Go ahead, give in to the urge. Vibe GT is designed for the serious driver. When you fill up with
premium fuel, you’ve got more than 170 horsepower attached to the accelerator. Plus there’s a

agility, and specially calibrated sport-tuned suspension are certain to summon your adrenaline.
5. SUPERCHARGER
The Vibe Supercharger boosts horsepower and torque up to 35 percent. Specifically
designed for Vibe’s 130-horsepower, 1.8 liter engine, the Roots-type manifold design
and precise vehicle calibration maximizes performance without sacrificing drivability
or durability. Extensively tested and tuned, the GM Performance Parts Supercharger
is available through your Pontiac dealer. All you have to do is ask.

Vibe’s available supercharger that boosts horsepower and torque up to 35 percent.
If you drive with an enthusiast’s mind, look to Vibe GT. With premium fuel in the
tank it unleashes 173 hp at 7600 rpm. It comes from a performance-tuned four
cylinder and a 6-speed manual at your fingertips (usually found only on high-end
performance cars). The powertrain launches Vibe GT 0-60 in the brow-raising low
eight-second range thanks to variable-valve timing with intelligence and a variable-
valve lift system that optimizes airflow through the valve area at high engine
speeds. Combine that with an array of high-performance components deep within,
and the all-aluminum block generates more horsepower than nearly every other
naturally aspirated inline-4 in its class — that includes Ford Focus ZX5 Premium,
hair-raising
Mazda Protegé 5, and Nissan Sentra 2.5 LE.
VARIABLE-VALVE TIMING INTELLIGENCE
VVT-i, variable-valve timing intelligence, is a high-tech setup in which intake-valve
timing is continuously varied throughout the rev range by hydraulically rotating
the camshaft relative to its drive gear. By altering when the valves open and close
in relation to engine speed, the engine’s ability to process air is increased. Since the
most effective way to improve an engine’s output is to increase its ability to process
air, VVT-i gives Vibe increased horsepower and spine-tingling performance.

6. road-gripping
FULL-TIME ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE SYSTEM
The full-time all-wheel-drive system uses a viscous coupling unit
with a torque split function, giving you endless options for road
trips. During normal driving conditions, nearly all torque generated
by the unit is directed to the front wheels, giving Vibe AWD the road
manners of a front-wheel-drive vehicle. When differences in wheel
speeds occur between the front and rear wheels — on slippery,
uneven, or low-traction surfaces — the viscous coupling unit
transfers torque to the wheels with the most grip, giving you
more sure-footed all-wheel-drive control. Vibe AWD shown in Neptune.

Vibe’s practical side is front and center when it comes to keeping you safe. The 2003 Vibe
earned a five-star safety rating — the highest safety rating possible — from the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for both driver and front passenger in a frontal
crash test. In fact, the 2003 Vibe earned a higher frontal crash-test safety rating than most other
vehicles in its weight class.
