I just picked up my 2.4L SS, I love it, I can't wait for the break in period to end so I can get on it.

I think this car has more power then many people think.

Congrats! I got mine 3 weeks ago and love it.

What colour/options/trans did you get??

I find the torque very impressive on this engine. Along with the response and over all smoothness too.


Post some pics!!

No pics yet, by next weekend for sure. It is black, 5-speed, no options.

I chirped from 2nd gear at 5000rpm into 3rd gear. :-D

cool! And you got the right transmission :cool: I have no options too---well except for the smokers package (no I don't smoke)

You gonna race it out at TMP?

Yeah, there or St Thomas, my car club goes to both. We usually go to St Thoams because it has less people there (even if the track is a bit crappy)

Can you even get the 2.4 SS with leather? All the ones I've seen at dealers only have cloth.

the g/f would prob force me to get the butt warmers too

I sat in a leather one, it was pretty nice, seats are way better, the but warmers are a nice option.....but I am too poor for it.

Unfortunately it doesn't. I personally wish they were.

just got the 2.4 ss coupe a little more than a month ago, already have 2500 miles on it. the car actually is happier driving harder than it is driving normally.

i kinda wish that it had a little more oomph in the 2500-4000rpm range. under full throttle, though, not bad!
