So on my way home from school, just me in teh car, my friend has a V8 Jeep Cherokee Limited.

We raced from a striaght froma stop 4 times,i beat him each time by about 4-16 feet each time, and like, we did a roll from 50mph, and i would just pull on him each time...

can you believe it? my cavalier beat a V8 Jeep Cherokee, i shit you not, i was like "holy crap im actually pulling on him".

And then, we were doing about 80 and i had to make a right at this light that was green, and i waslike "uhh, go straight o turn and brake very hard" so i started to brake really hard, and all 4 wheels locke dup then i just was like "oh nig" and i let off the brakes, turned right and ebraked and actually made the turn at about 45mph...very tight.

I can comfortably say that for the most part of that turn i knew exactly what i was doing, it just shocked me at first because i didnt think id be able to slow down in time, and cuz its FWD the only way i could oversteer was to e-brake.

so yes, i beat a V8 jeep and took a turn at 45mph with the back end out...after the 4 wheels locked...im happy, lol.

hahaha, I use the e-brake in my mom's passat when I am in the canyons and it starts to understeer. I used it that time when I was tailing the Z4. It was on the downhill right hand sweeper almost at the bottom of westlake blvd. and I kept tapping on the e-brake so that I could get her rotated. It's amazing how much difference it can make while you making quick turns.

But that is so surprising that you beat the V8 cheroke. That thing must weigh a few tons to loose to a cavalier
