This base engine red lines at 6000 rpm, yet still gets great fuel economy - estimated 29 mpg city / 36 mpg highway with a manual transmission. The inline four is a front-mounted, transverse design with dual overhead cams. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on the base engine and a four-speed automatic is available. The all-wheel-drive version is available exclusively with the automatic transmission.
The high-performance GT engine, also a 1.8L powerplant, is rated at 173 horsepower (129 kw) and can rocket the Vibe from 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) in the low 8-second range. The power comes from a combination of changes, including modified heads and the VVTL-i system that increases the intake/exhaust lift when engine speed is high, improving output and fuel efficiency.
The base model gets an even bigger boost with a newly available SPO (GM Service and Parts Operations) supercharger kit. Installed at Pontiac dealers, the SPO supercharger is designed specifically for Vibe's 1.8-liter engine and is fully warranted for the same period as the Vibe. With the supercharger, the Vibe will gain 7.5 pounds of engine boost and an approximately 35-percent increase in horsepower and torque. Combined with either the standard five-speed manual or available automatic transmission, this makes Vibe one of the great small performance rides in America.
Yeah, the Vibe governed out at around 125-130 ish, I can't remember for sure. The speedo say's 140, but has extra markings for 160.
hmmmm I don't hear or see any supercharger..... I do hear a power steering pump whining though.
sawsall > other tools... pics of engine bay would be nice
I agree, engine bay pictures or no blower.
Oh, this thread has SO much potential to be EPIC.
whipples on here are like supermodels. everyone wants one but only a few have gotten to make one scream.

And welcome OP, if even you don't produce pics of said whipple...this thread will still deliver, have no fear.
deliver hatred? nah lol slows being a baby. welcome to our ****ed up little family of hard-ons haha
I am dying to see this picture too! I like how your car says Pontiac on the back bumper. Wish mine had that. And I didn't know the sedans could have dual exhaust. I must of never realized that before.
sometimes if you add brake fluid to a leaky power steering pump it'll make the seals swell up enough to stop leaking
Silver you little raskal.Quote:
