RE: A Loss...I Suppose
It's a Garrett T03 off of a Laser/Daytona. I am not real sure on specs or anything like that because my dad built the car ~8 years ago or so for a friend of his, and then the guy sold it to him after hitting a deer for very cheap two years ago. I just turned down the boost and drive it during the winter because it is marginally better than the SVO.

lol. Not in stock form. 
My LD9 > 2.2 Ecotec anyday. I do know what the Ecotec motors are capable of though, especially once you add some boost. I've toyed with the idea of getting a S/C'ed '01-'02 LS Sport Cavy. I've found a few for cheap on J-body.org. The '03 and newer body style is gross looking though. The S/C'ed Ecotec's I've found though are only low 15 second cars still. And I don't get it, because I'm pretty darn confident that I could've ran a low 15 in my stock Z24.

Ecotec > Z24.

Yeah, the Z24's don't do too bad. My last car was a silver 2000 Z24 with a 5speed. It surprised quite a few people.

i feel you there
, was it just a cavi or was it a z24? one of my best buds had a black Z24 that he just got rid of to buy a GTO, i can't say it was very fast, but it wasn't slow either

Eh, not the smartest, but no *** end slidingwith theFWD, and I might have hit60 mph max.
I rarely run on the street because I preferthe track, but I haven't been to the track since October 13 (college keeps me busy) and had been having withdrawal symptoms.

RE: A Loss...I Suppose
I dunno, I never lost to an Ecotec though, and my Z24 was bone stock. But, that could be that I was a better driver than they were. I even beat a non-S/C Cobalt SS with the 2.4 Ecotec that's rated at170hp. I know that was because he had an auto though. I think my Z24 was some kind of factory freak though or something. It seemed a lot faster than it should've been. Especially with some of the cars that I beat with it.

RE: A Loss...I Suppose
I had a friend with a Z24 that went 15.3 with CAI and a muffler. Thing was pretty quick...especially considering his 96 GT Manual ran a best of 15.3 stock I would say the little Cavy did fairly well.
