just had to point out that the f430 runs 11.7 just like the z06.

When i bought my 2.2 i didnt do very much research on the cobalts. My dealer only had 1 ss and it was in the showroom. It was like 20,000ish. fully loaded. my 2.2 was 13,600.
if i knew what i know now i would have gotten at least a 2.4 But for the most part i like the 2.2
ALMOST no other 4cyl can keep up w/ it.

guess it depends on what he menat by "better" thats highly subjective ..I will assume he was talking about the engine and specifically the build book being able to acheive the highest numbers

Thats what a guy with a small dick would say right before a ***** showing contest .....



j/k you point is correct , I would have changed the phrasing ....I like seeing how these threads turn out ... they get banned when nessasary anyway, just let everyone make their point, thats the whole idea behind a forum anyway ...

You do realize that the reason this thread probably got started was because the S/C guys have been pissing on the 2.2's and then sometimes the 2.4's. But you know what... my dick is bigger than anybody's on the site... I'm African American bitch... lol


Quick Reply: 2.4 is better them 2.2??
