Could do some of the old Chevrolet engine names too, but those would be lost on most that don't have white hair (or none at all).

Turbo Thrust (348-409)
Turbo Fire (small block)
Turbo Jet (Big Block)
Turbo Thrift (194-230-250 L6)
Turbo Air (Corvair)
May have forgotten some

I always liked the original Buick V6 being the Fireball V6.

Encore? Blegh, sorry, my personal opinion

Maybe, besides model names, we add some generic (and GM-centric) stuff too, like (in not much of a particular order):

Posts like a Vortec V-6
Posts like a turbo 5-banger <<< This would have to be more-advanced than the 4-bangers
Posts like a small block
Posts like a big block
Posts like a mid-engine <<<this would have to be more advanced than "Posts like a Corvette"
Posts like a V-16 <<<an ode to the olden days and that one recent concept Cadillac
Posts like a V-5 Diesel <<<yes really V-5, that would have to be a low one . . . or maybe a really high one because it is very unique
Posts like a Banshee <<<The Pontiac concept, probably somewhere lower than a Corvette but higher than a Camaro
Posts like a Blackhawk <<<Ode to the Buick concept/tribute car
Posts like an SSEi <<<Gotta have an ode to the Bonneville in this forum, they barely get mentioned any more
Posts like a Custom Deluxe <<<This should probably be a less-advanced one
Posts like a Silverado <<<This should probably be a more-advanced one
Posts like a Wildcat
Posts like a Centurion
