Sideshow: Check Out This Twin-Engine Chevrolet Cavalier! Two Anemic V6s Have To Be Better Than One, Right?

When you throw conventional wisdom out of the window and just start doing something, great things tend to happen. No, really…sometimes overthinking something leads to delays and reconsiderations, when all you really need to do is to make the idea come to life. This concept has been proven over and over…whether you look at military operations or the sequence of events that led up to the birth of a kid, sometimes you just have to do it and hope for the best outcome. Take this late 1980s Chevrolet Cavalier: twin 3.4L V6s, hooked together only by a throttle. You might think the guy being interviewed by BigKleib34 to be a bit redneck-ish, but there is precedent for this kind of a build, and it came directly from General Motors themselves in the form of the “Push Me, Pull Me” Chevrolet Citation X-11 that sported twin 200 horsepower 2.8L V6s. Could more be done to make the Cavalier absolutely wicked? Of course…but one look at the car’s nickname will tell you that more humor and “ah, what the hell” attitude built this car than engineering or the pursuit of horsepower.

    It still is a joke!

    Two engines will mean that this pile of shit gets to the crusher so much faster…

      Lets see your build that even comes close to this level of creativity and independent thinking, Geordie.

    Love it! It’s useless but yet unique!

    Thank you sir for not doing what everyone else is doing.

    I wish someone would do a story on Mancinni’s twin engined LHS Chrysler I’ve heard rumors about…I heard it was a beast on Woodward Ave…
