The Specs page says "N/A", but I'd figure they'd at least give it the Pilot's power plant and it's only available with the V6.elwesso wrote:Did it say anything about powerplants?

The J32 series motors in the CL-S & TL-S produced 260hp through 03. The 04 TL (Cl dropped) upped the hp to 270. No "S" model slated yet, from what I understand.
The J35A3 is potent enough (strong crank & 6 bolt splayed caps, just needs steel rods (to replace the powdered metal ones) & JE forged pistons, (I have two sets in my garage right now)
Still not enought torque to haul that thing around with any cargo in it, IMHO.
I bet they'll follow what the aftermarket brought to the table, a 3.5 SOHC VTEC like in the new RL. Not huge hp gains, but a slight torque advantage.
I think it's ok, not as much GM body cladding as the Avalanche, again IMHO. A 5 foot bed beats the crap out of a 4'6" one.
Plus, I bet we'd have a SC in less than a year from release date, headers, catback, hi flow cats, plenty enough room for a custom aftercooler, etc, somebody stop me.
Lordy, what would a Honda V8 be like though?????

Re: (Rex)
They also make a really sweet 3.0 liter V10 which makes close to 1000 BHP that took them to a solid 2nd in this years F1 championship Go Taku!Rex wrote:They do make a 240hp/242lb-ft 3.5 liter V6. Though a QX56 size/strength motor would be necessary to really play in that game.
I don't think it would work in a truck though
