Need a car...not an elantra though

[getfuzzd]

Found this Cavalier (http://www.mantapart.com/cavroad.html), and if i had the 15 grand i would get it myself keep it street legal and paint it black. Make it an ultimate sleeper.

I had a cavalier b4 my elantra. Considering GM sponsored an ihra or nhra team at one point and made 850HP on an ecotec block. P.S. I hate the look of the front end of this year of cav, but with all the mods done to it you have to look at the possibilities.

If you're looking for a little sporty FWD car in that class... I'd suggest the Protege. Mazda builds their chassis and tunes their suspensions so nicely from the factory it's really a nice place to start. Then there's the Mazdaspeed Protege to borrow technology from, and the potential to turbocharge it.

Ugh, this talk about Cavi's reminds me of this one kid's in school. It started out looking ok, a plain white cavi, but now it looks so fugly I almost threw up today. White caviler, with a ugly whale tail on the back (unpainted), a really weird *** exhaust thats loud and annoying, and then he has these giant APC stickers on each side, and on the back, along with Summit racing stickers... I wish I had a camera to show you how bad... theres so many bad looking cars out here.

but stickers and a big tail are the best way to make a car really fast...... they're not rice at all..... :rolleyes:
