The Cavalier I was talking about actually has 950 HP!!! and 650 lbs of Torque!!.


FWD CHEVROLET CAVALIER - A WHOLE LOTTA PERFORMANCE FROM THE ECOTEC 2.2L ENGINE
"Nearly 1,000 horsepower from a 2.2-liter engine." No, that's not a typo. That's the output of this special Ecotec engine. Yes, that's the same engine that powers the Chevrolet Cavalier, GM's best-selling model. No, you can't order one from your dealer.

This special Cavalier, on display at the 2002 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show, competes in the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) modified class. In race trim, this four-cylinder engine is equipped with a turbocharger and intercooler to achieve over 950 horsepower and 650 lbs.-ft. of torque. Power is transferred to the 28 x 11.5-inch front tires via a six-speed, sequential manual transmission.

The FWD Cavalier runs on methanol fuel and features a full-tube frame chassis, Penske triple-adjustable front and rear shocks and an independent rear suspension with a sophisticated rising-rate linkage to control the car's attitude under acceleration.

It also features carbon-fiber race brakes, a safety roll cage, six-point safety harness, a HANS device, a fire-suppression system and an independent witness crash recorder to record safety data in the event of an impact.

The FWD Chevrolet Cavalier's NHRA-approved full carbon-fiber body measures 47.5-inches tall, 68.7-inches wide, and is 202-inches long. It's finished in Tangelo Orange and Cinnamon Brown exterior paint with white pearl flames.

This beast is piloted by Nelson Hoyos, whose 2002 racing season accomplishments include four runner-up finishes at NHRA events in Englishtown, Houston, Dallas and Woodburn. He also ran a career-best elapsed time of 8.415 seconds in Dallas, where he ran in the quickest side-by-side FWD race, and ran a career-best speed of 175.16 mph in Houston.

SEMA participants are invited to attend a technical seminar on how to build a 1,000-horsepower Ecotec engine with parts developed by GM Racing. The seminar will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 6 from 8 a.m. until 9 a.m. in room n223-224.

CHEVROLET CAVALIER FWD DRAG RACER HIGHLIGHTS:

Ecotec 2.2L I-4
950-plus horsepower
650 lbs.-ft. torque
Six-speed sequential manual transmission
Methanol fuel
Full tube frame chassis
Penske triple adjustable front and rear shocks
Independent rear suspension
2001 NHRA-approved full carbon fiber body
Carbon-fiber race brakes
Safety roll cage and six-point harness belts and HANS device
Fire-suppression system and independent witness crash recorder
28 x 11.5-inch front drag race tires
25 x 4.5-inch rear drag tires
Tangelo Orange and Cinnamon Brown with white pearl flames

Ecotec is an engine that GM has been experimenting since the mid 90's in conjunction with Saab and Opel. The engine prove to be really good with lots of power at first but with a few months or a few years they started to malfunction the most common problem were with the distribuator, electrical and they would burn oil. Now the GM/Saab/Opel think that they have developed a long lasting engine.

This engine is in the Opel Speedster, the Saturn, Cavalier and I believe that Saab also has the engine in one of its line up.

I have a subscription to Import Tuner Magazine and they have articles on drag cars, mostly Honda/Acura cars. There was a CRX pushing over 700HP on race gas and then there was an Integra running mid 7's.

Running on meth? Blah, that shouldn't count. Let's talk regular pump gas. You could probably squeeze 1000 horsepower out of our engines...with a LOT of money...but you'd have to rebuild it often due to the amount of stress that would be put on the engine. In fact, you'd probably have to buy new engines pretty often.
