It's ok Ron, I think the 3.7 is a pointless engine. 1% better fuel economy over the 4.2 for a 17% loss in peak power Also the 3.7 is a shortstroke so in theory it should have a higher max RPM and produce max torque and power higher up the rev band, but what's the point in a heavy autobahn cruiser

I can't defend the 3.7 even if I have that lump
