Agreed, that would have been a better solution but the 3.6L in this car is no slouch. 445 lb-ft. at 3500rpm, this engine with a 600hp tune was used to race in Caddy's GT3 class cars so it does have some racing pedigree - I've barely even tapped into the powerband and it feels strong with almost no lag. But yes, the alpha platform was tailor-made for the LT v8 motor.
A few of these 3.6TT engines have already eclipsed the 700+whp mark so it's proven to be tunable too.
