That's why I got the V6. The V8 would get me into trouble

Hell, the V6 has more than enough power to get you in trouble.

Especially with the ZEX kit strapped to it. 344 rwhp? Yes please.

I thought my G6 GXP Street Edition was fast at 252 horsepower The sad part was it had a 3.6 engine in it also

I enjoyed the 3.6 never had any issues the short 24 months I had the car I use to own a 2006 G6 GTP before I got the 08 and my engine was the rare 3.9

After much thought and deliberation I have decided to hold off on F/I this fall. Maybe I'll do it next year, but who knows? As much as I want it, I'm having a hard time justifying spending 8+ thousand on F/I when there are more important things I could do with the 8k. I have a feeling it would only get me in trouble anyway.

My parents have an Aura with that engine. For a while, that was the most powerful car I had ever driven. Top spot was taken over by a V6 Camaro less than a year later. Record stands at an L99 equipped SS.

Ah yes, the 3900. Final version of the venerable 3800, which came about when someone had the idea to chop off 2 cylinders from a V8 a few decades ago. Moderate power, awesome torque, and legendary durability. They shall be missed.
