"FOR RELEASE: Jan. 5, 2003, 12:00 EST..."

Oops...

Some pretty cool info on upcoming GM products.

 

The page you were looking for was not found, or is not available.

Please return to the GM Media Online homepage.

Looks like someone else besides you spotted the problem. You didn't happen to like, save it did you?

 

I saw it before it crashed. Nothing exciting/interesting enough to make me want to copy/paste or anything. Nice pics of the Caddy XLR though.

 

GM took it down. Info wasn't suppose to be released yet.

There were some interesting info such as the ~1000hp V16 engine running with regular unleaded. The class trailing 04 Malibu's 200hp OHV V6. I have some of the pages still cached on my PC.

 

I saw like two days ago (I should have posted the link here but I'm lazy). The Cadillac Sixteen sounds pretty impressive, although it only has a 4-speed auto.

 

With all the torque that thing must be putting out, a 3-speed would be plenty.

 

I know, and you shouldn't really rip on a tranny for it's number of gears, but in the luxo market, the saying "the more the merrier" seems to fit.

 

1000HP V-16 running on regular gas? I find that hard to fathom. Displacement must be freakin enormous, and compression must be nill.

The number of gears does matter to some extent, although it depends depending how much torque it has. To save fuel on the highway, especially given 16 pistons going up and down, a 5th gear would seem needed.

But given it will probably make at LEAST 750 lb.-ft. of torque, you can make 4th gear as long as hell and lug at 1800RPM at 70mph all day long.
