Sounds pretty good on paper. I like that they are all available as a 6 spd.
What exactly is a 4.5 link suspension

Sounds like a pretty decent, modern car ... everybody start saving yet? Wonder why they only have the 4cyl fueling in the automatic version ...

I like the 11.3 to 1 compression on the 6cyl...
The TR6060 and the .57 final drive with a 3:45 rear gear will make for great autobahn cruiser as well behind the 6.3 liter
I ALSO love the fact taht it says 4 piston Brembo's on all four corners on this badboy. Pic's arent too bad either to be honest:)

Got 2 questions: 1. Are the MPG figures calculated differently than before? Highway MPG even in the V6 is worse than in the LS1. 2. Who needs 21" wheels?

Yes, MPG numbers changed, they changed to reflect the average speed on Interstates at 70mph as opposed to the old calculations reflecting 55 mph, it made a HUGE difference in milage ratings on cars, it is also MUCH more spot on...

They changed Those, and they changed Power ratings on all automobiles about a year ago, I'm sure Roy knows more about it, but for instance, certain manufacters power ratings were effected, ie. A 4.0 liter Toyota was rated at 240, now it's rated at 236, most had to stop rounding up, and with the MPG it was changed, you can find more information out about it at mpg.com or something like that, the site taht does the mpg for all cars with the new averages, even on older cars.
Supposedly, anything below 13 mpg comes up as an N/A in the ratings when yoru looking, for instance, look at the big block chevy trucks on the web sites, or a ford etc..

From what I understand, they are trying to commonize the power rating system as the imports were notorious for over rating their Hp. Ratings are now based on SAE specs. if I am not mistaken.
