Rumors about the Return of the Grand National with a 3.6 turbo engine.

omg i love grand nationals, the GNX is the best car ever. 355 torque at 2000 RPMS lol

sounds to me as if the 60* will be better, 240 > 200. So in turn, 60* > 90. Face it, its gone, time keeps going, crappy f-bodies dont.

[Question]

Sounds to me that this thread is a month old...

60 degree has always been a better architecture for a V6, if everything else is equal.

60 degree better?

Yea right... 2.8, 3.1, 3.4

Wonder why no one likes to mod 2.8 v6 fieros. Seems like everyone is going with a 90 degree 3800 v6

Oh and the grand national, yea thats a 90 degree v6 also.

As far as balance and harmonics go, the 90* v6 sucks nutz.

[T-Punk]

if they up the displacement in the 60* i wouldnt mind them but i dont see them getting up over 3.6.

[TraviepooCmro]

There isnt anything wrong with the 3.4's, ya, they were a bit weaker, but they can pick up on it, the 60* engines are like that nerd in highschool, everyone picks on them, then 10 years down the road at the reunion they are rich and kick everyone's a**

My car is 10 years old, thats a long time, lol
