DOD From GM

Whats everyone think about the new Displacement On Demand from GM? Im sure we all know it comes with the new small black V8 5.3l 303hp engine in the Montel Carlo SS and Impala SS. I think its rather interesting GM could really go somewhere with this.

the problem was the switching, and the power (not to mention the utter lack of reliability) that old caddy got almost 30mpg is a deville (about 2 of your car) also notice the estimate is a gm estimate it has not been tested by the epa yet (altough the ratings are useless today since they are done on a dyno at 55 mph and averaged with no air drag, or accesories)
