Tuning goes a long way

Fastlane50 Feb 15, 2009 07:26 PM

it looks like it has something to do with being a hybrid maybe??

viciousknid Feb 15, 2009 07:27 PM

It's not a hybrid

ahh......thanks for the link. So what I'm gathering is that the new pickups that are equipped with the 6 speed automatic trans get the "XFE" designation??

Your looking at weight reduction with the aluminum block. VVT, Tuning, less drag and smaller gear ratio all combined.

Dido.
Get the regular or the 6.0 and a tune. I bet that thing is a DOG off the line

Z06.0 Feb 15, 2009 09:23 PM

i hope they could have figured out something better

viciousknid Feb 15, 2009 09:25 PM
