Default Lookin to buy a Z-24 Cavalier

What do you guys think about them? I was looking at a 99 Z-24. I think they look good and I hear they have a nice pick up. Lemme know if you guys have any input about them, thanks.

Slow, bad build quality,girly!

Seriuosly if you want to race buy a v8 to start, if this is a daily driver buy a honda civic/ toyota corrolla.

I got a 01 Z24 its alright not the fastest but if you built it right you can be straight. Go to www.j-body.org they should answer all your questions. Everyone downgrades cause its a Cavi

All the Cavi's have same motor that the Sunfire has Z24 and Sunfire GT same thing diff body style. Mine hasnt had any problems and I run fine with most Honda's. If you are looking to hook it up for cheap then I would say go with a Honda it takes a bit more money to get these faster parts are more expensive. There is quite a few fast Cavi's thoe. If the car is cheap then buy it and swap with the 2.0 Ecotec supercharged engine thats got like 205hp have you running nice.
