They have better torque than a comparable V8.
They sound cooler with the right exhaust.
And the big plus, they are NOT a belly-button motor. |

well, um no....
4.8 v8 and the inline 6 in a trailblazer (n/a) don't see it with killer ft lb #
They sound cooler with the right exhaust. to some
And the big plus, they are NOT a belly-button motor,, and there is a reason for that, wasn't a lack of them being build. |
