93 probe vs 97 cavalier.

[ronjonprobe93]

I have a 1993 base auto probe that puts out about 130 hp and 120 something torque with the intake modifications ive made to it and I have a friend with a bone stock 1997 auto cavailer ls convertible with the 2.2 liter. Who would win in a race? there is also a 200 lb weight difference(probe is lighter).

y dont u just race and find out? just a lil fun friendly tiny race?

The Cav would win, its a Chev. no ford can beat there superior enginering.

Mustang=Corvette

Which would you rather have??

Ill take a Chevrolet over a Ford any day. Unless we are talking about an older stang. Those are so nice.

PS nothing against any ford owners, i have just had better experance with the Chevs

You would win hands down if it was stock vs stock.
If it was modified at all that would be another story. That 2.2 puts down about 90hp to the wheels. It runs about 17.5 in the 1/4. If it is swapped with the 2.2 ecotec, you would lose. The 2.2 ecotec puts about 130 to the wheels.

both are slow as crap, i work at a chevy dealership and i driven every cavalier and they are all slow as balls even the z24 and all the ecotec's...they are all built like crap they are so crappy....

sorry if you like them but they are just crappy...brand new ones making all kinds of noises like they have 100,000 miles on them....nasty

Man, I've been trying to be polite to you, as you are local to me, and I have met you personally, but where is that dyno sheet of an actual confirmed stock Ecotec?

You're telling us that it has a 10-HP loss through the drivetrain, or are you saying that it's underrated?

Before you say stuff like that again, especially since your credibility around here has been going down lately, please come back with something to back it up, k?

How does a chevy have "superior engineering"? I have the superior engineering because I have a MAZDA engine!

Now now ladies... let's keep it civil.


No need for a pissing contest on who makes a better whatever...



I don't wanna have to close this thread. Ya Dig?

[89Turbo944]

Yes a Mazda is better than a Chev engine in this case, but im comparing the 2 no imports.

[MustangRoadRacer]

Probe would win.

[racerzchick]

yuh..hm i dunno i always raced my bf's cavy and he didnt have ecotec but i still could burn civics not sure about a probe ..i think prob the probe would win

Sorta reminds me off the 100yd dash in the Special Olympics...even if you win you still lose.

THAT sounds more plausible.

I see you drive an old Civic. I used to have a '90 CRX Si, pretty much the same car as you. I have to say, I put more money into that CRX than I did into my 86 Cavalier, 92 Olds Cutlass, 94 S10, 91 Tracker, and '99 Sonoma combined. Most people swear on Honda's reliability, but I'd take a GM anyday, but would take a lot of thinking to buy another Honda.
