2. fuel for the soul
provocative
Sunfire shown in Silver Metallic.
One look at Sunfire is enough to convince you. For this car, there is no middle ground. It’s designed to move
your sense of style…and your sense of performance. Because underneath that clean and fearless exterior is
Sunfire’s potent 2.2L dual-overhead cam Ecotec engine with 140 horses, backed by a Getrag 5-speed manual
transmission and available sport suspension. That’s more than enough technology to put you ahead of the
pack. And keep you there. After all, Sunfire’s Fuel for the Soul. And that’s what Pontiac is all about.
3. riveting SUNFIRE’S 2.2 LITER DOHC ECOTEC ENGINE MAKES IT ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL
CARS IN ITS CLASS.*
Imagine one of the lightest four-cylinder engines capable of producing 140 horsepower and 150 lb-ft
of torque. That’s the Ecotec 2.2L powerplant. This truly global engine, built to meet the needs of the
world’s most demanding drivers, comes on quick and lasts throughout an impressive rpm range. This
means you have more than enough off-the-line performance as well as power to accelerate and maintain
a traffic-leading position as you climb to higher speeds. The Ecotec is solidly quiet too. In large part, this
is because twin balance shafts produce a smooth, even operation. To help reduce operating costs, the
Ecotec features ultra-lightweight materials like aluminum and other composites. This weight reduction
helps Sunfire sip fuel at an impressive 33 mpg on the highway and 26 in the city (manual transmission).**
Altogether,this is an engine whose performance makes a very powerful statement.

THE ECOTEC ENGINE IS SO WELL DESIGNED, OVER 50% OF ITS STOCK PARTS
ARE USED IN MARTY LADWIG’S 1,000-HP DRAG RACING ENGINE.
The grueling world of competition is the greatest test of any engine. And just like the Ecotec powerplant in your
Sunfire, the aluminum block and cylinder head, main bearings, dual overhead cams, rocker arms, and electronic fuel
injection in Marty Ladwig’s production-based Sunfire engine are all stock components. What’s more, Ladwig’s drag
car has factory-built unibody construction with stock rack-and-pinion steering…just like every Sunfire.
Taking a production-based engine — with a few modifications including methanol fuel and a turbo-charger with
intercooler — the Pontiac racing crew gets some exceptional performance. The Sunfire runs the quarter-mile in the
mid-8 seconds with a 1,000-hp Ecotec engine…that was rated at “only” 700 hp last season. Of course, Sunfire’s racing
results will continue to produce higher speeds and quicker times — stay tuned. So the next time you step on the gas
in your Sunfire, feel the performance. It’s in there. Right from the factory.
