2015 Malibu 2 0T Tuned vs 2012 Buick Regal GS 2 0T Stock with Intake

[@danielsgarageaudioandvehic8993]

Dang. Tuned Malibu for the win. I'm gonna be looking into the Trifecta Tune for my 2014 Buick Regal T.

[@dyey06]

I just got a Malibu 2014 ltz I'm looking to build it up a little for fun. And suggested thinking of getting a bigger turbo intake etc.

[@christinah5344]

You just need the right tune. A lot of people are dumping cash into the parts, when you can get a better tune than this. The shift was too long from second to third. Malibu is FWD, so the slowest part is off the line. Once you have traction, see YA! I've owned both the 2014 & 2015 LTZ 2.0T. The 2014 stock tune is actually slower than 2015 - trans could've been tuned better, which it was in 2015.

Clean axx Malibu.... The GS is nice too.

[@FrancisGamache]

Thanks buddy!

[@leesantos9711]

GM needs to do what FCA is doing to the Challenger ! killer colors and performance ,how about an SS with 300hp, i would buy one ! Malibu is a nice car !

[@coreyflynn9333]

lee santos won’t happen. The ss was a $50k sleeper that failed.

[@TrumpsaTerroristChangeMyMind]

No car company needs to do anything FCA is doing😂 all of our cars get 2/5 for reliability and have weak ass motors not exactly great for modding... give it 50-80k miles it’ll break on you and that’s if you keep it stock😂 had a coworker with a charger and the motor started knocking at 38k miles imagine trying to mod that... it wouldn’t even last a year.

[@TrumpsaTerroristChangeMyMind]

lee santos yeah it’s a damn shame too just good marketing really there are wayyy better cars to get in any class that FCA competes in Not just better in a single spot either like all around luxury style performance I could never justify a FCA purchase... not even the Dodge Challenger although the challenger is probably their most competitive car they offer for a class

For sure !

Yes the Regal GS is 6 speeds manual. This track is not good to make a good runs because it's a cement airstrip. We have not grip. 2012 Regal GS 2.0T 6-speeds manual (LHU engine) 15.8 - 95mph 2015 Malibu 2.0T 6-speeds automatic (LTG engine) 14.7 - 98mph With my Malibu I ran - 1/8 = 8.8s to 79mph - 1/4 =13.7s to 100mph with 2.0s 60ft.

[@isthianthomas6386]

A GS or lower trim?

[@apbt067]

Def not a fair comparison of the 2 since the Malibu has a tune. And gs just having intake. The Malibu obviously has exhaust problems intake as well. No wonder it outran the gs. But the gd is such a nicer car and so much better handling in curves looks better to. That Malibu could have of that gains a stock gs on a curvy road and it would touch the gs because of the gs setting.

[@FrancisGamache]

It was a funny race with my friend and I can tell you than I had no problem with my exhaust or intake. The handling of my malibu was probably better too because I had a coilovers suspension with low profil tires.

They both slow, they aren’t race cars. They would both get destroyed on curves. Stop trynna race other race cars. There, thats fair enough.

non je l'ai pas passé au dyno c'est un approximatif de mods et de la programmation. Juste la tune sans mods donne un total de 268whp et 307wtq. J'ai ajouté turboback custom catless en 3" a grandeur jusqu'à l'arrière short Ram air Intake injen, 25psi de boost se qui donne selon mes calculs 280whp mais ça reste un estimation.
