Radiator blew out at 326,000kms.
CV-joints failed at 345,000kms.
The car (1990 cavalier Z24 3.1L V6) is a beast of a sport compact. It has many cars on it's hit-list:
1991 Eagle Talon turbo
Probe GT
Asuna Sunfire RS, GT
1984 Toyota tercel (was joking around when racing a friend of mine.)
I have never lost to a Honda save an S2000
Never lost to a Nissan save 350zs (I've only ever beaten one, she stalled at the beginning.
The car handles as if it were glued to the ground, surprisingly little tire squeal at 75+ Kmh, once the wider tires were put on, and the 3.8L installed (buick engine) it's been my dream car.
How many kilometers did you put on the car before you had to change the engine (that's if you did it)?
Hmmm You seem to be an awesome driver if your 8+ second 0-60 car can take a Talon that runs it in 6.3 seconds or a Nissan Maxima or Altima 3.5 that does it in around 6 flat. Don't confuse beating someone in a race with them not really caring to race you. I've looked the other way many times rather than racing guys with cars that were way slower than mine (waste of time and gas). I bet they thought they were beating me in a race too. Keep dreaming.
With some mods and maybe some new rubber maybe its faster then 8 seconds to 60???
You can "mod" it all you want, but the problem would then be tourque steer. You'd never be able to keep it in a straight line with enough power to pull a 6 second 0-60 time. Just go buy a REAL muscle car if you want to go that fast!!
