Looks like a very nice car. I know this sounds like a stupid question but is that carlsbad,california?. You never know cause the name of my town is also in texas so i was just wondering. If he is willing to take it out to pomona,california and i can find a trailer,truck and catchcan i might be able to. Also in an earlier post some guys were talking about getting together down there so we can all meet up down there if anybody lives in southern california.

You're acting like you're proud of a car you don't even own, or even have seen in person. Probably because it's a J-Body...you know how annoying that is?

I have a video of a turbocharged Sentra, similar to mine, beating a 450RWHP '03 Cobra from a roll. I'm proud the Sentra won, and I'll use that vid to challenge anybody that questions the potential of the SR20 Sentras, but I sure as hell ain't playing internet cheerleader, challenging people online for some dude who I happened to see race online.

That Sunfire isn't a Cavalier, like yours, and you don't even know if he's running an Ecotec motor, so you even have less "claim" to comradery with that car, than me and another Sentra, with basically the same motor with a turbo.

It would've been fine, you just posting the vid to post it. But to try and get people to challenge him? What? So they can see that "J-Bodies can be fast too!"?

Nice car, and good job on the owner. Doesn't make your Cavalier-loving ass look any better though, ECO.

Hey i think you need to calm down a little, all the guy is trying to do is get a nice race setup and the good part is he is bringing it to the track and not an illegal race, which is one good thing. Im not trying to start any shit with you so dont take it like that but coming out and attacking somebody for just wanting to setup a race is a little shitty to me.

Looky here, n00b (both of you), before you go jumping into business you have no clue about, you need to back the fuck up and take account. How about you do a cross-post between his posts and mine. Hell, just go searching for his posts.

There's a reason why his posts are few and far-between around here, ya dig?

Ok i know you dont like me. Im just proud that j's can be fast. Ive met that guy several times now. And doesnt that track look a little familiar? Oh its because its firebird. There are reasons why my posts are few and far-between its because i have betterthings to do and sit on the computer and type all day, i usually dont have anything worthwhile to say anyways, so why post? I tried to set things straight with you and me, and i dont understand why you dont like me at all and bash on me when i post anything thats worth reading. Ive grown up, im not that stupid little kid anymore, why cant we just forget about the past and start over.

Then why are you still acting like J-Body cheerleader of the month?

Like I said, quit acting like a cheerleader. It's one of the things that have annoyed some of us about you, "Mr. I-beat-an-SRT4-by-4-cars-Cavaliers-are-the-shit."

How about you take your car for what it is, and quit pushing it's "potential" in our faces? ANY car can be made fast, and we never said that your car can't either. It's the fact that you can't accept that it's slow NOW, that's annoying.

Hmmm...is it possible for you to post without acting like your car's shit don't stink? When you can do that maybe we'll accept that you've grown up.

Dude, once he slaps a turbo on his ECOTEC Cavalier, he's going to whoop your ass, carrrnuttt... :rolleyes:

Ok i tried to make it so you wouldnt come back and get on my ass, i tried what can i say. Oh and before you call me a noob and say i dont know my shit i talked to ECOTC3 for about 15 min on AIM he told me all the stuff that has been going on, you need to watch what you fucking say i try not to come off with and attitude or be annoying or bitchy cause ive seen how people get flamed around here but you just cant stop being an asshole and saying people dont know there shit when the truth is your the one that doesnt know there shit :thefinger . So why dont you go take your opinions and your T/C sentra and shove them up your ass you little bitch.

LMFAO

15 minutes of talking to the guy on AIM, compares to months, even years of reading his posts how? Hell, I've met the guy in person!

BTW, it's one thing to use a profanity to lace your post, but a totally another to DIRECT it towards somebody. Since you are a n00b, I'll just assume you didn't realize that, and let it slide. Next time, you won't have an excuse.

Hell, I figured Mark Pawuk and Jeg Coughlin proved the ultimate potential of the J-body in NHRA Pro Stock competition. ;)

But in all seriousness, ECOT3C, the only reason you ever seem to post in here is to bring up some other guy's fast Sunfire/Cavalier. Now, we all can appreciate a fast car, but enough is fucking enough. Try adding something useful to the conversations, or try expanding your horizons beyond General Motors failed attempt at producing an inexpensive quality economy car to fight off the dominant sales of Japanese, European, and Korean compacts.

Seriously, it's not that difficult to say something useful or interesting now and again.

lol.....to bad the guy can't shift right.If he could shift better, he would have run a better time then 12.2.If you pay attention an listen there's almost a good second between shifts.They need a better drivier or just have him practice more.Plus his RT's don't seem that good except for the last run.

Think about this buddy, i can throw 3 grand toward my sisters civic an run low 13's.So 12's in a shops "race car" doesn't impress anybody.

This is why people mock "J-bodies", its because people like YOU ECOT3C continue to post, trying to justify the performance potential of your bone-stock Chevy Cavalier. All crs have performance potential, so stop distributing your J-body propaganda here, its almost as bad as spamming. I hoped that you would listen when all these mods say the same damn thing, that usually means they got a point to make.... :rolleyes:

"since my car isn't fast, i'm going to show you a fast one, as proof that these cars don't suck"

no one said they do (stock, yeah, that do but...)

we're not impressed.

so you get butt hurt when we tell you...

I dont like azsr anymore, i do visit everyonce in a long while to check out what ppl are selling and to ask a couple ppl if they can do services for me. Im sorry for what ive done. Nobody is perfect, nobody. People do make mistakes, but that still doesnt forgive what ive done. I hope someday you can forgive me. I have a lot of work to do on my self. But im trying as hard as i can to make my self a better person.

Hello to everyone.

I will start by saying I am sorry for this kind of a post. I am the owner of the car which you see in the video, I am the driver of the car as well. I will explain everything in this post so it will clear many things up.

Yesterday, I was IMed by the guy who started this post asking me if it would be okay with me to post videos of my race on another forum. I said sure, no problem at all just dont cause any problems. I never once said ito put up a subject like that nor to leave a open challange to others. In a way "calling" people out for a race just because I have a car that runs a litlte fast.

I have never bragged about my car nor will I start doing so today. Its pointless. I dont race my car to show others up I do it for my own good to see how far I can get with a car / engine.

I do apologies for a post like this because all it does is make "me" look like a jack@ss for no reason. I guess misunderstanding stuff can lead to stuff like this but nothing can be done about it now.... its done and over with.... if it offended anyone then again I am sorry.

Now for the car....

The car is running a 75 shot of nitrous on a built engine. The engine was NOT built to be a pure race car engine. It was built to be a daily driver. Hence why the compression is not as high as it could have been or why we are not using a stand alone computer or even fuel cell, so on and so on. During the middle of the build up after the engine was done I said I will just make it a race car..... by that time it was late to change the engine around so I just kept it the way it was and see what I could do with the car.

In the first video I missed 4th gear about 4 times . . . not sure what went wrong but I guess something did. As for the other runs I dont think the shifting was slow at all. I know my RTs were VERY slow that night but that was just my error no excuses at all.

I know you can invest 3000$ in a honda and make it go as fast if not faster. The point is I dont own a honda. Honda has had aftermarket parts for it for MUCH longer then a Cavalier or a Sunfire. Many parts on this car were custom made because no one makes the parts nor has put the time or effort to make parts like that. People think of a Cavalier/Sunfire and think its a POS car. To each there own. I just like working on them. I am sure with the correct amount of time or money you can make any car fast. Some faster then others, and some slower then others.

Anywho, I am not here to preach about cars. I am just here to say that this post was never meant to come out the way it did.

If you have questions or comments feel free to ask... but I dont know how offten I will be able to check back on this website.....

First of all, I would like to say that that was an excellent first post, and second, there was NO offense intended against you, and/or your car.

You can brag about your car all you want (within limits :)), since it is your accomplishment, and your hard work and money that is in that car.
