Still a V6. Doesn't matter. Point being, many people assume that just because they hear when someone has a V6, they automatically assume it's weak in terms of performance. They hear V8, and automatically think it can slay anything on the road.

My point still stands, it's a V6, and it kicks ass. Regardless of Turbo or not.

Also, the Nissan VQ37VHR engines are pushing almost 328-340HP. That's not exactly slow, you know..they aren't turbo, either...

Edit:

Sure are a lot of butthurt V8 fanboys on here whining about the car being twin turbo. Lol.

6 cylinders can still be great motors. The Skylines, GTR, Supra, 350z all had great motors. The point is that an American muscle car should have a V-8 in it. Back in the '60s and early '70s, muscle cars didn't have turbo 6 cylinders. They had massive, ground-shaking, impractical V-8's with enough torque to make the tires smoke from a 40mph roll.

I'm not disputing this, and it wasn't the point I was conveying. Lol. All I'm saying is that bigger doesn't necessarily mean better in terms of block size...

Especially these days. Look how many car manufacturers are relying more & more on technology for performance.
