on a 4cyl N/A engine was pretty good and that it can run decent track times, i dont think you guys even understud what i was trying to get at as you would always dis me and jump down my throat
i like my car because no one expects a cavy to be quick at all i just like to show them whats up
what the fuck is wrong with that i dunno maybe you all are bias tools or something .....?

There you go. Sure that will make everyone real happy.
I felt like you called out my car with this statement.....
lol you probley dont even run low 13's anyways so what are you to say
I understand, and can respect the times that the J-Body's can run. But please don't think they can keep up with me. And don't give me that "I have double the motor" shit. I don't have a power adder, you do. Things are even. I have said it in this thread, and I am going to say it again. 13's in a J-Body IS impressive.
Some of your statements though man....... :nono:

whatever i dont care anymore, if you dont want to respect me and by respecting me you respect my car, go fuck yourself. I know its not the fastest thing in the world, i know its not the most expensive thing in the world. I jsut dont want to hear it from some fuckwads what i already know? What are you trying to do, just bring me down cause i like my car? Sorry if i enjoy my car more than you like yours, but step the fuck off my high horse its not your job to tell me if my car sucks. If you dont like my car keep your fucking mouth shut cause i dont want to hear it anymore.

That a boy Luos. Really, I could care less if anyone has a problem with Civics. I do defend them however when it comes down to it. But I mean really, I can handle criticism very well. OrangeZ, you made your point about "some" Cavy's being fast. What it seems you are doing here is trying to point out that all Cavy's are going to be like yours someday and then you will all rule the streets or something. Then again, you probably aren't. Leave it alone. It's over.
Thanks for the vids. They were good. But truthfully, I don't go shooting my mouth off about 13 Sec Civics, or even 11 Sec Civics. I've seen it before, it is impressive, but honestly if someone doesn't like it, then that's for them to worry about. It has happened before, and it will happen again soon enough. But any car can be modded to be faster than a WRX. This case, it was a Cavy. Cool. Be proud of that Cavy.
Learn to take it at that. Don't stress it. All you're doing is causing more trouble for yourself everytime you open your mouth. Same for you CivicHBsi. Most of the time you come in here you give off negative comments. Not saying all the time, but still. It's no wonder you got banned before. Sorry to bring that up, but you honestly need to learn to hold your tongue. This is an open thread, and everyone can see how much of an ass you can be. Tone your attitudes down the both of you. I'm not a mod. I can't give warnings or anything, but seriously...KNOCK IT OFF!! Seriously. L8...

hell i just thought it be nice to post vids as not many people have seen a cavy move like that before,how offten do you see one taking on a 300hp car ... not everyday thats for sure i just thought maybe some of you guys would think it was interesting and apreated it for what it was but infact you all had nothing better to say then to compair it to other cars and say that they are peaces of shit
anyways im done

that is true though, he just started this thread about showing some cool vids about some cool j bodys and then this whole thing turned into a flame war. i have no comment on anything because 13 seconds is definitly an impressive time slip. both sides makes good points. civihb made good points and jayson and orangez made good points. so theres really no winners in this debate, it all depends on what side your lookin at this from. anyways you guys should get use to gettin ragged on, we all get ragged on, i get ragged on for driving a japanese car, i get ragged on by hondas for not driving a honda, blah blah blah. sure i get mad, but i would just say something, then just let it be, and it gives me more motivation to make my car faster and let the car do the talking.

cool vids... and dont let these guys fool you. I see people posting vids of ws6's and stuff all the time in here. and no one rags on them for their reliability or handling. i mean how can someone rag on the interior work of a cavalier, in anything besides a european car. But guys just think of this for a second, i havent seen people getting ragged on this bad since ecot3c. these guys drive 13 second cars and this is an open forum. im sorry but i like seeing this kind of thing. you know, different than the usual. if this forum is for only posting ls1's, or cars with swaps, count me out. wtf people cant even show pride for their own cars anymore. ps.... ls1's dip into the 12's stock (just one of the biased things ive heard spouted off on these forums) yet two of our members, one who is cammed and all..... run mid 13's? :disappoin get mad people... get mad

Agreed, I have only seen 2 ls1 cars dip into the 12s at the track, 1 was a c5, the other was a WS6 that was heavily modded, and it ran a 12.8. Most i've seen at the track that had headers/exhaust were 13.4 or so. This is at 1000 feet above sea level. Repeat the same for Mustangs, except add 1 second (most run 14s, few into the 13s).

Not thinking you are talking to me. The other guy has a LS6 cam. While it is cammed, it is a VERY small cam compared to the bigger cams out there.
The fastest 'cam-only' LS1 car is 10.5. Stock heads and bolt-ons.
I run at 5800 feet above sea level. You want my NHRA corrected times?? It is roughly a best of 12.8 at like 113-114 MPH. Yeah, traction impaired. Slipping stock clutch doesn't help.
And yes, there are LS1 cars that have hit 12's, STOCK. I know a guy that has done it. It takes a perfect day at the track, but it can be done.

no you like starting shit, youve prolly started shit with me in atleast 10 different threads about my cavalier alone. ANd ive seen you get banned for alot of other things as well. ANd further more, no one has ever cried to the mods about you, they always ban you of there own free will. Also i dont think anyone here really cares what you think or say, maybe its cause you never have anything nice to say about someones work or efforts. I honestly think you are one of the least respected memebers in this forum. To me, you are below Burntrice and DetroitMuscle. Just another poser trying to make himself look cool on the internet.
Please lock this thread.

Dude it's not even your car sure it might be near it but its not yours so who gives a flying fuck is beyond me. I think we all *the common posters* know that any car with $$ can be fast even a J body and i'll say those were damned quick.
What I meant is why you go posting someone elses car like you did all defesively out of no where is what seems to be bothering everyone. There was no attack why jump and defend yourselves hence my failed point using myself and Mr Luos *yet again no offence to you I was trying to word a point and failed*
So all in all this thread is a pile of crap and flaming please just call it a day.
PS i drive a civic you think i dont get un fair heat?? trust me its alot worse then you can dream of.

I have been banned twice, once in the honda forum once in the cavalier forum...once for giving my opinion on someones car which I was out of hand the other I was defending myself after people started to flame me because I drove a honda...it goes both ways pal.
Did you put on your supercharger? do you do all your own work? if so then ill give you credit for that good job, if not then...you dont deserve any credit for work or effort. Your car is stock looking and clean, good job on that, I really dont have a problem with any of you, I honestly dont like cavaliers any but thats my opinion im entitled to that.
You do the same thing I do to you buddy, im honestly tired of it, I dont have any beef with you, im done.

This whole post started out with good nature, we were all asking questions about the 2.4L in good nature. Then the guy starting the thread some how got offended and decided to make a jab at Mr.Lous. He brought all of this crap on himself. Allthough Civichbsi didn't help much.
Edit: CivicHBsi whoa you just confused the hell outa me saying you only got banned 2x but mentioning 4 times ?????????????? :confused:

Where did I mention 4 times? I have only been banned twice.
Edit: I meant I was banned in the Honda forums for giving my opinion on someones car and I got out of line, The second was in the Cavalier forum where I was defending myself after I was insulted and I got banned but 3-4 Cavalier members just got a warning...ahh favoritism.

Well now that was an enlightening discussion. I would have to agree with TatII that both sides did present fair points and also brought many unfair biases to the table.
However, I know I learned something new with it, so the discussion was not completely useless. CivicHBsi91, Jayson, and Orange z I hope to see 13 second timeslips from all of ya. :thumbsup:

wow this bitch got long. Since it seems to be winding down I'll just lay down my last 'peace' to this thread.
OrangeZ and Jayson I meant no disrespect by criticizing your reactions to our criticisms and in fact respect you both simply for the fact that you could kick my ass in my current car. A fast cavalier is not something common so to see somone who actually took the initiative to really build up the engine is impressive.
I think we truely let our tempers get the best of us here and I know we've all been there. Whether you've been stereotyped as a 'ricer' or an 'ignorant domestic lover' to stereotypes that get more involved with your car or style. I know we've all had it happen and it sucks.
Hell I remember having a mustang owner call me a ricer on a different forum for liking the 2g eclipse gsx. I took great offense to that and unleashed on him, pointing out that the picture of the mustang in his signature showed a huge unnecessary wing, making him look stupid and withdraw but no one really withdrew this time and it got out of hand.
Most of us here have the same goal and that is to work on our car one way or another whether its for speed or looks and for that I have a great deal of respect for most people here.

no offence at all here towards you or anything.....but slapping on a factory supercharger is by no means really building up the engine. (if that is what u meant)

I meant by adding anything, any power adder or power supporter what so ever and I wasn't about to list everything like
-Bolt ons
-turbo
-supercharger
-nitrous
-cams
-pistons/rods
-fuel mods
etc
I should have just let it be at "Anyone who seeks to improve their car"
and no I don't consider ricing a car improving it just to clear things up.

making a Honda fast is old, there are so many quick hatches out now with b22/b18 swaps its like standard now. When one of the first things you ask a Civic hatch now is "what engine swap did you do?" you know it's done too much. Now a supercharged Cavalier, that's something thats different.
:bigthumb: , what's wrong with something new/different??? Yes, most cavaliers are ricers, but if ur car is fast/quick i give you props. All i know is that my 4-banger in my camry can't really keep up with anyone...:twak:
