This may be a stupid question, but does the 2008 g6 base with the v6 on the back have the same horspower as a 2008 g6 gt because they both have the 3500?

Re: g6 v6 3500 vs. g6 gt
The GT has a lower axle at 3.29 versus the standard V6 at 3.05. The GT also nets you the tapshift, chrome wheels and some other add ons but nothing as far as performance goes other than the axle ratio.
The tapshift also consumes more fuel (EPA) than the standard 4 speed auto. I went with the tapshift (GT ONLY!) just to have better engine braking, and to lessen gear hunting when driving around town. I only use the auto mode maybe 20% of the time, mainly in slow traffic so I can spend more brain power on changing the radio stations/CD changer (aftermarket trunk mounted 12disc).
I get decent mileage even with the auto stick. Around town I keep the engine in the 2-3K range on the tach. Anything more around town and the torque falls off fast above 3400rpm. Nothing like a good ol' pushrod engine!
If I bought the car solely for my wife to use, I would've went with the standard V6. I4 seemed a bit noisy with city driving. The base V6 I drove cruised at 105km/h under 1800rpm where as the GT is close to 2K rpm at the same speed. She never uses the auto stick, and can't drive a manual transmission either (that'll change soon), not to mention the fact that she's more of a sedate driver in just being able to get from A to B without having any fun behind the wheel.2006 Pontiac G6 GT (stock) - 44,000kms
