Nice HP and torque bump on the 3500 oops 3700 I-5.

Wish that 3.7L would go into the Equinox!! Nice.

NorthSilverado · 04-22-2006, 05:11 PM

The new powertrain numbers are definately a good thing, now this isnt the lowest horsepower vehicle in its class

Jig Saw · 04-22-2006, 05:15 PM

Nice improvements

mr_bots · 04-22-2006, 05:16 PM

While I'm sure the 3.7 will be an upgrade from the 3.5, I'm disappointed at the rpm at which the torque peaks. 4600rpm up from 2800rpm, hopefully it's still a pretty broad power band.

Bamarado · 04-22-2006, 05:23 PM

WOW 242 hp. I think I might trade in my '05.

Great observation. That engine would work well with the 'Nox.

steve333 · 04-22-2006, 05:33 PM

Needs a new dash.
And a 6 cylinder engine.

smk4565 · 04-22-2006, 05:35 PM

The Nox has a transversely mounted engine doesn't it? The 3700 is a read drive engine. Good too see more power. A Displacement on demend v8 one day might be a good idea some day.

Yep it does. If a V6 or I6 won't fit, there's no chance you'd see a V8 in there.

mr_bots · 04-22-2006, 05:41 PM

Now it just needs a completely new interior, those seats are awful.

stevecmh · 04-22-2006, 05:47 PM

nice. finally more HP

GotAWD · 04-22-2006, 05:53 PM

a V-8 with DoD would be great. does the 4.8L have it?

member12 · 04-22-2006, 06:29 PM

Sweet.

Anyone have any idea what the new wheels look like?
