ok i was on my way to school yesterday, and a cavalier pulls up next to me at a redlight so we race, i had him on initial take off, but once i hit 5 grand, i layed off a bit and he finally overtook me, i was in a 88 firebird with 208k on it and my fat *** inside it, do you think it pretty much held its own or i should of been able to completly take the cavalier?

 

The 2.8 cav's are lighter and have better burning cylinder heads. No surprise that he took you

 

hell ya, those bitches are qiuick, if it's the same one you talking that i drove, it had a cowl induction hood, z24 special model

 

it was just a normal blue cavalier, i did see a z24 on 71 today, thing was hauling, cept i just got a 182$ ticket yesterday so ive been going around speed limit, bleh.

 

i had a 1985 Camaro with the 2.8 V6 MPFI with dynomax exhaust,K&N air filters,Accel 8 mm plug wires and i walked dog on my friends 89 Z24 Cavalier with the 2.8 V6

 

The Cavalier is going to take you if he knows how to drive, they run mid-high 15's stock. 0-60 in 7.5 seconds

 

Transmission type might affect this- if it was automatics-

V6 Cavilers and Sunbirds had a 3spd auto

THe F-bodys had the 4spd auto which should greatly enhance their off the line VS a 3spd auto

 

I tell ya, the 2.8 is just terrible sometimes. Although sometimes its OK.
