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.

yeah, my roomate just showed me the new monte yesterday, and im actually impressed... I think the resdesign of the front is way better... and they have power to back it up too, im interested in seeing the outcome

as long as it's better than the last dod they had (caddy had it in the early 80's and it was garbage)

They got 28-29mpg highway in the monte ss. Thats more then what I get in the V6.

lol thats nice mpg.. ive gotten around that a couple times, but that was strictly highway only

Gas prices up and so does displacement.:confused:

Gas has gone down here. Last week was 3.09 today its like 2.77?

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)

I think its a nice concept and they must trust it since they are puttin it in the trucks and SUV's too.

Ls4 v8 5.3 ltr. thats DOD is gonna be good i think

I recall the new small block v8 with the DOD doesnt go by LSX series its something else now. I think its LZ something I could be wrong.

when i was at the autoshow it was ls4 and in a recent gmhtp it said ls4
