Re: G6 GXP mated with 6 spd Manual.
That Concept G6 had a 3.9L HO version with 275hp as stated above. It was the same 3.9L LZ9 in the GTP for 2006 and GT Sport for 2007+ except it was 3 Valves per cylinder instead of 2 valves per cylinder. the F40 being mated to it makes sense as the 3.9L LZ9 was the only G6 ever to be equipped and mated to the F40. It was not the 3.6L
Funny story though. The G6 was never supposta get the LZ9 3.9L. It was supposta get the 3.6L. However it came out in 2006 for the CTS and was in short supply. Dealers were demanding a high performance version of the G6, so they shoved in the 3.9L they had excess from bumping up production for W-Body cars. Then 2007 they changed it to the intended LY7 3.6L. The F40 at that time was only used in Saab's besides the G6 and apparently didn't find it a good enough market to warrant funding to configure and test them for the 3.6L.
