I now have a goal for my V6....
I was already debating SC or TT, but now this has pushed me. I want my V6 to be like that. I love the look, suede interior, etc.

Home page.....nice.

As said before, they are being nice on the 3.6 with putting out 420hp. It can go further. At about 500 horse is when it starts running into fueling issues with stock components but I'm guess they don't want to push the envelope too far.

Definitely will be looking at that car if they release it. 30 MPG, how could you go wrong considering the news the last few days about Iran. I'd make a bet based on his comments in front of the GM Exec that this should be the next Z28. Leno is the perfect pitch man for GM.

To put things in perspective...what we thought was a "Z28" back when he said those things, is now the ZL1...This could be a peek into the future, though...you never know!

We all know that it is impossible to re-create a V8 sound with a V6, but those that follow the various V6 builds here know that it is possible to create an aggressive sounding V6 that sounds very good with a much lower than stock sound (and no I'm talking 350Z like)

This car does sound pretty good with a nice low tone even from the outside.

If GM is thinking about moving a car like this forward....exhaust tone needs to be something they pay special attention to. They could add helmholtz pipes to kill the drone.

I basically see that some of the experimentation on Leno's TC V6 lead to the designs on the ZL1. Notice the hood scoops and rear wing. Leno also stated that they reduced the weight in the front of the vehicle, just like they evened it out on the ZL1 to a 50/50 ratio. Leno's thought and words lead to the ZL1 not leading to a Z28. This was an 2009 and the car was built a year or 2 ago. Meaning this lead to the creation of the ZL1.
