Fast Cavaliers

Who in here has a cavalier that is at least running LOW 16s or faster. Please let me know if your stock or what kind of mods you have made to you car. Thanks

Re: Fast Cavaliers

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but won't a Z24 with your basic intake/exhaust run in the high 15's?

You are right. I'm pretty sure a lot of cars are running better than 16's. New exhuast would do it along with a CAI or WAI and aftermarket header. Take out the sound system in your trunk and you will help out the weight a bit.

I only have a 2.2 with a WAI and exhuast...haven't taken it to the track. Don't think I want to just yet. Not sure what i'll get in time though. Mines an auto as well.

My friend and I went, we saw one Cavalier RWD with a 350.

And another RWD Cavalier with a 464....

Re: Fast Cavaliers

The reason why I think Jayons's is fast because it's about 2 seconds faster than mine. Think about it. You are racing another Cavalier that looks just like yours yet he beats you by two seconds in the ¼ mile. That is a whopping 2 seconds behind when you pass the finish line. If i was close to his time in the ¼, I wouldn't consider that fast because i'm right up there with him. Because then maybe I know the next run I could beat him.

no, thats not bullshit, i have also seen a J body with a 454, that was RWD,

and the word FAST, thats in opinion word, i had an 86 plymouth reliant, it proabaly ran 20's, then i got my cavalier, it probably runs 17's, i think its fast, compared to my old car, im sure most of in here think 14's is pretty damn quick, but jason doesnt, like i said, its an opinion

Re: Fast Cavaliers

If it runs 13.9 or lower it is fast in my opinion. 14-15.8 is quick. that is just me though.

And no it isnt BS. Why the hell would I lie about something a complete stranger owns?

Re: Fast Cavaliers

I dont think you are fast until you hit 11's, 12's are pretty fast, and 13's are quick, but most of my time is spent with or around turbo DSMs, some with AWD.
