You DO realize its an Ecotec 2.4 LE5? Not the average Ion/Cobalt/Cavalier motor. Its a stroked out LNF Cobalt SS 2.0T motor. Damn torquey SOB when it wants to be, but the US forced the manufacturers to move so quickly to Fly-by-wire that nothing was tested like it should have been. Plus, my car is Canadian. Not sure why it ended up here when it was destined for .ca :/

But yea, aside from the horrible fly-by-wire issues, I LOVE that motor. Made 163whp/161tq stock, which wasn't bad for NA.
