Hello everyone, I am new to this site but I have been driving a 1986 Cav. for almost ten years now. Needless to say I have learned alot about these first gen cars over the years. Recently though I found something very interesting online. I was perusing GM Photostore. com where I encounted a photo of a 1982 Cavalier Pace Car.
It was yellow with a turbo engine and unique single unit headlights. I tryed in vane to find out more about this car online. Does anyone know if this car actually exists? I know the real 1982 pace car was the Camaro, so what is this car supposed to be?
Thanks
got a link to the photo......i cant find it on the site
nm i found it...thats kinda cool
i found that same pic a few months ago, and posted it, i am also curious about it but i still have yet to find anything, im thinking that maybe they made the car to promote it as a possible pace car and they chose the camaro instead, but a few pictures were documented and saved, because i have found no production numbers about this car and im assuming that it either got crushed, or is sitting in some museum with noone interested in it, or in some barn waiting to be found 30 years later by some j-body freak to restore and covet it...the last scenario is probably sarcastic
haha, any way i dont know wtf that thing is

I've seen this picture, but as far as i know it wasn't anything other than a design study. I beleive it followed the similar 660 Chevy Citation turbo project.
I recall seeing this similar picture of a yellow turbocharged Citation 2 door on the web a few years back. Not much is known about either. In my opinion, both cars looked damn good. Not a whole lot of other 'excitement' was being put out by GM in those days. They could have used a little something like these cars.

Yes, I realize that. I said I think the Cavalier turbo car came after a similar Citation turbo car that was made in 80 or 81.
Those X-11 Citations are very cool, BTW. I would love to grab one. Of of my grade school friend's mothers owned a white X-11 and I thought it was just a sharp little car. Not sure why they got such a bad rap.
Found this on a website about the 660 Turbo car in case you were really wondering about it. I did for a while.
This was a one time specialty car built by the Chevrolet Design Center in Michigan. GM used the LE2 and bolted on throttle body injection and a Borg-Warner/I.H.I RB6 turbocharger in a blow through system. The boost was run at 5PSI and alcohol injection helped minimize detonation. This engine produced 170hp. It lacked the cowl induction hood, but had flared fenders and Goodyear P235/60R14's on BBS wheels and a Canary yellow paint job. Contrary to popular beliefs, only one was produced. It was build by John Pierce at GM and was used as a show car and to scare people. It was later disassembled with the drive train going to a 1981 X11 owned by John. The body went somewhere unknown. John said the body is most likely gone.
