who would take it?

[cavman03]

I have a friend with a 92 camy 4dr. [It has a 1.6L] and i have a 98 4dr 2.2 cavi, and he says he will blow me so i was wonderin who would win..
both cars are automatics, and stock except his aftermarket muffler

I would have to say the camry I have driven both of these cars and a 2.2 4dr is slow as hell... and the camry does have a little get up for a 1.6 but i am sure it will be a slow win lol...

[RedCavalierRacer]

So are you saying that the cavalier 2 dr is faster then the cavalier 4 door? i used to have a cavalier 4 door LS, it was not bad speed, the thing i liked about it most was the 4 gear tranny

[cavman03]

i wana find a 2.2 super or turbocharged to swap in it
lol

[cavman03]

opps i ment 2.4

[jayson716]

i have one in my garage just needs new heads and bearings. but if you want to turbo or super it you should upgrade those things anyway. and no i am just saying the 2.2 in these are not fast.

[cavman03]

how much would u want for it..... 2.4 right .... miles.... and how much would the head and bearings cost?

[jayson716]

i am not sure. some1 told it would be better to just drop a new one in so i found one out of a grand am it 30 k on it and dropped it right in runs great. but the one that is bad i was going to build it up and i havent started it it had 57k on it when i spun a bearing. by the time it gets shipped you might be able to find one at a junk yard the grand am has the same motor and the sunfires might be able to find a good one for about 500

1992 Camry should have a 2.2 4 cylinder with about 135 horsepower, which is more than you have. Of course, the Camry should be heavier, too. I'd say it would be close, but the Camry would win.

[cavman03]

he told me it has a 1.6 and i saw it

[KJRich]

Don't worry, I'm not saying you're lying. I'm just saying what it "should" have.

In 1992, Toyota Camrys came with 2 engines. The 2.2L and the 3.0L. Base models came standard with a 2.2L I-4, putting out 130hp. Curb weight was just over 3,000lbs.

In 1998, Cavaliers came with 2 engines, the 2.2L and the 2.4L. The base model and the RS had the 2.2L I-4, ranked at 120hp. The curb weight was just over 2,600lbs.

Camrys never came with a 1.6L. In fact, the only Toyota that did come with a 1.6L was the 88-97 Corolla.

Your friend is full of shit, you need to train your eyes better, and the Cavy would beat the Toyota.
