So after owning an 09ls coupe and 07lt sedan..the sedan is quicker by almost a full car
both auto, both 2.2l
theres more higher end in the LAP (the low end is horrible) but the L61 seems a lot smoother throughout the rpm range with a lot more low end (l61 outlauched the lap easy)

has anyone yet compared these two stock engines on a dyno?
oh and they removed the rev limiter btw, i had a nice long stretch of highway and figured i'd test it just for *****, the 09ls hit 110 fairly easy, backed off after 111 and ill never be that high again - these stock conti's are absolutely the shittiest tires, 10x worse then the stock Hancook's that came on the 07lt

just thought i'd share and see what other people thought

I just bought $45 a pice knock off yokahamas and they are sooooo much better then the contis. Those tires are such garbage.First time it raind after i got my car i was at a light spining second just trying to keep up with trafic.

cobalt123

baggelis

cobalt123

well i dunno if it makes a diff. but mines an 06 LT, dont think theres a diff. between 06 and 07 for this part???

baggelis

i dont think so but you never know they kept changing stuff here and there every year so who knows

i know the lt with sports package has 0 speedo limiter, but i remember reading all these posts by young kids "i have an ls and i can only go 105, how do i remove it"

Tank07

My 2008 LS XFE hits a little over 120-ish.

It has Goodyear Integrity's on it, though.

Yea i remember when my 2.2 went just over 130.

originaladrian

yup as said before. the limiter is set to the tires that were on when bought.

baggelis

I saw a nice increase in low and mid-range with the GMPP cold air intake. I'm about to tear all of that out as I'm supercharging my 2009 LAP.

ya ive seen your post Gene
I need the warranty on this car, it guarantees i get to work on time every single day- without it i have no way of getting there.
otherwise i'd be sc'ing it too.

I don't blame you. The warranty won't be void on anything but the engine and trans, lol. It is my daily driver too. But... the wife is a stay at home mom so I can take her Hummer to work if mine is down for a couple of days.

I love the car and the gas mileage, but I couldn't live with the lack of power.

shawn672

your wife got a hummer and you got a pontiac g5?
how the hell..

Well, I had a GTO, Cavalier and Envoy.

Lease was up on the GTO and Envoy. The Envoy was the wifes to drive the kids around... something safe... and the GTO was my toy and the Cavalier was my DD.

I bought a Hummer to replace the Envoy (again safe vehicle for the kids). I started my business further away so I needed a more reliable car (Cavalier was dying) so I bought a G5 for the gas mileage. I will buy another toy soon, but this will be my DD.
