This is what I'm worried about. The magazines, ford guys, dodge guys, and everyone else will feel even better about themselves if chevy advertises a "330" or whatever horse V6, that is basically very little to no faster than the current car. Current LLT makes 278 torque (if I remember correctly) and that much more than the current 3.0. Hopefully the new engine will also have more torque than the LLT...

...or if anything, hopefull they offer a gearing option!
