I drove the 3.6 - what gives?

[GHOSTDANCE]

GHOST is in the body shop and I got a 3.6 pentastar for my rental , all I can say is - versus my stock 3.5 - IF there are 40 extra horses in there - I sure as HELL cant find them

the car doesn't feel as strong as my '09 - what gives?

Feel around with your right foot. It should show up.

Maybe it's the 55 more you can't locate?

I thought it was 55 HP difference...guess that would make it even worse

Yes, you are correct. 55 HP difference.

guys - I do NOT repeat do NOT feel ANY difference - no t jokin - not bs'ing - not playing for effect - there is NO difference to me between the two cars

I test drove both the 3.5 and the 3.6 and i could tell a diffrence not night and day but it is still there so mabey the rental is a under performer.
Now mine is a Rallye with the ss/t package which does have a diffrent rear end and suspension package than the regular se so that may be the diffrence i feel in the seat .

Hmm....odd. If you can't feel any difference with the additional 55 hp....then maybe the Pentastar guys won't be able to feel any distinguishable difference in the 70 hp difference between and new SE/SXT and an R/T?

there is significant difference between the SE and the RT - driven them both

however - I think somebody played cutsie with the numbers on the 3.6 - I am a former racer SCCA SOLO I and II - made a living driven as a pro for a grand total of 8.5 months before team folded - and worked for Nissan for 2 years

I KNOW the difference in performance the reputed numbers SHOULD provide

what I am saying is that I am NOT feeling that difference
