The V6 is Turbo Posted by B Millar [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: 9.5 engines, kejascja, Thu, 17 Apr 2008 06:53:50 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
As far as performance goes, it depends on what version of the 2.3t 4-cyl you're talking about. There's a HOT (High Output Turbo) found in the Aeros with 230-250hp and an LPT (light pressure turbo) in the Linears with 175-185hp depending on the year. The V6 3.0t lies somewhere in between with 200 hp and 230 ft-lbs of torque. If you're looking to tune your car to get more performance go with an I4. There's basically nothing available that's worth the cost on the V6. The V6 delivers a smoother power band. The turbo lag is much less pronounced than in the 4 cylinders, but even they don't have much lag. I have never driven a 4 cyl but I've got a 2001 V6 that I like very much. It's a blast to drive and really seems to get up and go when you need it to, especially if you let the turbo do all the work.
