yes, the cavalier weighs 2600 lbs. in stock form...even with 200 something shot. which would be on perfect bottle pressure, the 2.2 ohv is VERY unefficent and an all around shitty motor. why do u think its the base model? and no longer produced. it puts out maybe 80-90 hp to the wheels stock. so even if he was putting the same power at a perfect bottle pressure as i do at 15 psi, im lighter by far and still have the ability to up it up to 21 psi with a little race fuel. <~~~ bench racing. heh regardless...i do believe i said i'd run him. but if u would read instead of assuming u would see i work 6 days a week in december due to the type of job im in.
