Now that you V-6 folks have the performance..... you might need to repair that performance enhanced motor with money out of your own billfold!

When you think about it a V-8 doesn't sound bad and it is a SS!

I know from personal experience the American made factory Turbo engines are very durable and run very strong. Both GM and ford have direct injected turbo engines that put down some very strong numbers. Ford's 3.5L puts out 365 Hp, that's 104 Hp per Liter in size. GM has a 2.0L that puts out 290 Hp, that's 145 Hp per Liter. Their torque numbers are just as good. For the 6.2 to put out the same numbers it would have to produce just under 900 Hp.
