No kidding. did you not read my post directly above yours, posted nearly an hour before yours?
And to think.. this whole thread got way out of hand when I simply stated that I considered my wife's Saturn to be a "factory freak" because it could almost keep up with my SVTC in the 1/4.  It wasn't typed in an effort to praise the L series, merely to show that some examples of a particular car are faster than others. The only stat I've ever seen for a '00 LS2 1/4 mi. was 16.1. And I can't even find that now..

Blk560, I would like to apologize. I got you and Blackbirdracing mixed. I thought you had the Saturn and, naturally, were defending them. Sorry about the confusion. Now that that is said, I'm done with this post unless something more interesting comes up, like Demon going turbo powa!!

To your first comment, thank you, I appreciate that, and to the repost stuff.. my bad. This thread had me on the defensive big time. I saw an opportunity, and pounced.

Demon,
1. You have a 3L SVT that is low compression because there is a turbo huffing positive pressure into that intake, correct? I know you just forgot to mention the hairdryer under the hood. 
2. Your 2.5L with just bolt-ons was a second faster. How many bolt ons? LOL. One second?
3. (or, more easily, any iteration of the Cavalier), and if that driver isn't at the VERY top of their game, she can take them. While sipping on her latte'. 
4. Or the fact that the fit & finish puts the Ford's to shame. Or the cupholders you don't have to MODIFY to get them to hold cups. Or the better safety ratings.
5. It's just threads like these that make me realize how closed-minded people are.
1. I sure wish I did!
Also then I'd be embarrassed by only 13.9's at nearly 102 instead of proud of it.
2. 14.6x @ 95 vs 16 flat @ 87 None of my times are corrected and our track is bad. The 16 flat @ 87 is corrected.
Yes I had a lot of bolt ons by that point.
3. The wife's Cavalier is an ATX and it would probably hit high 15's. (stock is 16-16.2 @ 87) Hence the comparison.
That's just 2.4 liters of 4-banger power to boot.
4. Oh yeah the fit and finish of plastic body panels. I won't argue looks as either one of us could not likely convince the other. 'nuff said.
5. It has nothing to do with that. Mainly it had to do with the statement a 16 @ 87 car could beat or equal a 15.2 @ 91 car.
Yes out of the hole both may be side by side. After the 1-2 shift the race would be over though.

I beg to differ.
Dave never ran 13's.
14.0x at 98.9mph
So I have him on ET by just a hair, but a lot on trap speed and that's priceless.

Either way Greg, you and David both have something to be proud of!
