Engine is around 325hp on current setup. Gm published this car with the original 2.8L v6 would weigh 2519lbs this car weighs 2635lbs w/o a driver. Previous setup the car was a low 13/high 12 sec car. Should be a mid to low 12s car now.

Car is in SW Michigan. I have barely scratched the surface for the potential of the L67. I believe this to be the finest example of a first gen square body Cavalier in existence. This car drives straight, has exceptional power, puts out over double what the car ever came with, is a conversation piece and has performance like a new Honda or Subaru
