Mallard Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) For 2014 the Regal Turbo and GS get optional AWD, and the they go from 220hp/260 lb-ft to 259/295. This is a loss in power for the GS, though. edit: it can send more than 90% of the power to the rear wheels.

I wonder what the AWD variant comes in at. Edit: as I look online, it says it weighs between 3600 and 3700. I wonder what I read at Detroit on the ad next to the car? I swore it said curb weight was 5500 lbs. hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallard Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Could have been GVWR, but I can't seem to find out how much it really is. On the GS it's 4700 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 As if this car needs to weigh any more considering its powerplant... I test drove a GS, and it was far from athletic. It handled well, had great brakes, and good looks, but the engine was very lethargic. Something tells me adding 300lbs in AWD will make this even worse. Great car in theory, hopefully they let it hang around for an overhaul, as its a solid package in round 1, just needs to lose some weight, get a more responsive engine, and get real on the dubs.

Mallard Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) Blah. Someone told me it's a ecotech cavalier motor inside a car weighing way more. Like the car. power plant meh. So it weighs about the same an Audi A4 2.0t (3600-3700 lbs) and has almost 50 more HP. The Ecotec in this car is significantly reworked from the days of the Cavi. It's closer to the turbo Solstice/Cobalt engine, but still has a lot of revisions. I did hear that you can't get the manual trans with AWD, which is a fail in my book.

Stupid warranties. :gabe: Still waiting for my AWD, TDi, 6mt car...dreams..just dreams for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you getting 2600-2700? 100% sure he meant to put a 3 there instead of a 2. All cars are heavy today. That said, VAG is making some efforts to go back in the other directions with the new MQB platform debuting soon. MK7 Golf's to drop to 2700-2800lbs. An S3 with 300hp I4 will only be about 3000lbs. :megusta: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
