  • So the Solstice GXP's engine out-rates it's tranny...

    Was digging around and found this... kind of funny

    GXP is gonna put out at 260 ft-lbs

    http://media.gm.com/us/powertrain/en...lstice_SAE.pdf (damn nice torque curve for a 4-banger)

    and it's tranny is only rated to 250 ft-lbs




    I know they have factors of safety in there... but still, should be interesting :-p

      That is funny. They will probably tune it down. That or they could do the right thing and build a better tranny.

        They won't tune it down. What they will do is change the rating on the tranny to be just slightly higher than the output of the engine (just like the F40 in the G6. The Saab 9-3 2.8Turbo puts out more than our engines using the same tranny)

          ^^ Exactly. Manufacturers will never say that their product is rated for too much higher than stock.
          04 CTS-V......like a G6, but with an extra 200hp, a proper transmission, and it is correct wheel drive:
