1988 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America
"Better than my old one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
For the year of this car, it looks great, drives well, very good handling, find this model way better than the newer Z24.
Only thing I really don't like is the head gasket, mine is currently leaking prestone in the engine, very slowly. Is there something I can do to stop this rather than changing the heads?
General comments?
I think it's fast for the year it's been built. I would believe with a few mods, this thing would take on some newer cars on the 1/4 mile. But just the car like this stock, I doubt it, but it can keep up.
