2004 Chevrolet Cavalier

About This Vehicle:

I've owned a few cavaliers before this one, all Z24's, and I've loved them all as daily drivers, never had the urge to do anything performance to them, until I got this one. There's something special about this one, I can't quite put my finger on it, but from day one it was a sleeper. I opted out of buying an SVT Focus (crapshoot!) for the Cavalier, I raced an SVT about a week after and totally dominated it even though it's lighter and has more hp! Shortly after I decided to dig up some info on "Emily", she's 1 of 500 built in Bowling Green during a Delco strike, she runs a few strange pieces, a standard Corvette TB, LSD, short-throw, SLP springs, and 4 wheel disc. It's super odd, but I love it!
