Any car is weak compared to a modded one. I've seen 700+ hp versions of the 2.2 in my car. I'm only down 500 hp:p

impressive, but they took one of the few modern cars that I think is nice looking and made it fugly as hell! Especially with those god-forsaken wheels.

I never thought I'd see that lowly 2.4 rev so damned high! I wonder if they shortened the stroke on it.

I wouldn't doubt they left the stroke stock, I'd see no reason it couldn't hit 7750RPM with heavy duty pistons/rods

That engine has a LONG stroke by design. Piston speed quickly becomes an issue.

96mm stroke is the figure I've found, nothing that can't be handled with a built shortblock for that kind of RPM
