Lighter...and I can make it balls to wall stupid metric sh1t tons faster than the 3.8. Why? It's basically the 4B11...which if you don't know people...is the new EvoX's motor, the replacement for the 4G63.

This is a common misconception and the 2.0 is in no way shape or form better than the 3.8. If you really want to get into it we can but I'll just tell you to trust me.

Anyway the motor shares almost nothing with the 4B11 and has been known to chuck rods at 300whp.

I also find it funny that a lot of people will argue till they're blue in the face that the 2.0 is easier to make faster... Sure, it goes from 190whp to 260-270whp with basic bolt ons and a tune, maxing out the stock turbo. The 3.8 would be much harder pressed to pick up 80whp... BUT it makes about 250-260whp STOCK. About 300whp with bolt ons.

What am I getting at?

Full blown maxed out stock turbo 2.0Ts are slower than bone stock off the showroom floor 3.8s. To go faster than a stock 3.8 you need to upgrade the turbo and build the bottom end.
