That's not far from where Ford would like to put us as well.

 

LOL!

 

six pack 3.5

first it lacks two cylinders, second (i realize 280hp is 280hp) but i rode in [and drove] a pacifica with the 'standard' output and that thing was a dog. I think my 185hp 92 full size truck, complete with ext cab and 186k miles, would give it a run for its money. edit: the pacifica had awd, so maybe i was unfairly not factoring in drivetrain loss.

 

That sounds good, I expect the six-pack to be a V6. I'd like to see GM do some high 200 HP range V6s. 300HP DOHC 3.8L HF V6 would be nice for the CTS and Buicks.

 

another bad thing about using on a v6... 'ricers' and/or people who dont know any better are going to think 'six pack' is a new term for v6, and before you know it there will be six pack emblems on civics.

edit: essentially, i dont mind six pack v6... but on the other hand, i think the first six pack engine needs to be a v8 to keep enthusiasts happy, and so people dont get the wrong idea of what a six pack is. That one looks like its desdigned for v6, because wouldnt the center two have to be bigger for a v8 setup?
