- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- A whole bunch of street racing from smack dab in the middle of the midwest. Z06, Camaro's, a crazy turbo Cavalier, an Evo & STi, and 700hp S2000 battle it out on he streets.

Oh that cavalier has some balls to even play with a z06. Dude's insane.
Had a '90 Z24 that I loved. Served me for 6 years and 102K after replacing a clutch, alternator, catalytic converter and wiper motor (thinking I'm glad I had manual windows or would have replaced those as well). The 3.1L V6 was a solid engine, wished it had disc brakes all around, but for $12K in 1990, great value for the money.
That Z24 definitely makes my top-5-list for sleepers!
My mom and dad had the z24 cavy back when I was about 5. Brings back memories except the rents didn't have a roll cage, a massive turbo, or a fuel cell in the trunk lol
Tinted windows so the police can't see the cage. Thats a real sleeper
that Cavalier is the ultimate sleeper sounds amazing too.
I think it's stupid to bad mouth a cavalier or any car that has been modified just because you don't like it! Like people who love ferrari and Lamborghini, and think ALL AMERICAN CARS are junk! Should we take their advice as well! Drive what you love and modify what you want and stop hating! After all.....someone may think your ride is JUNK!!! Who would be more right?!
I agree. And actually american cars are way more reliable than alotta cars. Anybody that don't believe me should buy a vw
+Brandon Hackbarth volts wagon is a German brand...
+Brandon Hackbarth Hell yea lmao i have a Jetta and it's always having trouble codes and issues
I also own a vw 1.8t and its been good to me. But i bought a passat previously and it was a nightmare. Brake issues. Water pump. All the control arms at once. Cant hardly drive european cars over a pothole w
that red z28 with the turbo 350 transmission is pretty nice, that trans made one hell of a difference
I love those Cavaliers. That is sick. Much more respect for a build than something bought.
Mad respect to that Cavalier!
that cavalier pulled on the s2k .insane! great stuff
That Cavalier is kick ass!!!! Sleepers are awesome!
Damn little Cavalier. Now that was awesome!
such a beautiful sound on the red ss. so raw
I love this video and would like to see more races with the cavy.
Same here.
I miss my Cavalier and this one is Badass!
I love how I just watched the owner of the cavalier run in the track in the video before this, but his face is blurred out in this video haha. But with that said I LOVE this build man! I always loved the Berretas I think they were Z24 or something along those lines and they were quick! The probe gt, Celtics gts. Loved all those cars from my childhood. Cool to see such a common daily built to tear apart other beast cars
man lol that Z24 is fast. wish mine was that fast. i got a 90 z24
Thatguywithswords spend about $10K or more on the motor and transmission and yours too can be fast.
+Black Majik ten grand is way off. That motor is a 3.5 liter from any GM car from 2005 and up. Any 60 degree V6 has the same bolt pattern, and hooks up to the same transmission at 1985-1994 V6 cavaliers, you'll have to modify motor mounts (machine shops will do it for 180). The headers, bigger fuel injectors, turbocharged, and what ever you choose. A 3.5 has 200 + hp stock. When modified I've seen them push close to 400. Now in a cavalier that weighs 2400 lbs...oh boy! The stock ones were pretty quick, and a 3.5 from a scrap yard will run 500-1k is a steal. But ten grand nope. Check out V6Z24.com
I have an 88 z24 it a POS, but I do love the body style
I got a 92 Z24 Cav, fun little thing and man I wish she had the same speed.. Just got her running after months of work and road testing, looking into getting all the little kinks worked out and some light tuning/performance. Any tips anyone?
@@Flora-L1 get a 3100 out of like a 2003 Buick century or something. Go to summit racing and buy a cam kit. I almost bought a cavalier..if I had the money..that already had that done to it. It was a 5 speed that would pull HARD in every gear. The tires would spin too.
Love to see someone with a car like this compete. Coming from someone who can't afford an corvette :(. You guys had some awesome runs :). Love your videos by the way Houston bound in September hopefully!!!!
my brothers 89 Z24 would do 0-60 in 7.5 seconds... thats pretty damn quick for a v6 of that time.
z28 with a v6 lol..............gay
Shawn Hall z28 is LS1. He said z24, he's talking about the cavalier. idiot
pwnall1337 I WAS WONDEIRNG WHAT THAT GUY WAS GOING ON ABOUT! 0.o
Thanks for clearing that up lol
Shawn Hall There are some videos on here of an old bluish green Z28 with a turbo six. It is a beast. Uncommon is more interesting than the common sometimes....
The Z24 with 2.8 (later 3.1) of that time had a nice torque curve and the car was quite light. Chevrolet did things like a fiberglass hood on that car to lighten it up. The stock exhaust even had a nice note. The Z24 of that time period seemed better built, roomier, and more comfortable than those of the last generation before the Cobalt replaced it.
A video with the Z24 details!! What is the swaped engine? a 3400? and the turbo! God, is insane
I watched this vid like 10 times just because the Cavalier's engine looks so bad ass and perfectly set up for perfection.
Great vids bro! Loving that cavy.... gotta appreciate someone being different, whether its in your personal taste or not.
Those Camaros sound beautiful.
Props to the skill-Cavalier!
Damn had a blue z24 1989. I miss it alot
So doesn't the 80's might just want to keep it there LOL
what's up with the shifting in the red ss? weird gear ratio or?
Great video a lot of badass cars in there, the white Camaro sounded sick!
Needs more Cavalier
i love cavaliers!
rayuo
i still have a 91 RS convertible, awesome little car. it's super clean little to no rust, it came from florida and i have never put it through a winter. unfortunately a deer decided to run into it. it could use a front fender, before that it was a near 10. im going to get another fender for it....... i also have a 1996 camaro Z28 LT1. i love my old school chevys
Weslie Global me too girl.... sad part is trying to find one that’s not completely rotted out on the underside of the frame.
I love Cavalier 85, 86, 87, 88 and 92, is my year favorite
hahaha, im a all around GM guy n i think its awesome when a regular looking cavalier keeps up to a Z06 xD dig both cars tohugh
another awesome street racing video. great job guys
My buddies mom had one back in the day it was a manual, he would steal it when she was not home and joy ride it, he told me it was supercharged but it was just a power steering whine 🤣
that Cavalier would seriously sleep&sweep every where I have been...dope as hell!
thanks buddy! :)
I want to see more of that cavalier.. swapped?
Nice Cars!
i want that cavalier setup in my beretta!!!!
What an awesome video!!! Loved it!!!
that's one hard pulling sleeper (turbo cavalier)
Got to love it when the chase car has to let off during the STi and EVO race.
Is this in Iowa? Im in northern IL... Id like to see that Cavalier in person
love that Cavalier
nice CAVY!! And S2K
this man LITERALLY laughs at every single thing
looked like a freaking t4 size turbo in that Cavalier it was HUGE for a 2.4L. The cage is required at the track if you run certain times. That thing was NOT stock it was built and makes a GREAT sleeper!
Oh my god excluding it's body style, I've seen this identical setup on a cavalier here in Canada, that's funny.
Nice street racing in Omaha, Nebraska!
VTEC YO, gotta respect that, one of the best 4 cyl made
My First car was a 88 Z24 ....And I have to say it was a really capable car!!! I plan to own one again some day...Would Love to see a Rear drive / Ls Swap in one!!
Yea, that's exactly how that Cavy is. Pulling up along side it at a red, you'd never know until the light went green and he wrecked you. That Cavalier is a perfect example of a sleeper
Fastest Cavalier I ever seen!!!!!!
Love the cavalier... Total sleeper...
Those camaros shifting 😍😍😍
That car totally had me fooled, I hope I never run into him?
I imagine it was expensive, but what camera was used for 330 and the next few scenes? It has an amazing low light ability.
I would like to know more about that Cavalier ... like what parts were used. I had an 88 Beretta with the 2.8 as my first car and always wanted to make it haul ass. I never could find any "Performance" parts though, but I also didnt know nearly what I do now, that was half my life ago
+Black Majik Engine swaps are the only way. Either a 3400 or a 3800 SC/TC.
+2dfx that is either a 3400 with an LX9 top swap (heads, and intake manifold) or a full on LX9
Grant MacPhee I have to ask, why an LX9? They're not that powerful stock. If I had to choose between say, a stock LX9 vs a stock L67, I'm taking the L67. More aftermarket, more power, more reliable, no?
+2dfx simplicity of swap is 1 factor. That car can still use the stock harness and computer for both 3400 and Lx9. Lx9 also come with stock forged bottom end.
What a sleeper!
YES,but it is not always about that..it is about keeping our love for racing alive,and the spirit of building what you have and earning respect by winning races...this is the pure soul of what hot rodding is man...don't you think those old fords back in the day were pretty shitty? bUT WHO CARES,THEY HAD FUN!
Both Camaro's sounded amazing.
I'm still waiting to see a Busa vs Fiero!!!! lol -jk great video! fast cavy!
Stats on the Z24?
yep it's a cav z24 my hubby used to have one ..fast as shit even factory
Fast like 130 horsepower fast? You might want to redefine what fast is. My Honda Accord would smoke any stock shitbox chevy cavalier.
Mike Name the 3.1 was 180 hp at the crank and it was a little fast and sure your 260 hp accord would
Obviously some people would argue otherwise, but they don't consider what other companies were doing factory stock in the same model year at that price bracket. Sure it might not hold up to a direct-injected naturally aspirated 2013 V6 Accord or Camry (making something like an amaze-balls 23 short of 300 stock), but compared to a Honda or Toyota of the early 1990's it honestly didn't suck at all in terms of performance. There was the 3.1L V6 and the other option was the HO Quad-4 that was on par with early VTEC performance. (But with the trade-off of a lopey idle vs. the regular variant because no variable cam thing going on.) And either of those GM engines had 180HP from the factory and a mild NA tune could put them in low 200s.
The only thing that sucked with GM cars from back then is that if it wasn't a V8 you only had one or two aftermarket companies to find any bolt-on mods from. Thus almost everything had to be custom fabricated and tuned, so it's like challenge mode vs. a Honda where you had a dozen companies to buy tuner kit parts that go right on out of a box with instructions. It takes more of a die-hard approach and learning stuff like welding and figuring out your own fuel and timing tables from scratch if you were willing to start throwing money at it.
For those of you who says my honda can outrun the chevy, you need to keep in mind your cars are probably newer, and newer has more power than the older cars do, so it's not going to take a genius to figure out that a car with more power and torque will outrun a car with less power and torque.
Now to put things on a much more similar scale, if you take a stock 1990 Cavalier Z24 with automatic transmission vs stock 1990 accord with automatic transmission, the outcome would be either one of these : The Chevy pulls ahead of the accord, or they both are at neck to neck or nose to nose.
@@pauljs75 : Thank You.
where I ken buy the same engine you have on the cavalier
What heads and cam are in that red ss? Sounds badass
that cavalier was the most impressive i wanna see more of that shit was that the 2.8 or 3.1?
1320 video just shot this very same Cavalier at a no prep that raced the Dodge Omni. 5 years it's been since it was seen. That's crazy.
That Cavalier all the way 👍👍👍👍
awesome cars back in the day
The guy at the end with the glasses, was he on the Street Racing Vol 2 DVD?
lol vomg I love that Cavalier Id totally drive it
What was up with the TH350 camaro cutting in and out. Was it hitting the limiter?
I was wondering the same thing.. I used to have a T-bird that would do that just before it hit the redline. I never figured out what it was until the day I scrapped it. Thought it was the EGR, injectors, fuel issues.. Wasn't any of em.
i want to know the motor work on the cavalier. I have a 94 same body style.
GM 3500 Gen III 60* v6 from the looks of that intake.
Think it's stock?
The 3400 Swap was a common, back in the old days.
I have seen some did the 3.5L swaps into the Cavalier.
I have seen the naturally aspirated 3800 and the 3800 supercharged and the custom turbo 3800 set ups as well. ( I have not seen the Grand National motor setup, which is the stocl 3.8L Turbo setup )
The 3800 swap is not easy, needs to modify body parts under the hood bay area.
The 3400 and the 3500 is easier to do, with the Cavalier.
can you please get some more video of that s2k? it's sick
Need specs and info on that cavalier like to know what motor and trans and what's done to the motor need some info here
Midwest? I live in Northern Illinois I wonder what part of the midwest these vids are taken from?
I gotta say, that Cavalier is pretty bad ass!!!
You guys at 1320 have the most fun ever!
Loving the cavalier. . Have one myself. . What motor did you put in there
Looks like either the 3400 or the 3800 Series I/II V6
darkblaze176 Not a 3800, they look and are completely different.
The engine in the Cavalier is either a 3500, or a 3400 with a 3500 (gen 3 60 degree V6s) upper intake. There's an extremely remote possibility that it's a 3.1 (gen 2) bottom end with a 3400 top end and 3500 upper intake manifold. With the ease of swapping in the gen 3, the last option is unlikely.
Cav and S2K are nuts.
Thanks
What kind of work done to that cavalier? That's impressive for a V6.
Finally a video with some 4th gens. I'd like to see some more with serious power though.
The Camarillo with the nitrous sounded like it had a miss closer to top end
Was this taken on 480 In Omaha, Nedraska???? Great video by the way awesome cars thumbs up!!!
I liked it for the Cavalier lol!
what camera and mic do you use? the quality of both is very good
@MrUnknownnone, actually at 1:52 he's hitting the brakes. At 1:46 he starts pulling. And it doesn't matter how long it takes, he was still ahead when they both shut down. Winning is winning.
Was that Curtis Walkers old turbo z24?
That Cav!
2:49
That was so unexpected. I laughed so hard.
That TH350 in that red SS camaro was juuuuuuunk!
What's with the close gear ratios on the Z28 at 4:00?
Car/Race show at a gas station, it's the American way! Nice cars guys:D
I had a 89 z24, loved the car but it ended up wrecked under my buddies pickup. Still sitting in my yard waiting to be fixed lol
Sam Hutchins I just got my grandfather's 89 needs body work she's a little rusted but happy to have it.
Is that a quad four in the cavalier?
People love to talk shit on Cavalier's including myself. But years ago I had one with a 3800 SC from a Bonneville SSEI we swapped in and before we even modded it I ran 12.94 @112 mph. It was a junkyard special from my uncles yard. But the Cav was too clean to scrap and when done it hurt a LOT of feelings. We did a pulley for more boost, ZZP headers, tune and some other bolt on's like intake spacers and injectors etc. We spent just under a grand on parts and while it doesn't sound like much it did 334 whp on pump and 349 with meth and ran a best of 11.27 @ 124 mph before we sold it. The kid we sold it to put nitrous on it and got into the 10's before the trans let go and in the early 2k's that was moving. But they are light cars so it doesn't take much to wake them up.
So the corvette is Kyle driving right?
I WANT TO SEE MORE OF THAT CAVALIER!!!!
