    you can sorta hear the turbos when they wind up, but the exhaust sound is the only problem...still sounds like a v6

    so would you rather have a fast and a lot of TQ but still get great mileage but have only a v6 (which im sure you could put on bigger turbos :crazy:)

    or a v8? shoot itll even hang with the 6.2.....


    IMO id take that v6. ill take the bashing from everyone for having a v6 in a 1/2 ton...but ill be able to pull more, quicker off the line and go farther....
