I raced an alero last night and smoked it within 3 secs. also i kept up to a 2.4l no problem, i prolly could have passed it.

I used kill aleros all the time in my ecotec cavy. Good kill.

I don't think theres much differnece between the 2 Cobalts anyways and I own a 2.4L and I know those 2.2L's can hang if the driver is good. Good kill, was the alero an auto? I imagine it was eh?

nice man!

What kinda mods are you running

BMWM51969

good question i'd like to know that too.

joeworkstoohard

i dunno, i've driven both cars, and my 2.4 feels a hell of a lot quicker than a 2.2.


i'm not saying that it couldn't keep up at all, but in the same tone, with a good driver, a 2.2 isn't THAT much slower than an SC

djblass

2.2 keep up with a 2.4 i didn't know that, haven't tried it yet but dying to race a 2.4 to see how i end up i raced a s/c once with stage 2 and i just saw him pass by me could'nt keep up

Chris_Leslie

I am just running AEM CAI. and the alero was a maunal with aftermarket muffler.

javit24

wow thats pretty cool, good to know ima try to look for the 2.4s see how well i can keep up

I can see a manual 2.2 keeping up with a auto 2.4 as i've only seen the autos run around 15.7's to 15.9's....trapping almost similar speeds all around 88ish I think.....idk I may be wrong

TheDriver!

I have to remember I'm a 5spd 2.4L and have yet to race a 2.2L either auto or stick.. I just seem to run into base Cobalts and I go slow off the line. I think GM did a good thing with the Cobalt in offering 3 engines and so many options! Plus I believe the 2.4L on a dyno is only putting down 150ish hp.. Well something like that anyways..

I would like to see a race between a 2.2L and base Civic.

blacksssc05

i keep up with 2.4s too

Chris_Leslie

ummmmmmmmmmm....really????????? i didn't think a SS/SC could....lol

blacksssc05

haha i know i am jk i didnt mean to be a dick

Jackalope

Good kill!

Not to hate but the auto 2.4's are trapping mid 15's in the 1/4. The new injector swap and tune has us running flat 15's with automatics.

And yes a 2.2 can kick ass! My 2.2 ECO Cavi ran 14.6's with just bolt ons and a port job on the head that I did in my garage.

cea2488

Nice kill man...Good to know that I can give 2.4's a run for their money lol.

g5mike

gotta watch out though there might be some modded 2.4 lurking out there.lol

Jackalope

You can but it takes a good bit of mods to do it.

I own a 2.2 auto, all stock, and I've driven a 2.4 auto that had just an intake at the time... honestly, I didn't think there was *that* much of a difference between the two. Granted, I'm going solely on the 'seat-of-the-pants' method here, but it wasn't a huge difference. I could see a 2.2 keeping up with a 2.4 if the L61 had a decent driver.

wdsoccer

theres a stock 2.4 where i live. i wanna race them but hardly see them. and when i do they are goin the opposite way.

campo165

umm try about 13mph slower in the 1/4. but sure.

joeworkstoohard

i'm just saying that in reality, anything can happen. it's not like messing with a GTO and getting spanked, there is a chance.

iLLmaTic3s

nice kill. umm yeah i have owned both a 2.2 and 2.4 currently im driving a 2.4. my old 2.2 got totaled(****** ******* who hit into me) my 2.4 is totally different that the 2.2. one thing that is great with the 2.4 is tuning..really none for the 2.2 balt. a good 5spd driver could possibly keep up with a auto 2.4ss. see im auto but my car is tuned. so it wud b a decent run for a 2.2 to race a tuned 2.4. im doing the injector swap soon(thanks jackalope) and then put on full bolt-ons. im looking hopefully to be in the 14's. that the only thing holding the 2.2 back is the tuning. both are fast cars for what they are. dont get me wrong..both smoke many cars and can give some good runs.
