HP wise it is comparable to the Ford 2.7 (310 hp vs 325 hp for the Ford), but the torque is lower (348 ft-lbs versus 400 ft-lbs for the F150). It will be interesting to see if that difference is perceptible.
I'm sure it drives just fine with the torque coming on quickly and staying on...
I know I am pleased with the 2.7 in my F150 - I'd buy another one in a heartbeat...
True but keep in mind Ford's HP and Torque figures are acquired using PREMIUM fuel even though most owners will run 87 octane. The Chevy figures are made on 87 octane so they are more realistic to me.
