anyone know anything about that?

I tended to dismiss that (rarely heard) rumour as wishful thinking. The question was nearly always twin turbo V6 or naturally aspirated V8. Turns out its a twin turbo V6 with 450 hp.

I agree. It makes no sense to have an ATS-V and V+ when they could have just made the LF3 ATS the Vsport like it is for the CTS and XTS.

That sounds good.

Like it a lot. I would also love to hear it just cruising at a low to mid rpm as well as I bet it has a nice growl to it at those speeds as well.

I just noticed that I had failed to notice the '+' after the V in DenverTaco's post. I thought he was just talking about the 'regular' V. The gist of my post still stands though, more or less.

I think the turbo does this car justice.. Not overly loud but quiet killer like..

Is chevy ever going to update the 6.0 litre V8 in the 2500 pickups. I can't figure out why they still make it when they have the 6.2 which is more fuel efficient more powerful overall much better engine. Only 2 things I can think of would be cost but really how much more could it cost to make the 6.2 , or they just are saving the 6.2 for their premium trucks and SUV's.

HD trucks are on a different product cycle than the light duties so powertrain updates won't come until 2016ish.

I keep staring at those ATS-V's.. I hate the coupe's shape but it's slowly infecting me.. want to..

yeah wasn't sure was just messing around building trucks other night to check out price Colorado/silverado 1500/2500/3500. and was amazed that 2015 2500 base engine is still the same 6.0 that we have at our shop in a 2004 2500. That is a long time with near little update and they did a major refresh few years ago thought they would have addressed it but I guess then ford still had the 5.4 as base engine so why bother.

As in MY 2016? Or 2016 as in MY 2017? Any substantive rumors on the next-gen Duramax?
