In car forums past about 1992..FI is Forced Induction because it's assumed you're talking about a fuel injected engine.

Yep. This thing would have smoked my 2007 GT when it was stock, and obliterated my 04 GT when it was stock lol....actually hell it would have probably ran down my 04 even with the mods I did lol.

Not on this forum. ALL gen 5/6 cars are fuel injected so it wouldn't make any sense to mention it. I don't think you can even buy a carburated car anymore (new).

Same with my 04 GTO. Car and Driver tested it as 0-60 in 5.3 sec and 14.0 @ 102 mph.

Yep, I test drove a V6 a couple of weeks ago and that thing would have run circles around my 4th gen WS6 Trans Am as well. Impressive car for only having 6 cylinders...

I'm not sure there is a turbo kit by any company out there yet for it. You could build one..but..holy $$$

Part of the joy of the V6 is it's more sportsy car nature..I almost feel like a turbo would spoil it.

Give it time. I expect to see both supercharger and turbo kits available down the road.

Way back when, even before reveal, I had it in my mind that if I liked the 6th gen and wanted one, I'd just get another V6. I liked my 5th gen, and I knew the 6th gen would be lighter and faster. I didn't "need" the V8. But I also had more money to spend, and I wanted the 2LT this time around with some options.

Then it dawned on me that a mostly loaded V6 would cost very near the same as a 1SS with a few options. When I found out the 1SS got the 8" driver's screen (REALLY wanted that), AND I could get supplier pricing...it was all over. Went with the SS.

But I would've had no regrets getting the V6 either if I didn't want to spend what I did. Great car.

I did the same thing. Loaded up a 2LT like mine is now, saw the price, and said **** it. I guess I'm getting a V8. I like the body better anyway.

My main regret about getting the V6 is that resale value for my car will be much lower than for the V8's. If I thought I could swing the extra money upfront I would've been all over an SS, since the lower depreciation of the V8 will make up for it over the next 5-6 years...

Oh well love my V6 !!!
