Re: How is the new six speed transmission for Wrangler?

I should have included more of the article. The "relatively low torque"
statement was comparing the low-end torque of the european engines with the
American V-8s.
The Z-06 Corvette specs are 503hp @ 6300 rpm and 637lb.ft. @ 4800 rpm.
The Dodge Magnum with the hemi specs at 340hp @ 5000 rpm and 390lb.ft. @
4000rpm.
The Cadillac CTS has 400hp @ 6000rpm and 395lb.ft. @ 4400rpm.

Re: How is the new six speed transmission for Wrangler?

Audi engines hit their torque plateau between 1800-2000 rpm and redline well
over 6000 rpm and as opposed to American engines that start making funny
noises above 3500 rpm they will run happily all day at 6000 rpm.

For example:
The 4.2 liter engine (254 cid) produces 480 hp at 6000 rpm and 413 lbft
torque at 1950 rpm

0-62 mph 4.6 seconds, 0-124 mph 17.3 seconds
