Bowtie guy, the Bently's TT V8 has a ton of torque. Peak HP numbers only tell about 1/4 of the story. And 0-60 in 5.2 is high performance for a luxury land-yacht weighing north of 5000 lbs, whereas the Cobalt SS weighs under 3000 and is actually aerodynamic. I really cringe whenever people here think pricing should be solely tied to HP or 0-60 times.

did you know that v8 design uses the same casting for the block since the 1950's or 1960's (Cant remember which) that they have continuously used. They have changed bore and stroke and head design but still use the same block
