I figured we needed a new topic to bat about - it's too quiet out there...
What's everbody's opinion regarding the in-gear performance of the new engine, considering the US car's added weight? We all know about the 4.9-ish 0-60 time quoted. I'm referring to everyday driving - you know, when driving along at 2,500 to 3,500 RPM. Will we have to drop down two gears to get to the meaty torque, or will the engine pull hard at this rev level?
In other words, do you think the new combo will be better/worse/same as the Euro setup? Remeber - our car has put on some pounds...
Just thought you might enjoy discussing this.
