SUPERCHARGED CAVALIER Z-24 COMBINES PERFORMANCE AND STYLE
Start off with something already very good. Improve upon it and the result is something spectacular. In this case, begin with the Chevrolet Cavalier Ecotec 2.2-liter engine. Add a supercharger and the result is a fire-spitting, 262-horsepower sport sedan.

The horsepower boost was achieved by incorporating a Roots-type supercharger with liquid-air charge cooling. Cavalier Z-24 also features forged aluminum pistons with a 6.5cc dish to obtain its 9.0:1 compression, as well as titanium connecting rods.
