I'd love to know why they would put an Optima Yellow top up there!! Does the car draw so much power that they need that HEAVY, deep cycle battery in the worst place they could put it??!!! I have nothing against the battery; hell I'll be adding one shortly, but I also have a system, and will also be running my fans and electric waterpump when the car is off at the track for extra cooling.

 

Otherwise, its all fine and dandy I guess, but its sad that manufacturers are are focusing on damn 4 banger race cars. Because that Cavalier has about as much in common as the one running in Funny Car.

GM is planning to release that engine in several car lines by the 2004 model year. They are even pairing it with a "low boost" supercharger as a stock set-up at 180hp. It should be easily upgraded with bolt-ons to near 250hp, more with spray.

 

A 2700 pound FWD car with 250 hp. Hmmmmmm??
