My best friend Greg has a 1992 Camaro Z-28 with a 5.7, 350 overhead valve engine, 5 Speed Manual, Mods: Dynomax catback exhaust, K&N Air Filter.
AND! My girlfriend just bought a 2001 Cavalier Z-24, I got sick and tired of her talking about how fast her four banger is, Just cuz it's new doesn't mean it's good, She's got the chrome rims, rear spoiler, chrome exhaust tip, sunroof, she thinks she's fast. Well I decided to shut her mouth the one day. Her and Greg went to the quarter mile place about 5 or 6 miles from my house, I went with Greg, Well my other friend had a 94 Dodge Shadow ES, He flashed his headlights, And my Greg absolutley demolished her from the start to the end, He must have beaten her by 10-15 car lengths, She was mad at me the rest of the night though, Cuz I have a 86 Camaro 2.8 with the same mods as Greg, I beat her the same night with my Camaro by about 7-8 car lengths. She had a 4 spd overdrive auto tranny, Tomorrow my other friend in the Shadow is gonna race her, He has a 3.0, V6, 5-Speed.

All my girlfriend has is a puny 2.4, DOHC, I-4

 

I thought the new GM 4-cyl was a 2.2... it's actually a pretty bitchin' motor, in its own way. I'll never dig the OHC stuff, and I wouldn't buy any car with a 4 cyl- but still, they wrung 750 hp out of it, which ain't half bad. (Sure, that's the alky-gulping, drag-race-only, turbo version, but still. I've seen Rat motors make less power.)

 

Your girlfriend has been afflicated with "domestic rice".
The cure for this disease is rare, but i think you and your friends may have found it to save her. Selling that cavalier and buying something faster will result in her complete recovery from this tragic illness....

 

Of course those rat motors, of which you speak of, aren't the "alky-gulping, drag race only, turbo versions".

 

Aren't 92 the fastest 3rd Gens "stock". Do you think my friend's Shadow ES will beat her

 

The shadow will be killed. I don't even know why you asked. I'm stupid, I thought you said if the shadow will beat the z28! I don't know, I think the shadow should win. Oh, nevermind scratch that. The z24 will beat the shadow. The shadow from what I read on carpoint.com at it's best only made like 100 hp. The z24 makes like 150. She will win.

 

i dont mean to be a party pooper, but i see a few things wrong with this : 1st) did your friend swap in that 5 speed? cause a factory 350 3rd gen never came with a manual... 2nd) i cant see a 2.8L with only cat back and a K&N beating a DOHC Cavalier (let alone by 7-8 lengths!). the 2.4L is good for high 15s, and your car stock is stuck in the 17s

 

Thats what I was going to say.

So did he swap in the 5 speed??

 

Agreed, but you missed a 3 inconsistency.

The 5.7 only beat her by about 10-15, yet his 2.8 beat her by about 7-8. I really doubt that's 350, then again the 5spd/305 G92 was just as quick. Not sure. Was his car running bad?

Kind of rough on your girl aren't you. I know when anyone thinks my car is slow, I just drop it into 1st, hit the gas slightl but quick, and let off, it'll jerk them back in the seat, something they're not used to.

 

My Grand Am has the same engine its a 2.4 twin cam. I know for a fact that I would kill any lightly modded/stock V6 third gen out there (excluding the :hail: TTA). And, my Grand Am is heavier then the Z24. I've never had my GA to the track, but it the numbers I've seen show it running low 16's. The lighter Z24 should run high 15's. I'm not saying you didn't beat her, but it wasn't because she had the slower car.

 

This past weekend at byron dragway I saw a newer style z24 w/ 5 spd beat down an 89 rs w/305. I was suprised and felt bad for mr. camaro.

 

Mr. Camaro don't know how to drive then, He should have whipped that Crapalier's ***. If my 2.8 could do it, Then his 305 can

 

I'd be quite suprised if your 2.8 could run a 15.4 1/4 mile.

 

Are you giving up your old name 85CamaroRulz? Man, if you see a girl across the street and she looks at you and runs inside terrified because you've got your hand down your pants staring at her, that doesn't mean she's your girlfriend. Why would you side with your "friend" Greg instead of your girl anyway, retard?

Sorry iroc.

 

Wait a minute here .... 2.8 running 15's ... girlfriend with a cavalier ... 'friend' with a 92 z28 ..... and mention of a dodge shadow .......

sounds frighteningly similar to someone else who posts here .... and said 'IM NEVER COMMING BACK!!!'

You dont by any chance own an astro van with air shocks in the rear do you?? LOL

:sillylol:

 

"and MY Greg absolutly demolished her"



i think that says it all right there boys, HIS Greg beat his girl friend, look how he sides with HIS Greg. Hmmmm. can you say Fruitcake?


85CamaroRulz (aka LaLa)




:lala:

 

You know as I started reading this post, I was like hold up. Just goes to prove the point that this kid is an even bigger idiot.
There's always a 92 Z 350 in the picture, never realized it was one of a kind 5spd.

 

I believe it was an Aerostar

 

sorry for diging this up but I cant get this outta my head "350 overhead valve engine," huh . need I say more, was he thinking OHV cuz if he waz then when did this happen, last I knew the cams were in block.

 

Could be a LT-5.....not probable, but possible.

 

true enough. I never even thought an lt5 would fit under the hood of a 3rd gen, I guess it could with a cowl.

 

OHV does not mean over head cam... I dunno what your point is

 

LT-5 is an ZR-1 engine i presume???
did they have one cam or two cams for each head???

 

This story is VERY familiar......It's always a 92 350 5 speed, 4 banger cavalier and a shadow ES. Very familiar indeed.

IC, it was brought back from the dead for some strange reason.

 

i believe the lt5 was a twin cam 32 valve not sure

 

for someone to list a "LeBra" car mask as a "mod" reminds me of gay ricers. :lala:

 

dude 85camarorulz..

235/75/15 BFGoodrich GT3 tires

that seems more like SUV tires to me...
????
isnt 235/75 is too much

ive heard of 235/60...

 

Yep, and you don't need a cowl induction hood. If they can fit it under the hood of a C4, it can fit under the hoot of a thirdgen.

 

Oh no....I don't mean to bash anyone, but...

 

pretty sure the lt5 had a quad cam set up...2 cams/head

 

wow... OHV and S/DOHC are 2 different engines... all chevy V-8s are OHV except for the LT5.. but thats not really all chevy... its half lotus. From the 283 to the LS1 all OHV engines... S/DOHC are what are mostly in imports and family cars that get fantastic gas milage... oh yea and in scumstangs to.. *** 4.6ick engine and did u hear!? there gunna stop production of the new '03 cobra because of mechanical falures... yea... like the whole f---kin car!... all that time spent on that car, and now, there all 3800lbs paper weights...
