I've seen a berreta with a 4g63, a mid 80's chevelle with a 4g63, a g3 teg with a sohc 1.5, fb rx7 with a 305 and one with a 350. There are all kinds of swaps out there ppl do, why criticize? J-bodies could swap in the 3.8L sc motor that came in boneville's and work on that.

Another reason I say that J-body swaps are useless is because you never see a fast street driven J-body. Why don't you guys defending the J-body show us some popular swaps and the performance of the car after. If you did, maybe some of us would change our minds and attitudes towards those cars.

how the **** a cavalier is an abortion. its not a racers car period
and i understand you trying to make something unique by choosing a festiva. but just like you said. even if its fast its still a festiva and people would be calling you gay behind your back

I don't care, the only people that would call me gay behind my back are the ones who drive slow cars so their opinion doesn't matter anyway. Otherwise, every person who has seen the actual car really like it and the people that know what they are talking about appreciate the work that went into it.

then yes someone could say that then we should appreciate the work gone into a 10's cavalier.
but I would appreciate the time, effort and money that went into something like that, just like I appreciate the work B6T went to, to have a 12's (I think) Ford Fiesta. but I have not seen a 10's cav before. so I and others here can't appreciate that.
and yes, I too have called the cav. an abortion before, and I also think the fiesta is sort of an abortion too, but the diff is... stealths abortion doesn't run 12's does it?

The difference between the Festiva (not Fiesta) and a 10 second Cavalier is that my Festiva exists, whereas this 10 second Cavalier was just mentioned by someone and never proven to actually exist.

You're talking all this about my car, when you're the one whose driving the next worst thing. Know what the similarity between my car and your car is? They were both the cheapest car on the market when they were new... except the Festivas were actually retained their value because they lasted longer then 10 years because they didn't rot apart and that's a fact! I feel like a retard having to defend a Festiva but when it being compared to a J-body its a fair comparison. I never hyped my car up to be anything more then what it was... a POS with an engine swap and stiff suspension... you're the one whose blinded to the fact that your car is just as bad, having actually worked on both cars, I have proof to back this up this claim. You know nothing about the actual mechanics of your car, installing an intake and head unit is evidence of how much of an idiot you really are.

No, it's not fair... the Festiva has an engine swap and his car runs 16's.
How about he shows up at Cayuga and races me in my RX7? The RX7 only has 135hp, and his Z24 should have 150hp, so I'm giving him an advantage. My bet is that he'll out though because... well, he's a .
