Does anyone know some performance specs on a 99 Malibu with the 2.4 engine? What is the 0-60 or the 1/4 mile. Any rough estimastes would be good also.

Engine 2.4L "Twin Cam" L4
Type DOHC, in-line 4-cylinder
Block Cast Iron
Cylinder Head Cast Aluminum
Bore x Stroke 90.0 x 94.0 mm (3.54 x 3.70")
Displacement 2392 cc (146 cu.in.)
Compression Ratio 9.7:1
Fuel Regular, Unleaded
Fuel Induction Sequential-Port Fuel Injection
Horsepower 150 hp @ 5600 rpm
Torque 155 lb.-ft. @ 4400 rpm
Curb Weight 1385 kg. (3050 lb.) - Malibu
1395 kg. (3075 lb.) - Malibu LS
As far as acceleration, I could not find any numbers for the 2.4L. However, the 3.1L is ~8.9sec 0-60, so the 2.4 would probably turn in something around 9.5-10sec. As for quarter mile, its probably in the neighborhood of ~17.5-18 secs @ ~80-85MPH.
