89 is actualy a 2nd gen, and the aluminum head 2.8l is 130hp 170ft/lb. the older v6 5 speed cars can run 15.8s dead stock with a good driver, even with high mialage, however most are in the 16.0 range. you would have smoked him, no doubt about that.
as for the cobalt being the new cavi, well, sort of. it did take over for the cavalier that had a 23 year run. technically speaking, the cavy is a j-platform, the cobalt is a delta chassis, nothing shared.
as i see it, he chickened out, so next time he trash talks, just tell him he didnt put up, so shut up. even for the hell of it, id tell him if he realy thinks its a slow pos that you will race him for bragging rights only.

guy at work: huh?
me: you heard me 100$ says your cavalier cant beat my cobalt
guy: thats just a new cavalier its exactly the same car
me: no actually there are no interchangable parts between the cobalt and the cavalier.
guy: come on man its the same car i bet the windows will fit.
me: im not lieing to you its a whole new car. i bet my SC wont fit your cavi
guy: man quit foolin there the same car.
me: you wanna race 100$
guy: idk man i feel bad taking your money
me: meet me at valero at 9:15 100$ winner takes all
guy: ok
anyway this guy drives a rusted 89 cavalier v6 and he says hes gonna be there i (doubt he'll show up tho)
ill let you kno how it goes should be fun maybe ill give him 4 cars or so to make it interesting.

I like people like you! Bet money before you even know when they drive...... Why bet money on slow ass cars anyway. Pointless.

Same here. What’s up with that? Man I went to check out some wheels that a friend of mind’s dad was selling, his dad was like oh that’s cavalier. Man I didn’t say nothing then he checked the back ether though the car said Cobalt he was that’s a cavalier. He was telling me that his 2002 2.0 Jetta was faster.

Wow all mighty. Whats the point of your post exactly? We were talking about taking advantage of someone with a real slow car who thinks its fast. If it makes you feel better thats like me running a 13.6 thinking I can beat a low 12 second SRT-4. I would not make a bet if I did not know I could pull it off. LOL whatever though. The funny thing is you did not see my new time slip but I'm not one to brag and act like you did in the previous post...

Man its fun to run for money, you’re an idiot if you know you can smash on some one and not put money on it. **** real racing is for money not just to run your car man. What’s the point in making your car fast if you can’t make a bet for some cash? Man. It’s a gamble, but gambling is fun.
