2 days in and i already have a list

[00 Silver 6]

I got my car yesterday at noon, and ive been getting races all weekend. ive taken a modded 96 maxima by 4 cars, a stick mustang GT 5.0 by 1 1/2, a newer BMW Z4 by like 3 cars (some chick trying to mess with me), a cavalier by more than i could count, this tool in an audi 1.8t by alot (was more worried about cops than counting the gap, an 01 mustang V6 from a 50 mph roll.... and finally earlier today a riced out 3rd gen eclipse (i guess all those a-pillar gauges and painted shiny blue panels didnt give him any more power)... over all im in love with the car, i havent met a person yet who isnt impressed by it and im proud to be a new camaro owner!

i was surprised too, it was some girl, probably around 17 driving it. it was stick, and she seemed to have alot of trouble with the shifts... probably dad's car or something, still felt good though

Not to be negative... but it sounds like you won't have this car for long.

haha im with shril...watch out for those Blues and stay away from crowded roads...u might wanna calm it down a bit buddy

Is your car a stick or an auto?

I see your in Chicago, what streets was this on or was it outside the city?

The mustang gt is definitely a good kill, the maxima by 4 cars is too. I'm not sure how fast the 1.8T is. I think we all know the cavalier isn't even worth the gas.

Especially with this car crash curse going around [img]redface.gif[/img]

Caviliers aren't worth the gas? I believe there has been an on going debate over on Jbody.org about the comparison of them to V6 f-bodies. From everything i read, there are some models of those that will hang with and possibly beat teh V6. But of course, thats comparing the top of the line model to the base model...

Maybe a Z24...

Seems like you think every economy car is fast. I've raced against cavaliers either in the camaro or my mom's car and they are slower then a mofo. The newest generation too. I raced an old one with the 3.1, and it was no contest either but I think it out up more of a fight then the newest four bangers.

Whose comparing a car that needs almost 10 sec to get to 60 and runs 17sec 1/4mile to a fbody? That's the newest one and fastest model too. The newest ones with the base 2.2 run 18sec 1/4 and 11.5 0-60. Last I checked that was slow as ****.

You're right about neons being relatively fast for what they are, but not cavaliers.

Next you'll say is that a geo metro is fast as hell too.

My bone stock 1997 Z24 Cavalier did 15.6's with the front tires spinning... :D it felt quicker and more agile than my RS (when it was stock). Now I have the option of getting rid of it for another commuter car and I don't want to. I'm having trouble parting with it...it's just such a good, well-rounded vehicle.

You're kidding right? I'm looking at a car and driver test of a 1998 cavalier z24 and they're saying 8.7 0-60 16.8 1/4 mile. Now they have professional drivers and post the best numbers. Can you tell me how in the hell you go from 16.8 to mid 15s?

All I know is it will be a sad, sad day when I get beat by a pos economy car. I mean I'm sacrificing trunk and rear space because this is supposedly a sports car, man I don't think I could stomach a loss to a cavalier.

I'm pretty sure she is a good driver.

Magazine times =/ real world numbers. I mean one of the magazines said the SRT-4 only ran like high 14's. IIRC one magazine also said the LS1 only did mid 14's [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

I generally would say most of the times magazines can be off by as much as 1 second from real world numbers.

Sorry, but I don't think every ****ing economy car is fast, I'm just being factual with actual experience. So next time you try to own someone, maybe you should do some research. Oh wait, I forgot you did, magazine numbers... [img]graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img] Bench racing

[odw777]

I am basing this on real world experience. I raced against cavaliers and based my view of them from that.

Magazine numbers are a good way to judge a car's performance. I mean the car (or often a group of cars)is driven by a professional driver numerous times and the best times are reported. If they have an auto they torque brake and find the best launch rpm.

That's how I know roughly which cars I can or can't take, if something's significantly faster then my car then I'm not going to race it obviously.

I'm not going to see what each car runs in real life, at least with magazine numbers you get some idea.
