GM is trying..

GM will take on the new high power compact market with its new supercharged 2.2L ecotec engine producint a whoopping 262hp and 228 ft torque !! Here are specs and pictures (I know this was related to a couple of weeks ago, but this is actually comming out on the market in about a year an a half !!!) Here is the article :


SUPERCHARGED CAVALIER Z-24 COMBINES PERFORMANCE AND STYLE
Start off with something already very good. Improve upon it and the result is something spectacular. In this case, begin with the Chevrolet Cavalier Ecotec 2.2-liter engine. Add a supercharger and the result is a fire-spitting, 262-horsepower sport sedan.

The horsepower boost was achieved by incorporating a Roots-type supercharger with liquid-air charge cooling. Cavalier Z-24 also features forged aluminum pistons with a 6.5cc dish to obtain its 9.0:1 compression, as well as titanium connecting rods.

CHEVROLET CAVALIER Z-24 HIGHLIGHTS:
Ecotec 2.2L I-4 aluminum block/aluminum head, DOHC, 16-valve engine
Roots-type supercharger with liquid-air charge cooling
262 hp @ 6500 rpm
228 lbs.-ft. @ 5500 rpm
Nippon tri-stage Metallic Red exterior color
Composite front, rear fascias and rocker moldings
Axis-Hagen 19-inch, five-spoke aluminum wheels
TOYO Proxes T1-S P235/35ZR-19 tires

Yeah I must admit that looks good. I guess we'll have to wait and see how it actually turns out later on on the road!
