Well i wanted to compare which was faster. the 99' or my old car.

Which is a 1997 Chevy Cavalier Coupe. 120 hp @ 5000 RPM.

I dont know to much about cars, so which one is faster?
and like i asked before what are some ways of making it faster?
There no easy way to get quick, abundant hP gains out of 4cyl. Exhaust, air intake, performance plugs and wires are the typical household tricks but in the end you'll only gain 10-15 hp max. The only way to get a significant gain is turbo or supercharger and I don't think you really want to dump 3 grand into the Mazda do ya?
