2.2 good bye hello 2.4SS
well yeah I have almost 24k on factory brakes too, but i'm sure i'll have to change them before I get rid of the car lol. I never really thought about drums, but i've always had at least rotors in the front which needed to be changed.
Drums see only a fraction of the were that rotors see, chances are yours are just fine.
I'm not jumping on either side, but I will post a quote from Bill Hahn himself:
I am NOT endorsing the 2.4 as a 400 HP engine in stock form. But for it to even stay together so far is a testament to its capabilities. Should you build one just like ours? With what's known so far, the answer is yes, but ONLY if you can stand the disappontment of a failed stock engine, treating such a failure as your impetus to move forward to an internally-enhanced engine. It's a cavalier attitude, but actually, it's grounded in sincere realism. You should only risk breaking eggs if you don't mind cleaning up the mess.
Few people on here have the real world experience. Christ, some tards on here are still paying other people to install intakes, or all they can say is "That's how I bought it" or "I don't know I just dropped it off"
Thanks for the clarity

That's the problems with forums. There are a ton of people that think they know everything because they read it on teh forum, but they have no actual first hand experience. That's the problem with carshows too. People talk about what they read on teh forums rather than what they did themselves.
Thanks for the clarity

Exactly... but what you don't understand is that DJT and Witt both have experience working with high HP stock LE5's. Mine last summer. They'll be working with a fully built one this spring too. They're not 2.4L and 2.2L haters. Quite the opposite. They know a thing or two about these motors...
I do understand.
I like to think im more of the 2nd...but sometimes i do have to show it off to get my point across...btw why u checkin out my junk lol j/k
The ONLY reason I was argueing anything was when a few 2.0 members came in with the why didn't you get a SC car atitude and posts. from there, as usual for the internet everyone starts to pick apart everything you say and it goes straight to hell.
That rhymes. TrackPants Lapdance.

I'm just sick to death of all the trim package hate that goes on around here. Its not everyone but those that do resort to it seem to be sceaming it from every hill side.

Poor little gnome.
I think the OP said **** this place and left.

*Christopher Walken voice* Say it baby......say it!
That is funny. But somehow my rear windows rolling with power down don't seem to strike fear in the hearts of anyone other then SRT owners.

It'd be funny to watch them try, because they would need to get out and do a chinese fire drill to put them down.

Ultra blue metallic? Pics?
I thought the 2.4SS's only blues in the US were Arrival blue (only in early '06 but they do exist) and Laser blue....
I know that the granite blue and the royal amethyst (like WunSick) is available on 2.4's in Canada, and for some lucky bastards in the VERY northern states bordering Canada. (WunSick you lucky bastard I want your color!!!!!!!!!)
