B. SS is more or less GMs version of a "luxury" trim. It doesn't mean power like it used to. In all honesty, calling a 200 hp car SS is a joke - even though it looks nice on the outside, it doesn't have the goods to back up the badge.
Almost all v6 have 300hp now. The L67 for its time was ballsy. Dont compare an 8 year old motor to a new one. Hell Mopars pentastar v6 has over 300hp, but look at the v6 they had 8 years ago it had 187hp. So the 240hp L67 looks pretty ballsy to me.

All those high HP v6 are DOHC, direct injected, tuned engines, that are basically at their peak HP already.

You really can't do much for them. Where's the fun in that?

Oh and for the record in 2004 when the L67 hit the monte the mustang v6 had a massive 190hp. 50hp less then the supercharged monte. The v6 mustang also had 60 less ft lbs of torque. Hell with those numbers the base 3.8 in the monte beats the mustang. The L67 was only 20hp less then the Mustang GT V8 in 2004. Please if you compare something do it in the same year. And in 2006 when we dropped in a v8 we still had more hp then a mustang gt and our 3.9 v6 was more powerful then the 4.0 v6 mustang ran (by 30 hp).

Figured it would be caprice baced. 2 door would would be too much competition for the camaro. Whatever, i wouldn't mind having the caprice. Watched a review on it a while ago.
