Default cavalier tried

I was on my way home from work today around 1. When i hear a loud wooooosh and look to my side and see a cavalier that looked to be a ecotec model. He threw me a rev and i threw a rev back. We poth punched it when the light turned green and he had some spin and me (I couldnt stop spinning for some reason) That alowed him to get a few cars on me, but when i stopped spinning i start to pull back and at 100mph i had 3cars on him. I signaled him to the nearest gas station. He said he had eagle rods and low compression pistons, fast engine managent, and a stage 3 turbo kit from hahn i think. I asked him to pop the hood and shure enough the car had the ecu anda fat turbo on the backside of the motor. I asked him what he does to srt-4's and he told me they aint ****

Awesome...did you happen to catch his name? I'm a former Cavalier owner and he's probably on j-body.org.

What city do you live in, and what car were you in?

They aint ****, eh? Sounds like something a ricer would say...

I imagine he was in the WS6, since I think that's his car. The Z28 is his brother's car, and the SS is his Girlfriend's car, I would assume, as that is what is stated in his sig...

Isn't modding a cavalier or honda for that matter much like polishing a turd? Even if you get you 16-17 sec car down to 13-14, you've spent thousands, and you still have a steaming, fresh, creamy pile of turd that can't run with V8's or the new faster rice. Maybe it's just me, but I don't get it. Good kill though man.
