3.6 liters, twin turbos, 420 hp, 430 ft/lbs. torque ... look familiar? (hint: SRT)...


your government dollars at work lol

 

Looks like most of the offerings from car companies today trying to make power and still get good milage.

My boss has a BMW 335i, twin turbo 3.0 litre with a tune he is 400HP and gets 20/30MPG all day while romping on it...

When vette is talking about a boosted 6, you can see the writing on the wall, the germans were just the first to get it right IMHO

 

J.,

hate to bust ya', but you aren't the first to see this handwriting...Love ya'.

 

Exactly, it has been while in the making, decades depending on how you look at it.

 

Actually, Roission (the follow on distributors of Noble in the US) have been running a twin turbo Ford Duratec 3 liter for 450 ponies for several years. This kind of engine would make sense on smaller sports cars like the Crossie and Solstice than Caddies IMO. You can get an aftermarket turbo kit for the last two generations of GM High Feature V6 engines with similar gains.

While it's sad we won't see any aftermarket activity on the new Pentastar series, hopefully Chrysler will find a more sporty platform for it than the Challenger.

 

The ATS-V is going to be an awesome car.. I really like the way the ATS looks, they are really doing a good job with their new body styles IMO. I was really impressed at the NY Auto show, it seems like nobody makes crappy cars any more.
