Just picked up my SS 2.4L

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.

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.

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!
