Caddillac STS still looking good
Sevilles still looking stronger than ever with 2 optional motors. I would like to see that V-6 with the 3800 supercharged

L67 > all v6 engines ( well except the GN turbo 3.8 )

HP wins races. In a drag race >99% of all 3800'* will hit their torque peak once, while you hit the HP every time. You need a good balance, the 3.6 does that IMO. lighter aluminum engines don't hurt either. Just wait till the 3.9 version comes out.

I was speaking more of the potential of the L67 than the stock specs. True the aluminum block is lighter, but the potential of the L67 is far higher than the potential of the new VVT'*. They are already so optimized that it would take big $$$ to get them to put out more. Unlike how cheap and easy it is to get an L67 over 300 crack horsepower.

The laser guided cruise control is amazing on the new STS, and I would just love to have the new 4.6L 320 bhp V8 with AWD...truly an impressive machine worthy of competing with the benchmark Germans.
