Hey,
Does anyone know if Avenger V6(2.5l) can bit the crap out of Grand AM GT(3.1l or 3.4l)?

 

Not a chance...

 

...agreed. By the specs of a 3.4l (175chp) it may seem close but they are geared differently than our 2.5l. That's one of the reasons why some A/S guys get the drive gears from the 4dr Stratus. The 3.0 may have a better chance at beating either car but not our 2.5s..sorry.

 

LOL! Our cars just look sexy, they aren't that fast...until ya start doing things to them. LOL!

0-60 for the Avenger is awhopping 10.1 seconds, according to Car and Driver Magazine.

 

no way can an avenger ever beat a grand am stock for stock. ive got one of each and the grand am just has more in the low end. thats always been chryslers problem is the low end.

 

The Grand Am has significant advantage in torque 205 ft-lbs (3.4l Grand Am GT) vs. 170 ft-lbs (Avenger). The 3.4 liter is an OHV, which tends to have a flatter hp and torque curve verse a SOHC (like the 2.5)-and even more so than a DOHC. The Car & Driver numbers for the Grand Am GT that I have seen is 0-60 in 7.7 seconds. Here is a link to a sight that has Car & Driver's numbers on the Grand Am GT http://www.car-stats.com/stats/shows...tsgivenid.aspx. The best time I saw for a Stratus Coupe 3.0 auto on 0-60 was 8.5 (MotorTrend), and the fastest I have seen from the manual is 7.2 (also MotorTrend).

 

You will not beat a stock Grand Am with that lowly and pathetic 2.5L V6 in the Stratus. Swap out to a SRT-4 motor or maybe throw in a 3.5L from an Intrepid....then maybe just maybe you might be able to run with it.

I think you have your answer....

 

Now that is what I'm talking about![sm=drooldude.gif]
