^^ Hahaha, the problem with a a cavalier is though...is it's HEAVY AS HELL....I think around like 3400lbs heavy. Holy hell, a G35 and other LUXURY cars weigh that much and have a huge V8 or V6 in there with tons of other leather heavy interior crap.....

Been there, done that.

Also, that rear suspension SUCKS. He'll have ALOT of catching up to do to match what the beetle has to offer.

I would also like to see where an ECU gives 30HP on a stock motor. Not to burst your bubble, but those HP numbers are a bit inflated. It's a great motor, sure, but meh, There's better performance out there for less money. Yeah, the motor is cheap, but the fact you have to fabricate to get it in, just so you have 140HP of electrical GM headaches, is not worth it to me. You have to spend another $1500 on fabrications to get 140HP...then on top of that, the mods to get the motor in the high HP area....not worth it. In the end you just spent a ton of money when you coulda got either a Type 4, a Porsche conversion, or a Subaru conversion.....started out with a higher BASE HP and a bigger aftermarket. And well, you'de end up spending all that money on fab, why not get something that works out better in the long-run...


....I dunno, I don't think I'de want a GM product in my dub...
