#20, the real question we should be asking is, why isn't it selling?

#19, Huge? What the fuck are you talking about? Displacment? Not really. Physical size? I don't know if you're familier with fr0d engines or not but my 4.6 has physical dimensions similer to a fucking big block while possesing less displacment than a 302
#21, Why isn't what selling? Bonnevilles? 3.8 V6s? GM products in general?

Pushrod OHV is one of the most compact ways to package a V-shaped engine. Period. The main handicap of most domestic sixes typically involves poor flow characteristics. Chevy's LS family of engines provide pretty solid proof that it's quite possible to make a compact, aluminum intensive, thoroughly modern engine using pushrods, and extract excellent potential. The major shortcomings of the domestic sixes are that the manufacturers didn't commit to sufficiently intensive cylinder head development programs because it wasn't cost effective to do so, and they were interested in saving money.

#21, because the Grand Prix is a VERY similar car for what you get, excluding the GXP's of both models

#26, That's all the info I really needed, thanks. I guess when you think about it, it's not that big, I mean even a 350Z has 3.5L engine so I guess I'm talking and not thinking, I do that often. It's probably just not selling well because it's tucked behind a bunch of boring rebaged GM's and is thought to be a bad car since of Gm's reputation.

#28, yeah, sounds pretty right. What lemming said is quite true. As what Snake said too, the ford modular 4.6 is a monster.

#28, your thinking displacement icecop, which has little to do with actual engine size.. that 350Z 3.5L is probably physically a bit bigger than GM's 3.8L, or even the new 3.9L...
having the cams in the heads makes the engine taller and wider than a pushrod engine.

You should see the Ford 3.8/4.2 alongside the 4.6. Even with the comically oversized intake manifold on the splitport six, it is simply dwarfed by the V8.

Looks pretty good.
#21, Actually, I heard that in quite a few big cities, Pontiac is one of the fastest growing brands.
