The Cavalier was a full race car driven by a much more experienced driver. Not sure who actually owns the car... they said it was rented? Also not sure how it was prepped. Looked like a 2.4 Ecotec, she said it didn't make any power below 5k, so it surely wasn't stock. Interior was gutted, side and rear windows were Lexan, etc.
Definitely not your typical Cavalier.

I got a good laugh when they told me they lost to a girl in a cavalier.

The car was an ex mototola (speedvision) world challenge car.
Built by WTF engineering, Who were a group of GM engineers.
and had we been a little more aware in the begining of the event we would have dominated this car.

How was the GSC supra 
I want to do this man, looks so exciting.
Im close too, that supra was scary stock, and it managed alright, esp. considering some of its competition/cost!

They Did well, first in Small Bore class and 3rd overall if I recall. The mistake many people make is thinking this event is all about horsepower. It's about longevity, and relialbility. and except for a clutch problem I think they did well. Anyone can Make Gobs of power, but have it streetable and reliable for 16 races and 5000 street miles is a diffrent thing.

Congrats. That's a darn fine performance for a first-year effort. Probably want to give it a few weeks to sink in, but right now how are you feeling about a repeat next year?
