    Not too many engines besides the 2TR could pull off 135whp/155wtq motivating a 4,200lb+ vehicle... and have the vast majority of it's owners raving about it.

    It's got a nice torque curve, ~95% of max torque @ 2,000rpm, reminds me of a mini Ford 300ci.

    I agree, my 2.7 is much quieter than my previous Nissan

    The motor sounds great and I think if I can get rid of the hesitation when i first go to take off every morning it would be perfect. Another plus on the 2.7 is and old school oil filter, not that crappy canister type.

    I love that they still use spin ons. Somebody was promoting an adapter to convert these to the cartridge LOL.

    Do you have a copy of the torque curve you could post? The only thing I have are the specs showing max torque at around 4100-4500 rpm (memory, don’t have specs in front of me).
