2.4 is better them 2.2??
I have been in a rental 2.2 for the last 3 weeks.
Kills
Mazda 6
F150
V6 accord w/ the Triangle lights
04 Civic w/ Vtec
V6 Stang
and probably a few others I cant remember.
Losses
89 ZC Integra w/ all bolt ons.
Very impressive car, much faster then my 2.4 SE-R was.
I think the 2.4 Cobalt would be faster though.
Cant beat displacement

my gf just bought a 2.4 cobalt ss, that lil sucker moves, gonna get rid of that garbage gas the dealer filled it with and throw in atleast 91 and hammer it again, ive also driven the 2.2 and it wasnt nearly as responsive.
i agree, i would have gotten the ss na solely for the 4 wheel discs. if you look at times in the 1320, it seems almost to be a drivers race..... stock 2.2s are running mid-high 15s in some (rare) cases, and the 2.4s are mid 15s. with exhaust and intake and a decent driver, the 2.4 should be owned by a 2.2.

my gf will be dynoing her ss on the 21st, bone stock, a buddy of mine with G5 GT will be there too dynoing his car with intake, exhaust, 2.2's make about 125 130 ish at the wheels, i cant recall what a 2.4 makes, but more than that forsure, we will see wat a bone stock car does and a mildly modded one does.

Uhhh, my car stock is running a 15.20 -15.30 times. I haven't seen a stock 2.2L do that.
With an intake, it went to 15.05.

Im not sure about manuals but my friend has a 2.4 auto and my stock 2.2 auto was a little faster, im not sure why, now that i have some mods i can say for sure that its faster than his 2.4 stock. I bet the manuals are a different story. Very interesting
Maybe with a turbo the 2.2 will be faster then the 2.4.
The 2.4 is a better engine. Please feel free to learn for yourself:

I drive a 2.4L Auto Cobalt SS Coupe and it is better than the 2.2. I know this because I raced one stock for stock @ the track. 3,200 ft. elevation and won. My best time of the night ( first 5 passes ever ) was a 16.5 @ 82 mph. Its not what you would see in the magazines, but It was sure a hell of a time!

I took my friends redline off the line got about half a car length on him and then I went deaf from the supercharger and he flew by me lol. I've drvien my moms 2.2auto and theres no comparision to me. Also I raced my friends cavy with the 2.2 ecotec+intake and exhaust and I beat him.
