I could have a turbo honda.. I'd like one, but it'd get stolen in 2 second around here... you'd lock the car turnaround and it'd be gone.. no on screws with a turbo cavalier LOL....

the getrag has short gears compared to the isuzu trans, the isuzu trans is junk compared to the getrag, whioch is why you don't think so because the isuzu is notchy and hard and has longer gears, and 2700 lbs isn't overweight...
Jeff Filkins runs a 12.58 at 14 psi
Suncavi, Jasmin (bosnian reason for girl like name lol) runs a 12.4 on 13 psi (slicks and quiafe)
Ryne owner of team Vision motorsports runs a 12.5 on drag radials at 15 psi
Speedracerz Brian ran a 12.7 on 11 psi
DJ (I dont know his real name) ran a 12.7 on 13 psi
Josh solomon - 13.2 @ 114 at 15 psi (severe traction issues)
dj and Jeff were on street tires as well... DJ had severe traction problems
the list goes on... and on.... and on... thats all I can remember off the top of my head....
I know if I hook up and dont have any traction issues and run a great run it could nail a 12.9....
actually all getrag trannies too...
granted thats not a lot, but our cars arent as easy as a honda to get into the 12's, not flamming just stating the obvious

Actually just a nice nitrous set-up on a 2.4 5spd with no weight reduction can get you in low 13s.
15 years ago I'm sure nobody though a 1990 CRX could hit 12s but look what they are accomplishing now in those light little shells. Think a little more open-minded.
There is not a HUGE aftermarket to support any of the J-motors.The ecotec is getting really popular to modify because of the GM racing team (in reality any motor with that much funding can push a 1500lb FWD drag car into low 7s) but it is still not nearly what is available to the more popular Honda motors. Give it a little more time and you will start to see a lot more eco-powered cavaliers and sunfires in the 12s. Right now only people that have no life outside of cars (sorry phil) are getting anywhere.
