Z24 that is...
2000, 2.4L DOHC Chevy Cavalier Z24, Automatic.

22,000 miles, bone stock, did nothing really tro prep just low gas. Stock tire pressures, and weight.

1st run
My girlfreind's 1st run ever down the 1/4 mile me in the car with her.

R/T 1.238
60' 2.360
330 6.935
1/8 10.675
mph 66.10
1000 13.905
1/4 16.662
mph 81.38

Car had no spin on the launch and seemed to take off pretty hard, I was expecting spin with no burnout or anything.

2nd run, girlfriend driving, me with her again.
R/T .509
60' 2.389
330 6.980
1/8 10.740
mph 65.79
1000 13.987
1/4 16.758
mph 80.90

She said the car felt a little sluggis, but sweet R/T though

3rd run, Was her first run by herself, and down the track.

R/T .282 DOH!
60' 2.417 She had some spin, guess my big *** helps the car hook better, she even launched it not as hard.
330 6.868
1/8 10.511
mph 67.70
1000 13.672
1/4 16.369 Big improvement with me getting out of the car, even with the spin at launch.
mph 83.49

4th run, now this is my first time down the track driving it, me by myself.

R/T .768(crappy but I told her my 3rd yellow thing and she said, thats what she did, on the redlight she got, so I thought maybe since I fethered more on my clutch, that the auto took off faster)
60' 2.327 (best one of night, teeny bit of spin)
330 6.825
1/8 10.507
mph 66.93
1000 14.704
1/4 16.433
mph 82.51


All and all not too bad, I was hoping for a 15.9, talking with a guy, that had a similar z24 with a 5-speed said his best near stock was a 16.2 with an intake, but he has done cams and other bolt ons running 15.3-.4s now.

I think the Cavalier with a nice 2.3 60' with my girlfriend driving could hit a 16.2, maybe better, dead stock, not bad for an auto 4 banger stock and the first time down the strip.

 

you mean it takes 1/4 of a mile to get up to highway speeds?

 

Wow, the Z24 and my Accord would be a good race! Look at the time in the sig I've got a K&N and new spark plugs(needed them bad) now so it should knock off a couple tenths. Maybe we can get a race going sometime :P

 

U all need to challenge John and his 3.8... He is very close to you guys... He runs 16.2 all the time..

 

Hehe maybe we can set up some races, if the girlfriend is willing of course.

I coudl tweak some tire pressure, open up the intake a little.

 

A 5-speed would be a good bit quicker I think.

 

Yeah my girlfriend actually wanted a 5-speed, she found a newer z24, with less miles for the same price, fully loaded but a 5-speed, but her dad really bitched at her about it, so she went with this auto.

stll peppy though, I bet it would have been a bitch to launch a 5-speed.


If we ever take it back I goign to try some launches with traction control on and see what happens.

 

So what's going on with the Camaro? I've been waiting to hear from you about picking it up........
