Engine

You might not be breaking any land speed records with its three speed automatic transmission, even though it is paired with a 6.6L V8, a mammoth of an engine, you’ll certainly have a pep in your step with each blip of the throttle, and some V8 goodness with your foot down. The reported 4 core radiator installed gives added confidence to the engine staying cool as you press it on.
