Hey guys,
i was jsut wondering there is this cavalier z24 i wanna race. Its a 5 speed i think its got like an intake. nothing 2 moded speed wise. I got a 96 5 speed with Frankencar intake. If i cant take that what about the normal cavaliers? ive never really looked into cavaliers..

 

cavaliers lol well i raced a new one not the z24 though but lol i didnt even floor it and i killed it and i had 3 people in the car they are slow

 

aren't cavaliers 140hp cars?

 

the 140hp ones have 185torq on a 3.1litre v6, old skool
the newer ones have 150hp/155torq with 2.4, and the new ecotec have 10 less hp with a 2.2litre and 5 less torq, weighin in at about 2600lbs...

a 4th gen 5spd should take it no problem, the z24 5spd, civic SI or in canada, the siR, are on par with a 4th gen AUTO though... good for high 15s

 

I don't think they ever came with a 3.1 V6. I know I responded to this thread already...but I don't see anything, so I'll say it again.

Shame on you for asking if you can beat a Z24....you've got a 4th gen with 5 speed. There's no competition.

 

i am 200% positive they did, they run around all of us... i think its 4spd manual as opposed to 5spd...

 

The old z24s had a 3.1 v6. Talking like pre 93 or so.

 

well, i was talking about the newer body style. so with the 3.1 V6, were the older models faster than the newer 2.4's?

 

from what i read on those cavy forums, about the same....

 

The v6 was only available in automatic, so they weren't really any faster than the new 4cyl 5spds. both are slow.

 

i was wondering i have a cai and a y pipe and muffler and the z24 has cai and catback and headers would i win the race cause i am goin to race him but who would win

 

The old school Z-24 came with a 2.8 V6 and were available in 5 speed. I had a friend that had one. I am not sure if the 3.1's were available in 5 speed form. However, they were pretty quick back in the day. I am not sure how they compare to our cars. You could always race one and let us know.

 

so do u think i can beat him

 

go to the track and find out.
