GM produces Toyota Cavalier's in the US and ships them to Japan. Toyota Designed that body style of the cavalier and sold it to GM i nthe mid 90's if I remember correctly.

the cavaliers use an ecotec engine. Supposedly it can be a pretty stout engine, but havent really looked too much into it.

they dont use ecotecs... they were sold from mid 95 to 98 i think, and they used the 2.3 quad four and 2.4 twin cam four cyliners. they decided against the 2.2 because pushrod engines all but dissappeared from domestic passenger cars by then...
-------------------- Car #3: 98 Accord LX- purchased 5/06, totaled 8/06
Car #2: 95 Celica GT- purchased 8/03, current daily driver Car #1: 01 Focus ZX3- purchased 5/01, sold 8/03 |

I know somebody that had the 2.3 quadcam in his sunfire. All he had was an intake and that thing was a rocket. He beat a porsche boxter one night. He only lost by 1 car to a 97+ H22 prelude. But last night he totaled it.

[right][snapback]220760[/snapback][/right] I'm gonna go ahead and call BS on that. a cavalier/sunfire with basic mods is at best a high 15 second car. a boxster runs high 14s completely stock .. maybe a freak from factory |
