Here is the official Buick website conerning the 400 hp twin turbo v-6 RWD Velite.
I posted it hoping that if there is alot of activity on it they will take notice and maybe a light will go on over at GM.
Keep passing it a round

Hopefully someone will transplant that motor and trans into our GN's and sell it as a drop off package. That combo is going to make and handle a ton of power. The Ecotec 3.6L TT will probably be the baddest motor ever mass produced when its all said and done.

And the trannys that go behind all the Ecotec's can take massive abuse. Just check out what the front wheel drive 4 cylinder eco can do.

I read elsewhere that they recently cancelled that platform across the board. (Zeta?)

 

[GNguy]

yup....they cancelled the zeta line because they put more money into R&D of their trucks.....atleast thats what i heard.

Yes, it was slated for 2008 but "delayed" pushed back, etc. 2008 is too late IMO anyway; 2009?..... too little too late.
Maybe they are waiting for Daimler Chysler or some one else to beat them to the punch.
