So this is a pretty simple thread, I just want to know your thoughts. Would you rather have a 2.4l sedan more power but slightly heaver (about 100 pounds) or a 2.2l coupe with less power and less weight? I'm just curious as to what you guys say.

 

I'd take the 2.4 if it was during the years that it had the forged internals and the 2.2 if it's not in those years. Also are we talking the L61 or LAP 2.2?

 

uhhhh not quite sure of the difference in the 2.2s but lets go with the LAP (08+ right?)

 

is neither an option

only a 2.4 sedan if it had black interior swap

 

I'm tempted to do that to mine, I just need to find black heated leather

 

keep an eye on ebay. use seachtempest to seach all of craigslist,

 

The LAP has VVT which previously only the LE5 had, it's the same head that 09-10 2.2's have (which mine is an 09 and going to be boosted in the near future). Wish it had the forged internals though so it could handle 300 WHP instead of only 250 at most.

 

thank you for the tip bro

muh LE5 yo...

 

Your sig says 08 2.4.

You has no good internals sorry lol

 

Between a stock 2.4 and a stock 2.2 (L61 or LAP), I'm going to say the 2.4

When did forged internal affect the power output of an engine?

 

Shhhhhhhhhhhh don't remind me! All I have over 06-07 LE5 is I make slightly more torque for some reason

woops forgot to mention that lol yes both stock

 

Never heard of that lol .

 

It affects how much power it can hold which would affect eventually wanting to boost the engine.

The 2.2 because it's a coupe vs the sedan which I personally prefer.

 

I can't remember where I seen it but 06-07 makes like 1-2 more hp than mine but I make like 4-5 more torque.....it was weird

 

It's a 2 hp difference but the same torque. 171 vs 173 hp and then 163 lb-ft for both

 

Damn you chevy, why did you make my year worse -.-

 

Hahaha

 

No it's the 06's that have less than the 07-08.

 

atleast its still a 2.4

Woooooo!! Come at me twooz!

 

I would go with 2.4 sedan, just because I got bored with coupe and like the 2.4 lol

 

The difference (in a 1/4 mile race) is gonna be less than half a second. So if you do a real race don't expect to blow the doors off each other.

 

I got back and forth with them. I like the convenience of a sedan but coupes look more appealing to me.

 

Twooz would still probably blow my doors off he is boosted, bolted and tuned and I'm sitting here stock lol.

 

I like it for the convenience too, and I like more the rear bumper of the 2.4 sedan, how it covers better the exhaust

 

I'm talking a dead stock 2.4 sedan and a dead stock 2.2 coupe. Race 10 times it could be a 5-5 split.
