Yeah, the ecotec is a peppy little engine. The 2.2 is no slouch compared to cars I've owned in the past. It has as much HP as the '83 Thunderbird I had long ago that I thought was a big powerful car.
jeez! thats nuts

i would not doubt it, but ill tell ya the electronics in cars today are aggrivating. like my hhr has the stupid ignition issue where the keys sticks. because of the parking sensor in the shift console.. so i have to push the release button INSIDE the steering column which they conveniently placed an access hole for my finger... and just modding period but if your a good tuner or know someone who is the benefits of a good ecu tune are substantial..
