Couple new/upcoming product questions...
1. What are the differences between the LS2 in the Vette/GTO and the SSR? Wasn't it simply the heads, or is there more than that?
2. Anyone know why is Chevrolet calling its 2.4 NA Ecotec model, SS, when there is already the SS Supercharged? Didn't Chevy learn why not to do that thanks to the Monte Carlo? Thanks. :) |
Re: Couple new/upcoming product questions...
I was under the impression that the N/A Cobalt Coupes were NOT getting the SS badge...
I remember it being the plan to have SS and SS Supercharged, but I also remember a press release stating that they had revised that scheme... |
Re: Couple new/upcoming product questions...
what did they learn from Monte carlo? i know lots of people love that supercharged beast.
but i was under the impression the Supercharged ecotec will be a smaller engine like a 2.0 or 2.2 not the same 2.4 but yea the SS will be supercharged and will be about 14.5 at 98.0 in the quarter mile, 0-60 in 6.0, and 0-100 in 15.7 :eek: 2 more miles per hour and 1.2 seconds later not good |
Re: Couple new/upcoming product questions...
There should be no mechanical differences between the LS2 in any vehicle. The only differences should be in the packaging. The SSR probably has a more restrictive intake and exhaust system, as well as a different accessory drive.
