1/4 mile times

Id like to know what people on this site are running at the 1/4 mile, what kind of cavalier they have and what they have done to them. And please no bullshit

16.9 Last time i ran with my 2200 auto 4 dr. With just an intake and open muffler.

Thats not bad. do you know what the 2200 runs stock

mid 17's... I lucked out that day at the track.. its was only 41 degrees... when i first ran it when it was 70-80's out i pulled 17.3.

Im running low 16's with mine but ive done a little work to it. Id like to get to mid 15's if I can. So far ive done plug wires, header, downpipe, high flow cat, custom exhuast, 4 inch muffler, ground kit, plugs, short ram intake, short shifter. I just ordered upper and lower engine mounts but cant put them on till the end of the year cause im sitting in Iraq right now till december. What else should I do to get my time down except new tires. Im running wal-mart tires as of know. Thanks for your help

I forgot to add that it was like 80's-90's last time i ran so i might do a little better next time ( I hope)

Try a larger bored TB, motor mounts will help you, if you wish to keep the car N/A... start playing with your internals... Time to Cam your car bro! Or a nice shot of giggle juice will do nicely!

I have some motor mounts waiting for me at my house. And ive been leaning toward getting a new throttle body. How hard is it to install cams. Ive never done it before and really wouldnt know where to start

i got a 97 z24 5spd that runs a 15.5 @ 89 mph

intake, exhaust, header, clutch, short shifter, springs

My 04 fire 5spd. ran a 15.7
With a 2.2 60'

Intake, exhaust, control arm bushings.

my 2001 ran 15.4 @96 last time i ran it
header..cat back single exhaust
cam
wiring
pully
shift kit
cold air intake
fuel pump
top end rebuilt

those are some good times.Im looking to get my 00 cavalier in the mid 15's.

have fun dude...great yourself ready to spend a couple thousand
so far ive spent prolly about 2000 to 2500 canadian modifying mine
its an expensive hobby, but for the hardcore its well worth it in the end lol

hmm.... for about 2000 USD and alot of knowledge of what you were doing and also mechanically inclined, you could have a 15 sec car. You can easily piece together a good turbo setup for that price and then some.

who me ?...im mechanically inclined enough to say that i would prefer to keep my car n\a for right now...and if anything im going for a SC besides...i prolly could have a 15 sec car if i replaced those damn pos tires i got on that thing lol.

fear my mid 14 second car! MUhAhahA! NO ONE HERE IS FASTEr IN THERE CAVY THEN ME!

.... :eek7:.... I can name 3 right off the top of my head. :wink:.. but i'll let you have your fun.

lol mine's probably mid 16s or so...i haven't ran it...stock 98 2dr 5spd cavi...

Im also wanting to keep mine n/a. I know its not gonna be real fast but for a 2200 with out any poweradders it does all right. Im planning on getting a new car that has a turbo on it so im gonna keep the cavi n/a and have as much fun with it as i can.

I ran a 16.1 with an iceman intake, and 2.3L HO intake manifold and TB. I have a 97 grand am with the 5 speed isuzu.

Any idea what the 2003+ manual Cavalier/Sunfire coupes (Ecotec obviously) run in the quarter? I am guessing low 16's...Any confirmation?

haha...i smoked a 2005 cobalt sport the other day...guess the ecotec is behind me now lol....now if only i could challenge the 2.4 and win

Put your car up against an SS and see if your still talking shit!

BTW...here are the specs of the 2.2L Ecotec DOHC engin straight from chevrolet's site...

Horsepower/kW @ engine RPM 145/108.17 @ 5600 RPM
Torque (lb.-ft./N-m) @ engine RPM 155/210.15 @ 4000 RPM

If you can take that...then you can just about take a 2.4.

What mods do you have to take thet new Cobalt?

mines got a ram air intake with a custom hood scoop placed over the intake filter...high conductivity plug wires, distributor cap, performance spark plugs, aftermarket camshaft, elctronic shift kit improver for an automatic, header, catback exhuast, fuel regulator,....but anyways..i heard all this talk the eco being a sweet engine but i took one on just to check it out and this guy had a standard one and im auto and i was gone off the line...and he never peeled out either..just....slow

i can prolly take a normal Z24 but if its been modified more then just stuff like an intake then i might have trouble....haha..only till i get my internals..crank..pistons..then i start saving for the turbo kit lol

Mod'd Cav what kind of car do you have. I didnt catch what you had.

i have a 2005 ecotec with a ram air K@N setup and synthetic oil, spare tire removed, and i ran a 15.19 in the quarter the other day, twilight at about 80 degrees.

so you're almost as fast as Jaysons Supercharged Z24 and your basically stock? ha.. :bs:

call me a liar, i dont care, bash me all you want. he asked i answered. not lying.

i have a 2001 2.2L coupe with alot of shit done to it..basically im broke ass haha

ya and sorry but i find it hard to believe that your 2005 with just a k&n setup and no spare is just as good as a supercharged Z24...hey jayson..looks like you could have saved yourself alot of money...all you needed to do was remove your spare come track day

Coablt SS S/C's arent all that fast. Ive seen them run, not to impressed really. Last time i was at the track an Ion Redline was there, its best was 15.0. And just to let everyone here know, its been confirmed, THERE IS NO BREAK IN PERIOD for the 2.0 Ecotec Supercharged. The engine doesnt limit the RPMS or boost. Thats just something the dealers started to say because alot of people said the cars felt sluggish when test driving them.

My 2004 5 speed cavalier ran a [email protected] with a AEM CAI, lightweight pulley, and borla muffler. It also ran a 15.287 to back it up. But I usually run pretty consistant 15.4's and 15.5's

Now those are some impressive figures! What were you running bone stock?

I don't know. I never took it to the track when it was stock. I'm going back out to the track for the first time this year today. I want to see if I can still pull times like before. (different engine) (long story).

Since last time at the track I have added a bored TB, custom port matched intake manifold, and a stiffer lower motor mount. But I think the clutch is starting to show that I have been racing this car alot. It used to spin the tires alot more when shifting. I think it's starting to get worn out. we'll see tonight!

04 cavi, my best is a 15.1.
Header,
Intake,
Grounding kit,
Removed rear seats, spare tire,...
Just installed underdrive pulley

What does a completely stock 2003+ Cavalier/Sunfire with a 5 spd run? How about automatic?

It can take me hours to get home from my buddies house 1/4 mile away. So my time is 3600 seconds or more. :grinyes:

well my car runs a 13.8

wait, thats our chevelle, not my cavi... my cavi runs a mid-high 15s

Check out this cavy getting 12's! click the 2nd video (http://media.automotivelifestyle.com/djclueless/)

On a good day I'll do a flat 16 except once on a wierd & very cool nighton the south side of the island I pulled a 15.7.

lol mine's probably mid 16s or so...i haven't ran it...stock 98 2dr 5spd cavi...

what engine?

i have a 96 Z24 with the quad 4. i had the head ported and polished. all new internals. bored slightly. intake, exhaust, 215/45/17's. and i ran a 14.6 @ 101 mph.

i have a stock 98 z24, 2.4L auto. and my best was 16.2, only thing really done to it is flowmaster exhaust ,i was planing to put a turbo kit in it, but i heard not to, because i'd lock up the motor, is that really true? or is it the Lbs your running it at? i'd rather upgrade other stuff then puting a turbo in it.

I ran a 16.1 @ 78degrees with my 03 4dr LS Sport Sedan.
- Cold-air Intake
- Cat-back exhaust.

i have a 2005 ecotec with a ram air K@N setup and synthetic oil, spare tire removed, and i ran a 15.19 in the quarter the other day, twilight at about 80 degrees. :screwy:

Um dude it was makin fun of the other guy who said he ran like a 15.18 or whatever it was at 80 or so degrees with just a K&N air filter, cat-back and the spare removed.

Whats so wrong with that? Ive seen a bone stock eco cavy 2dr 5sp yank out a 15.62 with a track temp of 109. The guy is a great driver and all and cut everything just right but it wasnt all driver and no car so I dont see what is so wrong about those figures at that kind of temp with a good driver behind the wheel.

Thats just me though. Ive seen worse and Ive seen better.

lol, sorry i didnt catch that

i ran 15.8 at 87.2mph with the 17's on. only have WAI was pretty hot like 27 celcius and 75% humidity, gas tank near full (d'oh) and realised air filter was filthy afterwards. will make this lower real soon!

My Honda runs a 15.4 at 80 MPH (on my car domain) Intake, header,exhaust, disconected muffler, MSD Box.

My cavalier Intake Exhaust ran like a million seconds at like no mph. (2200)

And my pals Z24 runs a 15.6 at 87 with Intake, Exhaust, Pulley, motor mounts, no backseat.

Why do thoughs number not add up to me? 15.4 @ 80? I run a 16.1 @ 85. That just doesnt sound right to me. :eek7:
