GM is coming out with a balling as shit new engine. I know the VQ is pwn in this category, but I'm surprised (and impressed) that GM came out with a damn good new V6.
3.6L
302HP @ 6300RPM and 272 ft-lb @ 5200RPM
vs
4.6L
320 HP @ 6400 RPM and 315 LB-FT @ 4400 RPM
And it's going to be matched up with the 6L50 6 Speed automatic transmission. 7000 RPM redline. It gets the 2008 Cadillac STS up to 60 in 6.5. I like the sound of it, I would have to hear it though, if it sounds nice then the deal is sealed. I wonder how much I would be able to get the engine for The Olds needs a new engine, the 3.8 is spewing engine coolant all over the place .
