LOL This is still going? That's my Sunfire, it's a simple all-motor build, swapped to a different bottom end, so its a 2.4L instead of a 2.2L, Ported head, cams, bolt-ons and a tune. Makes 193whp. Best run was 13.3 @ 99. Hate on, RUclips.....hate on! Some please like this freaking comment so I don't have to keep explaining this over and over in the comments....LOL
If you're one of those people saying the sun fire has more mods.. Thats because they were cheap to do in the J-body. xD That sun fire is faster and probably took 50,000 dollars less to make. hahah
Clayton Bridges it is way under 50k to do mods on sun fires, if u buy body kits and other exterior mods, it's only about 5000 dollars to really trick out a Pontiac Sunfire. Buying 03 Sunfire in good shape is only around 5 to 8k if even less
the corvette also didnt really launch like the sunfire so it took longer to get up to speed if the corvette knew how to launch it would have been closer, still impressive though
Sure, I'll give you that. I love the Sunfire. I'm about to buy one myself. But let's not kid ourselves, the Corvette is obviously a much nicer car and can still make far more power than any Sunfire. But let's be honest here, if you're a speed junky and that's the only aspect you care about and you're on a budget, clearly there are plenty cheap cars out there that you can make fast.my main point is, don't be THAT guy who thinks that because his car is fast enough to hang with super cars that he's got the best thing on 4 wheels. Don't be a delusional fuck bag. It's toxic to the car community. Speed isn't the only desirability factor of a car.
I once overtook a modified original RX7 whose driver hit my rear bumper at a traffic stop and left the scene once I got out of my car. So I got back into the stock Sunfire '95 2.2L automatic and chased the RX7, overtook it and forced it to stop. the owner was MAD, LOL!
The sunfire is built pretty good but he had a better launch. look at the reaction times. the vette was catching up. But still a win is a win good job sunfire
Hahaha thanks to GuelphRacing for taking this video....got a good kick out of the attention it has got. I was hoping for a 12.9xx pass this year but no dice, back to the drawing board this winter to break the 12 barrier all-motor.
Can you teach me? I have a stock sunfire, I love the car, I just need help making it faster. I want to beat most of my friends cars. What all can I do to make my sunfire very fast?
For years we kept hearing how imports are better vehicles to MOD more reliable, it’s good to see that we have American domestic vehicles being modded and tested at the track and doing well. At the mansion, I always thought. Some of our cars were better look in that Sunfire looks better than an Integra.
I'm just thinking of the approximate times that I usually see with C6 Vettes. I don't always know which engine. Are the C6's you are talking about beating you off the line as well? Vettes usually do better from a roll. These smaller cars can jump out of the hole really quick
I recently restored my 1995 Sunfire (2.2L, 3 spd automatic). It is so sweet seeing it rolling again. I had the transmission rebuilt, new cooling system, transmission oil cooler added, fixed the A/C, replaced the struts, brakes, added rear camera. Next is the stereo system.
@XXstephsvids84XX it is a custom long tube header, stepped primaries with a 3 inch collector. From there I have about 19" of straight 3" pipe and then a turn down. Bascially its open header with a collector extension, controlled via a electric cut-out, it would be far far to loud to street drive it sounding like that.
sunfires in the snow would kick the shit out of any corvette every single day. Trust me I race my buddy in his vette to work every day in yellowknife. I beat him every single time mostly cause he loses traction. I get enough time to sit down and have a coffee by the time he shows up. Although I plan to change the car to Rear wheel drive with an ls3 motor this summer. so I guess we'll be even then. and I only had to pay a third of the cost of the corvette to have some fun. LOL
but still... it got beat by a car that doesnt even cost 2 grand and he prob put less than that in aftermarket parts. the parts for this care is fairly cheap...
ET DOES NOT determine who wins. 2 cars can be lined up and one goes on green and clips off a 13.0 ET, the other can sit there for 5 days then go and clips off a 12.9. Who won? The time doesn't start until the cars tires breaks the timing light, this is what's known as RT or reaction time. Notice the sunfire had a 2.04 sec faster RT?
its possible... the parts for the pontiac sunfire are very cheap... but ehhh the sunfire still lost in the end if you look at the times... the corvette won
vettes arent made for launches, they are more made for accelaration and speed... if this track was longer, then maybe the vette might win depending on how long the sunfire can maintain its speed..
running a 13.20 in a vette is piss poor driving, whether it was a base model or not. Until mods for both cars are shown, why argue it? That sunfire could easily have 10k into the motor alone anyways.
dont know if you have seen real drags but 15 and under is pretty damn quick.. for a QUARTER mile drag//// that is about a stoplight and a quarter... why dont you try your honda civic and do that
That was a j type 2005 ssi. It's great at straight away, but sucks turning. The E type were the slightly older and more maneuverable unibody design, and were lighter. I believe that 99-2004 were made with mostly E type. The corvette is obviously an S3, but with some mods. It's a mismatch of epic proportion, and it's even more epic that the Sunfire won... considering that the corvette is built around racing even as a stock profile.
You can tell that it's J type, because when he burned out, the tires actually lost traction. E types don't lose traction, even in a burnout. Mine will hardly chirp at me, and I have to be pulling a 90° turn at full overdrive to get that result.
smashingstuff09 Yes... I'm blind. That's how I clearly saw the Corvette walk the Cavalier, and cross the 1/4 mile mark first. In fact, I'm so blind, that at 36 seconds exactly I saw the light come on, on the Corvette's side, and I saw their times. Corvette ran a 13.20 @ 112.18mph. Cavalier ran a 13.43 @ 99.28mph. Then again... maybe I'm not the blind one here...
Yeah......but this car is a sunfire lol and it says sunfire in the title. Saying the vette walked this car and just barely beat it is like saying a walked a prius with my GTR. Its a embarrassing race and for it to be close is laughable.
issac njoku Yeah Cavalier, Sunfire, same thing. But I slipped on the name. Saying a Corvette with a poor driver that pulled a lousy 3.54 STILL walked a SUNFIRE that runs a quick 13.43 is still impressive.
lol do you think i care what forums can see this.. and no they get 5.0 liter engines and/or higher with a few tuning modifications. and oh derp! the caps lock again lol.
cost over 50 grand.. not something you would wanna pay for when a lotus elise is half that cost and i have not said anything about pontiacs in my last post. why? cause you are trying to say foriegn cars are PoS's.. and dodge stratus... lol that is a cute car.. what engine you have on it.. a 3.0? and how old is it? back from the early 90's? lol does your transmission slip when you shift? or wait.. you dont shift cause stratus's are almost all automatic.. at least the 1000$ ones are. go to school
lol... for 300$ you can get a nice turbo just like you wanted in your "shelby dodge" and a stock sunfire *since you wanna keep going with that* goes 0-60 in 12 seconds 2.2l turbo sunfire can go 8 seconds going 0-60. also shelby's cost over 10,000% more than what a sunfire *since you wanna keep going with that* so adding 500$ to a 40 grand car is worthless. adding 300$ to a 4grand car is a hell of a lot better AND goes faster than your "shelby dodge" with your 500$ add on. go look at the specs
-2 points huh? well didnt know i was still in high school. but let me tell you something, there are only a few good things about american cars.. expensive to buy, expensive to fill up, and even if they keep adding another liter to the engine its still going to have 15 mpg on street and 20 on highway. if you actually learned something from high school shop class, no american car is good. its the 2.2L engines that have turbo's or chargers on it that go 0-60 in 10 seconds or less depending

Dave K I know I'm late to the party but do you still own the car?
Yes, still going. J type, right? My E type scares the shifter outta super cars in my neighborhood...
That's absolutely mad I love it. I have a unmolested 1997 pontiac sunfire coupe
My grandma had a 2004 Pontiac sunfire but now she sell it
The fact the Sunfire put up a fight against a corvette is something on its own. Big *W*

That's a fast driver in the sunfire
Thanks.
Dave K Are you using the Colbat LSJ ECM and harness, I'm in the process building a 2.4 with an LSJ head and could really use some tips.
Has the exhaust note of a riced out car, but is fast. At Least it's fast and not riced out.
13.43s honestly isnt fast

Good point, looks like you've got good tires on there.
You are completely wrong, everywhere in canada runs a proper 1/4 mile with trap speeds shown in MPH and not KPH
Just got my sunfire not to long ago but love it ganna mod mine up too
impressive time on the sunfire... Love sleepers
OF COURSE!! That Sunfire has Ontario plates!
The guy in the corvette didn't know how to drive.lol
Damn that's a nice fn sunfire I have an 03 automatic tho but who cares I'm fixing it up and coming out nice

what all is done to that sunfire? what motor?
Did u feel a difference with balance shaft deletes
What is the point of the holes on rear bumper?
Since this happened in Canada, do they run 1/4 mile or something metric?
I'm about to do it to my Eco cavalier
It's maybe 100lbs lighter than a bone stock one. My 60foots are 1.7's...that helps a lot to bring the ET's down.
that sunfire sounds sick!
They are so good. I adore mine

omg please dont.. You are just wasting money. Don't dump money on a sunfire. Just buy a new car thats rwd and nicer.
Andrew L but bro you can't beat the looks of a sunfire
Sports car or glorified grocery getter?
Theres a good video on how he built that Sunfire. Go check it out.
@bigfluufy Actually, its a 2.4 LE5/ 2.0 LSJ hybrid, with some 2.2 L61 aftermarket cams.
are you from sudbury ontario seen the car my buddy eric know's you fast sunfire saweet
Wow that's a fast little car. Whats done to it
C6 ran a 13? Did he miss 3rd?
so explain all the stock civics that go to the drag strip? vettes are excluded i guess
but still... it got beat by a car that doesnt even cost 2 grand and he prob put less than that in aftermarket parts. the parts for this care is fairly cheap...
My Sunfire is all stock and sounds like this Sunfire when it revs.
Reminds me of need for speed prostreet
At the end of the day, it is still a Sunfire...
At the end of the day, my Sunfire is faster than every r4 I've ever seen.
that was kinda like watching grass grow
13.3 with only 193whp? Did you lighten the damn thing?

it is? are you talking LS2 base or LS3 base? my civic runs 12.90's and C6's are faster than me..... my car has a 10.23:1 whp to weight ratio
lol yeah you got the point is only the corvettes fame
its possible... the parts for the pontiac sunfire are very cheap... but ehhh the sunfire still lost in the end if you look at the times... the corvette won

I have a 2004 sunfire and I need help to make it fast
put a lil turbo in it and tweak the smaller things
Push it off a cliff.
step 1: get rid of the fucking sunfire
Juan Santiago I got one to bro they aren't bad cars haters can eat shit ya feel
Best thing you can do is weight reduction, intake, full exhust, and computer cheep without taring into it.
Wow someone took this seriously.
13.2 second quarter is about right for a base C6
The Vette won even with the incompetent driver... He had a terrible reaction time at launch. That base Corvette is $50k, but still.
are you saying shelby dodges have v8s?
running a 13.20 in a vette is piss poor driving, whether it was a base model or not. Until mods for both cars are shown, why argue it? That sunfire could easily have 10k into the motor alone anyways.
Has go kart tires and still wins
He's at the drag races, so I doubt it's a base vette.
Sunfire's quick but I can guarantee the corvette would outperform the sunfire in any other scenario.
yeah...
The Corvette won this race...
Why would you want one and spend all that money when a Sunfire can almost beat you?
Well you did build a Sunfire...
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!! CORVETTE SHOULD BE FASTER THAN THAT SUNFIRE!
lmfao, i dont own no foreign shit, its all american cars. you have -2 points
How do i make my 05 sunfire that fast?
