In the early 90's GMC built a cute little S-10 pickup called a Syclone. It had a 4.2 ltr. V-6 Turbocharged to beginning at 290 Hp. The truck was AWD and......it was an Isuzu!Originally Posted by kodiak
You’re right there are some new naturally aspirated freaks of nature out there right now,
but that’s why I said there’s not a lot of V6’s out there with significantly more power.
I didn’t say there wasn’t any. That French monstrosity in the 350z is pretty cool. The
only thing I don’t like about it is it’s French.
The (N/A) heavy hitters in Germany right now is the Porsche Cayenne V6 at 290hp and the
VW Touareg V6 at 280hp.
Back in 2001 the most powerful (N/A) v6 you could buy was in the Acura NSX-T
3.2 L V-6 engine with 290 hp @ 7,100 rpm and 224 lb-ft of torque and it
still had less torque then the Isuzu 3.5.
In 2001 The most powerful (N/A)V6 made in America was the Chrysler
EGG. High-Output 3.5L in the Plymouth Prowler. at 253hp and it was the
only American V6 with more power then the Isuzu 3.5.
In 2001 The most powerful (N/A) V6 made in Germany was the Mercedes 3.2L E32 at 218hp.
PS: You’re right about the transmission, but the engine is hard to beat.
So what else could be the perfect replacement? A turbo V-6 fitting in an Isuzu truck with AWD and a minimum of 290 Hp. Seems like the perfect combination to me!!!!
PS: what do you mean a French engine in a 350Z???
