Actually it's a 3.6L with a LOT of torque. Though I'm no motorhead, I
udnerstand that two spark plugs and two ignition coils per cylinder
helps quite a bit, as does the very weird tuned-induction system in
the intake manifold. I drove a 6.6L FireChicken for several
years...this [stock] 911 will blow its doors clean off, above OR below
100MPH.
