I'm swapping my 2.4 for the Eco for those reasons.

Yeah its newer, more efficient etc but is it really stronger? because when it comes to stock the 2.4 looks stronger on the paper... but yeah i guess youre right since it is newer and got more aftermarket coz its popular and its german lol.

Cliff is right. Is your ecotec stock?

I'd say of all the engines the ecotec is the best compromise of performance and mods, just because it's used in so many cars and has such a big aftermarket and is still not unacceptably slow when it's stock. The 3.4 has adequate power, and since it's used in mini-vans (yuck) I seriously think that played a big part in it's small aftermarket.

No 3.4 sounds like my 2.4. It's just beastly and gnarly sounding.

See I can say the exact same thing as you. Plus I have the power to back up the beautiful sounds, unlike the lil pushrod thing.

I demand a good sound clip of your 2.4!

I just want to hear a gnarly sounding twin-cam =). I've heard my share of quads with a very V8-like lope to their idle...
