Just fyi some of the cavaliers from like 2000 till they started the new body style are accually heavier than the four door alero by a couple hundred pounds. THis was before they switched to unibody. Those are not as fast as the newer ones with ecotec.

A *few* problems with what you said:
"From like 2000 till they started the new body style" - the cavalier has been virtually the same car from 1995 until it's final year in 2004-2005, regardless of body style, underneath the car has been identical.
"This was before they switched to unibody"
- Ok I'm not sure what you think a unibody car is, but the cavalier has always been a unibody structure since it's inception in the 1980's, the Alero/Grand Am are also unibody vehicles (like EVERY passenger car since the mid-1980s
"Actually heavier than the four door alero by a couple hundred pounds." - No. They are actually lighter than a four door (or a two door) alero by a couple hundred pounds. A 2-door, 5-speed ECOTEC equipped Alero (the lightest offered) is probably ~200lbs heavier than the Z-24 (2.4L TwinCam, heavier iron block) 4-door, sunroof-equipped cavalier, probably the heaviest cavalier offered. And the 4-door, V6 fully loaded Alero is probably 400lbs heavier than a cavalier.
