i just kinda wish that chevy used the 3.5l in the new comaro so we would have a tap in the after market.

im a little confused, so the v6 camaro and the v6 malibu are the same engine???

i thought the v6 camaro was 300 hp and DOHC. i dought they would put that in a malibu.

unless im mistaken.

id like to though the camaros v6 into my monte if i dont trade it first. i got a closer look at my 3500 after all the work and am very dissapointed.

idk if i got a lemon engine, or what but am not impressed with its longevity.

The Malibu and the Camaro, and the Cadillac CTS all share the 3.6L. Of course the one in the Malibu is twisted sideways and drives the front wheels, but its the same basic engine.

The Malibu V6 has 260 HP
And the CTS/ Camaro get 304 HP (they added direct injection to the 3.6L for these cars, which is where the extra power comes from)
