The 2.4 TC is faster than the ECOTEC, any J-Body website will have several posts about the same thing.

I hate to quote magazine tests but they even had 2.4 TC > 2.2 ECO. You wouldn't be passing me in your Alero.
I used to think everyone was picking on you and it was wrong, but now I see why with your lame comments, and it seems you dont know **** about cars. First off, one of my best friends had a 2.4 Alero, and we raced when I had exhaust and from a dig up til 70, I had him by 4 cars, and dont say exhaust adds that much power. And I even hung out with a few guys with Cavy's, both with the ECOTEC engine and the 2.4L, and its funny because I've beatin 2.4L Cavy's with no problem. And a couple of the guys I hung with raced, one had 2.4L Cavy and 5spd with exhaust, intake, header, and lowering springs and the Ecotec Cavy with 5spd had exhaust and intake, and at the track the ECOTEC won with a 9.9 and the 2.4L ran a 10.2. So I would be passin you in my Alero.

Yeah, but don't you have a factory supercharger where the car he is racing does not?

Obviously there is no comparsion between a coblat SS and a cav.

I think the guy should be able to take em. If not, grab a set of gears and whip him.

Also, unless he is john force just race him from a stop. If you can drive at all you should kill him.

Wait a minute. Cody, I usually don't bust your *****...Well, just because I don't care about the stories you tell. But your Cobalt isn't your Daily Driver? It's your "nice" car that you keep in the garage and only drive when it's sunny out?

I sold my last Camaro SS a couple months ago so I could finish paying off my acreage.

Now I just have my Cobalt, 2001 Z24 and 1993 Z24.

I am old enough that my Cobalt is all the fun I need, afterall I have $23,000 wrapped up in a car that handles like a SOB, runs 13's and tops out around 160mph.

I thought about a GTO or 03-04 Z06 but I want to but a bigger house and thats more important.

I think hes talking about his Cobalt, which cost him about $22,000 or so, I guess they handle well(dont really know, never driven one) and with his stage 2 he runs in the 13's and the top speed on the Cobalt SS/SC is about 155-160. Thats what I made out of it.

To anybody who knows. What should I be expecting out of a 2003 Chevy Cavalier with stage2 cams, Custom Exhaust, Intake, CAI, and Stage1 Weight Reduction?? He says that he could give me(in my 6) a run for my money(figuratively, I think). What do you guys think?? If you Don't talk to the guy, you'd think he was RICE, b/c of his paint job, fartcan, and wing, BUT I did talk to him. He works at an Autozone down here and I was telling him about what I'm going to do to my Vette, b/c I was in there for parts for it and then we started talking about cars in general. Seems like he knows his SH IT!! But I think he may have played GT4 a little too much, haha.

Back on subject, though... Do you guys think I can beat him?? He has a manual transmission that he has blown 4 times since he bought the car(replaced all under warranty, lucky bastard).
Yep, the guy's a real pro. I'll bet he's finished every race on GT4. [8D]

Personally, it's a lose/lose situation for you to race him..........not to mention a waste of gas. But if he wants to act up big, just race him from a dig and shut him up.

BTW, how do you blow the engine on a warrantied car FOUR times? Can you say "Lemon Law"? You want my opinion.....the race he has against your 6 will be his FIFTH blown engine for his 03 Cavi.[sm=lol.gif]

I think he just tore up the trans. And I can believe that. It's a POS trans thats designed for 17 year old girls to drive back and forth to school. When you start adding any mods, and power shifting them, they just don't hold up.
