NOTE 2: a word for a moment on direct injection, and VVT. Direct Injection spritzes Gasoline (or whatever fuel) directly into the Cyllinder, whixh actually cools the air a little, compressing it - albeit minor compression. And VVT can alter Valve timing on-the-fly, which gives an increase in both performance and Fuel economy. It also eliminates the need for a conventional EGR (exaust gas return) system. Together, this is a powerful tool for creating power: i.e. the 300hp V6 that Caddy is using utilizes these advancements together, which, IMO, is the whole reason a V6 of this size can reach those numbers.
And it was appreciated! :p haha!
