I finally broke down and bought myself a full size pickup truck, XLT package with rear locking differential. I wanted the 3.5L TT v6, but I would've had to step up to a $65k package to do so. I went with the 2.7 and I'm impressed with the power output. I did drive the 3.5 and I was able to break the tires loose. It would be pretty cool to put a 3.5 in a turbo Regal. Could easily get 600whp out of it and lots of torque and not have to worry about the block splitting in half. Anyway, it's a really nice truck. Ford has done a pretty good job with their powertrain selection and products. GM needs to start offering smaller displacement blocks with turbos on them if they want to stay in the race with Ford on the pickup truck line. GM has 3.0L TT that outputs 400hp and 400foot#s of torque in their powertrain lineup or hell place a single turbo on the 4.3L v6 or twin turbo the 3.6L.
