GTO 360 hp, ls6 later?

Check this out : www.fiero.nl Look under general fiero chat category for thread about Bob Lutz visting Kettering University on Monday. Sorry a direct link to this thread wouldnt work.

sorry I'm slow tonight, but it took me a while to find it, based on your directions...

try warping here instead (http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/023886.html) to save others the "aggravation"

He also said that in a few years, the GTO will have the 405 HP Z06 engine, with 0-60 under 5 secs.

That means it won't weigh as much as some people were speculating...:D

Why couldn't it? a 36XXlb vehicle with 405hp could easily dip into the 4's for a 0-60. The m5 is near 2 tons and due to it's 394hp 5.0 is good for high 4's.

Gearing and torque curve are what matters when it comes to acceration, not a motors hp rating.

The Monaro is at least 15 pounds lighter than the 390+ horsepower Mustang Cobra, so with lower gearing (probally the reason for Mr. Lutz's GTO "gas guzzler" statement last spring) it should easily drop below 5 seconds.

Seems he reinterated not only the word on Solstice's pending production, but the possibility that each division may have a version.

What's also great is realizing that GTO seems like it will be around for awhile. :D

I just hope their not all 4-cylinders though. I was interested in the Solstice till they said it would get an Ecotec I4. Maybe they'll offer a V8 in them in the future? I hope, oh well, whatever, nevermind...(Nirvana)

Gab, you wont find this info on any other gm websites. If it is such an "aggrivation", next time i wont bother posting something like this here.

Sorry if I got you bothered. I used the word in jest; That's why the word was within double-quotes....

I was aiming at my ability to find the thread/info you posted (based on your directions), not at the source of the information itself.

bye bye!!! Have a nice day!!
