cavalier z24 vs camaro?
my friend with his 90 cavalier z24 with a 3.1 turbo (swapped) and a 5 speed, thinks he can beat my 350 v8 camaro sport coupe with aproxx. 300 hp and 350 ft. lbs. of torque.
his cavalier weighs about 2900 pounds and my car weighs about 3500

That may be close. I know those 3.1 cavy's are quick to start with. Especially the rare 5 spd ones. Well if he has about 250 hp or so you guys are just about equal in the power to weight ratio. Your best bet is to run him from a stop. You have the flatter power curve but if he is spooling from a roll it will be very close.

I used to own a 1990 Z-24 With 3.1 V-6 (for about 2 weeks). that was a very fun car while it lasted. It had an amazing amount of torque off the line. But uip top it lacked a little bit. I think it might be a good race.

Well if your opinion is he is a bad driver that could also factor in his skills vs yours. Good luck...Any guess on when this race should postpone to?

Maybe its the torque #s that are throwing me off. What type of intake? Is that a carbed car? Shouldn't his Tq have gone up a bit more with that much HP?
