Yeah I wish it was more too.

How do the low end torque of the two compare?

Some more engine specs

More Hp/Tq I think he might win, unless his car weighs a lot more than yours.

umm the intrigue has more torque at a lower rpm, less displacement, more horsepower, more valves, more cams, less compression? lol wtf is chevy doing with their monte...

peak torque at 4000 rpm I bet its got a 5500rpm
redline
useless!

the 3.5L DOHC was really expensive to make, thats why they discontinued it. It also made the cars torque steer pretty bad, something that most Olds owners complained about.
