Hmmm with the 3.6 v6 and 6spd auto, the impala should get 30mpg or a tick more since I bet it still will wiegh slightly lighter than the camaro.

That's not hard to fix. One tune with HPTuners and you have 260+ hp in your Turbo Regal.

And i sure do love the Regal GS, but its no full size!

Doesn't a nonGM tune kinda destroy the powertrain warranty though? They really need to be more competitive with the Regals power.

I do know GM is hard at work tearing apart the 2.0T and redoing it. So hopefully we'll see a much more improved engine soon.
