The twin turbo 3.6 v series is what id love to get my hands on, convert it to run on e85 or add alcohol injection, turn up the boost, remove the cat, and i bet 600hp?

I wouldnt doubt it. Find you a wrecked XTS and you're in the game.

I thought GM was running the 3.6 twin turbo in Indy, but now that Im looking I'm seeing a 2.2 TT?? I could've sworn I seen them running the 3.6 TT before.

What state do you live in?

Fa sho, I was wonderin if you were in one of those states that dont be trippin of off engine swaps, that's why I asked.

Good lookin on that link. ATS-V and an ATS-V+??!! Man they are really gunning for BMW and Mercedes and are serious about it too!! For it to already be one of the lightest cars in its segment(a drastic switch for GM) I bet those bitches are gonna slaughter the track.

And im sittin there watchin that video animation like where the fuck are the turbos???? I had to go back and watch the sophisticated intregration with the headers...quite nice indeed.

I hope this 3.6 proves itself in the way the 3.8 did. They say the early ones had timing chain problems which are supposed to be now resolved?
The new 3.6 is THEE V-6 for GM

Also, do you know of any truth with them releasing another 4.3?

the gnx was a single turbo though.

Tru, but the single turbo mill that they do have is the 2.0T in the Regal GS.

The question I ask is, can the 3.6TT fit in the Regal engine bay?

If so....then I think we could see a GNX

Execution is everything though, I would hate to see it half-assed.


edit: On second thought, I wouldnt want to see a regal GNX front wheel drive....

Get it on this rear wheel drive Alpha archetecture and THEN bring it on!....not on the current model though.

Yes, all overpriced imo but at least BMW is an import which would explain a higher price point. A 4 cylinder Cadillac is still just a 4 cylinder GM- nothing "luxury" about this one...

Another perfect example of US market consumer manipulation is the Toyota Yaris commercials they show in London. Granted the Yaris is a crapper, but they offering them (London) 1 year of insurance paid with the purchase. Name one car sold in the US that is offered with 1 year free insurance....No US incentive to buy any of this garbage really. We are being bamboozled once again...

shits crazy homie
