my manager at work has a cavalier 2.2 ecotec automatic (that he thinks is hot ****) with a heavy system in it and he told me today that he could whoop my *** so i told him that the race is on. im fairly confident that i will beat him. what do you guys think?
Is this a serious question? I mean this with the upmost respect...if you lose please don't post back up here and trade your car for a Hon-duh....seriously.

lol like i said i am confident that i will beat him. im not very worried about it. well when i beat him il tell him he needs to go buy a 3rd gen! lol then every body eill know who has the fastest car at work lol
I mean honestly....are you worried about it?? What does the cavvy run.....17's at best. I wouldn't even worry about it, lol......what is it with guys that drive caviliers anyway, I have some older guy around here that thinks he can whoop up on mine......assclowns...
doesn't your avatar say you have a 305 tpi and a 400 horse 350.....if your so worried about it....take the 400 horse car.....
I wouldn't bother wasting my gas with that race...
im not worried about it anymore. i just cant wait to shut him up cuz he talks about that f****** car every damn day it really pisses me off. i guess if i could cut off 4 cylinders it would be a closer race lol and i m going to race him in my '90 cuz its my daily driver the 350 is in my 86 parts car and its missing the front clip. but if it was on the road i wouldnt even bother with the cavalier. it would have to be something like an lt1 ir ls1. lol
I dunno, if he has a fart can muffler he might edge you out

ecotec j-bodies run 15s not 17s. my old 05' Sunfire ran a 15.8 at 88mph with a crappy 2.4 60ft. if i had any talent at launching FWD, it wouldve been a low 15 sec pass with that mph
thats not fast by any means, but a stock auto LB9 isnt much faster
A 305 TPI should still be fast enough to beat a 2.2L Cavalier. As long as it is in good tune I wouldn't worry about it. A few basic bolt-ons would help, but I doubt you'll need them.
"update" i raced the cavalier today. i blew him away! i was going to race him on te street but he was to "scared" so we went to an abandoned parking lot near my house. we lined up even and on the first honk he revved the **** out of it lol it made me laugh, and on the third honk we took off. i had him in first and second and when i hit 3rd he was pulling on me a little. he was pissed and i have to work with him tomorrow lol
Jeebus. About 10 years ago my stock v6 3rd gen beat a Cav from a roll. Started about 50 and had several car lengths by 100.
This race was never in doubt.

sure it was an ecotec Cav? my stock ecotec Sunfire was a easy 15 sec car and a stock thirdgen V6 is a 18/17 sec car. no way a stock V6 bird would put lengths on one from a roll
you probably raced the old OHV 2.2 Jbody. theyre ungodly slow. the ecotec version is a whole different car

I ran my cavy for fun at our 1/4 mile track and on a set of winters...This was all for shits and giggles (I raced my buddy's Z71 pickup) and i ran a 17.1 with a slipping tranny. I have seen ecotecs run and they run 16.3ish they are only a smidge faster than my cavy and mine is not fast...
haha omg a cavalier? your co worker had no chance in the first place. read a few of the comments here, and i think i smell some ppl with doubts on the 305 tpi???????? COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a 2.2 vs a small block? 305 arent the greatest but come on, they got power behind them that can beat out cars.
