What do I have???

[JuneBug_1776]

I did a search and came up dry, but I want to know exactly what type of car I have? I bought a 2007 G6 in October. When I open the hood it says 3500 V6. Is there a difference between the 3.5L and 3500? Aren't they the same. The car is badged with V6, so I'm guessing it's just a Base V6 car; not a GT or GTP. If I have the 3.5L, is it making the 224HP?

Thanks.

Re: What do I have???

You have a 2007 Base model G6 with a 3.5L VVT Engine (3500) that puts out 224 horsepower.

More specifically this is the engine you have:

LZ4
The LZ4 3500 is an OHV engine based on the 3.9 L LZ9 V6. It was introduced for the 2006 model year in the Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo. It includes continuously variable cam timing (fixed overlap). It has a cast iron block and aluminum heads. Output is 211 hp (156.5 kW) at 5800 rpm and 214 ft·lbf (298 N·m) at 4000 rpm. Bore is 99 mm, stroke is 76 mm for a displacement of 3510 cc. Horsepower rating changed for the 2007 model year to Horsepower: 224 @ 5800 rpm and Torque: 220 @ 4000 rpm. The Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6, and Saturn Aura are to be equipped with this engine for 2007 (previously the Malibu and G6 had the non-VVT 201 hp (150 kW) 3.5 L LX9).



Basically our 2007 base models put out more hp than the pre-2007 GT models

I think I need more power though...Looking into the GT-R Exhaust and a few other mods. Thanks!

My pre 07 GT has beaten a Base model with ease.
Gear ratio is different too.
Of course I have a few upgrades....

Re: What do I have???

So which is faster? The 2005-06 GT or the 2007+ V6?

Re: What do I have???

torque is about the same, I'd think they're about even, i'll take a race with a base 07, of course my car isn't exactly stock either
