I drove an Envoy with the all alluminum inline six (275 horsepower) and 
thought that GM is up to the old tricks.  It had great aceleration in 
first gear and shifted into second at 6,000 rpm but 275 seems 
optomistic.  Consider an LS1 is rated at 305hp.  Those extra 30 horses 
are doing alot of work.
