Just like the solid roller ltwon back in the day ,made way more stock power than a base 5.7 lt , the 2nd gen ltwon was lightyears better than a t.p.I setup and this one is far better than a ls3 … what really matters is what’s in this pic [http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/334895\_10151190689483930\_1067803216\_o.jpg](http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/334895_10151190689483930_1067803216_o.jpg) That’s a DFI injection system and I doubt timing chains will be an issue, because based on the front cover in the first pic it looks like they are sticking with a pushrod configuration. However those are the newer generation of coils. Prior statements preticated on those pics being of what GM actually plans on releasing to the public. ---

I personally am glad to see Buick is trying to get back into the hearts of car enthusiasts. I think it looks sick. a TT V6, damn. 😃 ---

The Buick is a t/t v6 not a v8 Yes I know you were refering the the 3.6s we still have them trickle in the dealership for chains.:banghead:banghead To say that job blows is an understatement, the issue was the originals weren’t heat treated correctly is 2010 and the oil life monitor is set for too long of an interval. That issue has been resolved on the newer model years and I personally haven’t seen any issues in the camaro, just the traverse. Either way the V6, 6MT camaros actually move pretty well for what they are so even NA should make for a fun 4 door daily that gets reasonable MPG. ---

The ATS fucking MOVES with the 3.6, exhaust note is a little annoying though. Driven a few of them, haven’t been in a 6MT one yet though. ---

This car is pretty sweet, I’m liking the styling on almost all of the current Buicks as well. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/buick-to-reintroduce-grand-national-gnx/265611.md?page=1)
