2.7L V6 GT version has 170 horses.Yep! 170 horses at 6000rpm, 181 lb.ft at 4000rpm
compare it to this
1.8 litre inline-4 engine (albeit with Turbo)
180 horses at 5200rpm, 178 lb.ft at 1950rpm!!
and forget about spending $$ just for 10HP boost. With a 15-minute US$300 ECU upgrade, I now have about 225 hp at 5200 rpm and 240 lb.ft of torque at 2000 rpm.
still 600km per 55 litre tank. versus 450km per 55 litre tank of the V6 Hyundai*.
* The Hyundai gas milage is based on what my neighbour told me. He used to own a Tiburon V6 until last week. He is now a happy Jetta Wolfsburg owner. Very similar bells and whistles as the V6 Hyundai for only a couple of grand more (he bought the Wolfsburg for only Cdn $25,400 plus PDI and taxes).
