From M45 Z24 to '08 SS/TC

Don't think I have ever really introduced myself on here...or even post yet for that matter. But as some of you know (from JBO), I went from a 2000 Bright Red Z24...


Which was totaled when I fell asleep in Dec. 2006. The kit and motor and interior were swapped out into a 2000 black Z24. Which ended up like this, as it sits today.



And just this past Monday, have moved to this.







Feels like a night a day difference between GM's former sport compact and new record setting tuner car.

Forgot to mention that the hood on the black Z24 is just an OEM carbon fiber hood. It was already on it when I bought it. A buddy of mine took the picture and did a little editing to get the whole 'see thru hood' effect.

It looks like a Eaton M45, hense the M45 Cavalier in the title.

Which is faster? (I think i know the answer)

The SS is definitely faster...and I have not even ran it up past 5k rpms yet! I still enjoy the M45 equipped Cavalier too though.

Yep...still got the black one...and what's left of the red one is sitting in the back yard. I'm using the doors and fenders for target practice.

Thanks for all the comments guys!

Very nice upgrade! The Cobalt is way better than the old Cavies. But that can be said for most every car that replaces its predesessor.

Without a doubt! I love(d) both of my Cavaliers and still drive mine, but for an every day thing...it's pointless! The Cobalt is LEAPS and BOUNDS better than the Cavalier.

Cant beleive I'm bumping this post but I just started looking back on this site....forgot my old password (dont have the email I originally signed up with either).

Man...i had so many plans for this car but 180,000 miles later and the only thing that was ever done was the GMPP Stage 1 kit.

It's been a great daily driver though!
