1999 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America

"A Cheap ROCKET!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The suspension is to high, it ruins all the sports look of the Z24. I can enter a complete fist between the right tire and the car. (that's more like a stylish problem)

A weird noise coming from the transmission at 30-40 kph. (nothing important)

The floor mat stick under the clutch pedal after 3/4 days of driving, making it hard to pull out (the clutch).

Quite non-original plain dashboard and steering wheel.

The hand-brake handle is very badly placed.

The car speed is limited to 172 kph : (

General comments?

Since my engine is stock, I can really tell that this is quite a little rocket. I've beaten a lot of cars with it such as Sebrings LXi, Civics, GSR, '92 5.0l, etc..

Would be way more fun to drive with a supercharger tough...

The stock suspension gives good handling, but not enough for me. That's why I dropped it 2" with GoldLine Springs, which gives me a lot more better handling.

I always fueled it with 91 octane Supreme Fuel.

It has 150 HP at the wheels and 150lbs of torque.
