Yeah, according to GM's site....it will have a 3.6L V6, 6 spd auto - 252 hp & 251 ftlbs of torque. That's pretty weak. My 04 Grand Prix GTP has more then that....granted, its a sedan.....but jeez....that's rather pathetic...

Since the Grand Prix is goingto be discontinued after this year (unfortuneatly), they ought to get the GXP model an updated version of the supercharged 3800. Some ram airs and perhaps a smaller pulley on the supercharger along with the 6-speed auto (if it can handle the torque). That would be one fun car if they did that. I wonder if the GXP might be a little more powerful since it has air scoops in the hood and they haven't mentioned the added amount amount of power.

That doesn't make any sense. The G6 GTP was supposed to have that powertrain for this year. Did they just drop the GTP badge all of a sudden? Their starting to treat the new GXP badge like Dodge treats the R/T badge. A trim level. If they are going to offer a GXP model on the G6, they ought to offer a traditional domestic style powertrain since that is Pontiac's market.

This is a 3.6L V6, which explains the smaller power levels. I agree, the 3.8L V6 would be more then capable of putting down 300hp easily......
Switching to a smaller pulley on the 3.8L would be more then sufficient for power gains....but I doubt a 6spd auto would work too well for the torque...
