Anyone have any 1/4 mile times or dyno numbers yet on the 2.4L?? I'm going to be ordering a SS here in a week or so and don't know yet whether I want the 2.0 SC or 2.4.

Does anyone know if the clutch in the 2.4SS is the same as the one in the 2.0SS/SC?

 

clutch is different, the 2.0L can take more abuse, but is far grabbier.

No track numbers yet. Avro is hitting the track this week, I'll be there in a week or two.

 

Once I'm done breaking mine in (about 1000 miles) I'm gonna hit the track and get some numbers for the 4 speed, so I have a baseline to mod. from. it'll probably be about a month for me.

Are you just wondering if you'll be happy with the SS? Really at best it will be a low to mid 15 sec car. The S/C is a mid 14. If you want the fastest one and can afford, its an easy choice. The 2.4L is toned down a little but obviously not as fast.

So whats important to you?

 

i think the 2.4 will put down high 15's in the 1/4 in auto trim, and mid 15's in manual trim. There is quite a bit of difference between the S/C SS and the 2.4 SS.

 

Maybe next week!!! They cancelled the races tonight We had a little rain yesterday and early today. Damn I am mad---two weeks in a row

 

I'll state it now, if I can't get the SS 2.4L to at least a 15.2 stock, I'll be upset. Look at my sig, I have owned two straight cars that reached 15.2 in the 1/4 mile, and this car here is the most powerful car I've owned.

 

hey, i live in toronto also and have a black SS, pm me when your going to the track

None of the car magazines have tested one yet??? I checked Car & Driver, Motortrend, and Road & Tracks website's, but couldn't find a review. Surprising, since the cars been out for 2 months! I would have thought someone would have tested it now.

 

anyone see Sport compact car on the Scion tC?
Said it had "class topping torque" or something like that - Hello! SS 2.4!!
A magazine seriously needs to test this car, it's killin' me!

 

Yeah, I'm really waiting on a magazine test too. Since the don't run on empty tanks, take out spare tires etc, and don't use drag strips with traction adding elements, I want to see what they get as a 1/4 mile time.

A 1996 camaro V6 5-Speed got 15.9 in the 1/4 mile with Car and Driver, and I got a 15.19 at my local track (grippy, low altitude).....so I hope the mags get a mid-high 15 out of the car so I know what to expect.

That being said, I'll be hitting the track next weekend, so I should know by then.

 

Hello I'm new and just bought a summit white SS 2.4L. I have noticed a lot of guys trashing the N/A SS because they have the supercharged car. What ever, its still front drive. I have a old chevelle. Now thats an muscle car. 12 sec is way faster than mid 14's. I had a old vw bug that I wasted a lot of money on and it ran 16's. The 2.4L is pretty peppy and gets decent milage. I raced a srt-4 and had him good for 200 ft. then he blasted away. Thats when I go get my chevelle. And when I go to work I get my cobalt. Its a nice peppy car for the $.

 

welcome to the msg board. The number of 2.4L owners are growing and I am hearing less complaing for the S/C people

MikeSS--your right. I don't expect a super 1/4 mile time form the magazines for several reasons. (cars they test aren't usually broken in ect)

But if Car and Driver got a 15.5 (M/T too I think) from a Mitsu Lancer Ralliart (2900lbs+, 162hp) they should be able to get a little better then that. I wanna see the handling/braking numbers too.

Wonder what they will say about the SS anme debate?

 

well, I am hitting the track this weekend FOR SURE. probably with a bunch of the SS S/C guys, so we will see what happens. aesthetics, come along if you want!

 

Woo hoo... the 2.4 community is growing. awesome guys. i love this car!!!

 

i wanted to get the ss supercharged model, but it's just a little out of my range since i'm only 18... so i'll probably get the ss model... it's still got ***** for a 4 cyl. and gets great gas mileage...

 

15.22 @ 91.84 is my best so far. It will get faster.

 

and people didnt belive me the 2.4 would run low 15's








good job man

 

What was your 60 foot time? And I'm quessing you were still in fourth since you can go passed 100 mph in fourth, what rpm? Wheel spin? I know mine barks pretty good in second. What elevation? The only mods I have found is n20.

 

A 2.4L 5 speed goes through the traps in 3rd gear--can't rember what rpm---but its under 6000rpm.

 

Not mine, 3rd gear at about 6200RPM I believe.

 

Sounds pretty comparable to the Solstice. Factor in the much nastier CD and larger wheels to rotate and you Cobalt SS should move a little quicker than the Solstice as your numbers prove compared to what the mags have gotten on the Solstice 2.4L VVT ECOTEC. The mags were all driving pre-production cars though for testing.

[Motor Trend]
0-60 = 7.0

Looks like i can get some times up soon. my car should be here today and after break in i'll post some times.

 

Fastest trap time is the slowest 1/4 ?

 

^ yeah, someone doesn't know how to launch the car ^
