Email From GM


Recommended Posts

Posted

I just thought I'd share with you the email I got from GM. I asked the exact horsepower and torque specs. This is what I got.

 

Mr. Gibbons:

 

Thank you for your patience in waiting for our response.

 

In response to your inquiry, our internal technical resources have provided the

following feedback:

 

The HP and torque ratings for this engine have changed slightly over the years

from 1991 to 1997:

 

1991 LQ1 Rating

HP = 210 @ 5200 RPM

Torque = 200 lb-ft @ 5000 RPM

 

1997 LQ1 Rating

HP = 215 @ 5200 RPM

Torque = 220 lb-ft @ 4400 RPM

 

We trust this information is of assistance to you, and we thank you for

contacting General Motors of Canada Limited. Please visit our website again!

I thought the earlier auto cars only had 200hp?

 

I thought so too. I thought the manuals were the only ones to have 210hp.

maybe they quoted the 5-spd rated hp only?

 

What are these internal technical resources? Also known as....sales brochures? :P

 

Heather has been answering emails on behalf of GM for a while. A couple of years ago (on probably gmforums) she had given us production numbers of anything you can think of. You just have to ask her REALLY REALLY nicely and assure her that the assistance she gives is a great asset bla bla bla basically brown nose her ;)...

That sounds right, even a lumina Z34 Magazine said the Auto had 200 and the Manual had 210hp

That sounds about right, except for the 96-97 torque. I have a magazine ad for a 1996 GP coupe that lists both HP and TQ at 215.
