	List of GM VIN codes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		GM has traditionally encoded the platform as the fourth character of the VIN.
		The restraint type is specified as character seven of the American GM VIN for passenger cars.
		GM encodes the engine type in character 8 of the VIN.

	List of GM engines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fiat Diesel engine has 1900 ccm, but before this cooperation, Opel had already developed two own engines, namely 2-litre Diesels with 82 and 100 hp; which were installed mostly in the Vectra B. GM Daewoo recently licensed two common rail designs from VM Motori.
		Holden in Australia also used straight-6 engines for a number of years in their family sedan models, with local engines ranging in size from 2.15L (132ci) in the original Holden 48-215 of 1948, to the 3.3L (202ci) six used in the 1970's and 80's, up until 1985 with the VK Commodore model.
		Since the old engine was considered unsuitable, and a new engine hadn't been developed, the VL Commodore sported the 3.0L Nissan RB30 engine, the last straight six used in a Commodore.

	Pontiac Solstice Forum - My Stroll down to the Pontiac Dealership for Solstice info and my Findings
		GM can be dumb, but if 40K people want a solstice, im sure they will build more.
		Implied from the article and quotes from the chief engineer and the vehicle line executive was because of the way the body panels are formed (sheet hydroforming), the long cycle times limit the usage to niche vehicles in the volume of only 20,000 vehicles or so.
		I think GM is positioning the intro Solstice not as a muscle car but a roadster and will offer options later to make it a muscle car for those who want that.

	Cadillac CTS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Built on an all-new rear-wheel-drive architecture, the CTS features a new 3.2L V6 engine and was the first North American vehicle to be rigorously tested at the famed Nürburgring track in Germany.
		Another electronic feature is also a first for GM: engine braking in all five gears, giving the automatic the same sporty feel as a downshifting manual.
		The new Sigma architecture is the first usage of ultra high-strength steel at GM, and the first time the steel has been incorporated as a welded member of the structure.

	What is GM/Pontiac likely to do for higher HP version? - Pontiac Solstice Forum
		GM knows how to build them and one of the things I look for in a car destined for max handling is an engine behind the front axle.
		This is the typical approach that GM has taken in the past and I get the feeling they want to make a break from the cheasy bean counter image they have had.
		GM knows this, and will select the features that ellicit the most positive response from the general public and try then to mesh that with technical, physical and economical constraints.

	Science Fair Projects - List of GM engines
		General Motors was the pioneer of the V6 engine in the United States, putting the first American V6, the Buick Special's 198 in³ V6, on the road in 1962.
		But the company quickly lost interest in the small engine family and sold it to Kaiser in 1967.
		In the midst of the fuel crisis of the 1970s, GM realized that a V6 engine would be an excellent alternative to bulky straight-6 and large V8 engines, so the company bought the design back and launched the familiar 3800 line.

		With styling beyond bold, the new 2004 CTS builds on Cadillac’s 100-year tradition of engineering excellence and design innovation, and is a modern interpretation of the strikingly beautiful cars for which Cadillac became famous.
		Built on GM’s acclaimed Sigma rear-wheel-drive architecture, CTS was the first North American vehicle to be rigorously tested at the famed Nürburgring in Germany.
		The engine was fully revamped to improve driveability, power, torque and emissions and designed to take full advantage of every bit of its 220 horsepower.

		The medical applications of lanthanides are diverse: MRI contrast agents, hypophosphatemic agents for kidney dialysis patients, luminescent probes in cell studies, and for palliation of bone pain in osteosarcoma.
		Engine hardware and operating conditions, after-treatment catalysts, and fuel composition all affect the amount and composition of emissions leaving the vehicle tailpipe.
		While engine and after-treatment effects are generally larger than fuel effects, engine and after-treatment hardware can require specific fuel properties.

	GM-Cars.com Reviews The Cadillac CTS - GMInsideNews Forums
		I hate to tell you guys your job but I am a GM owner who is looking for a four door car and I have sat in the CTS and have gotten all the info for the 2004 CTS and they are only showing a 250 HP V-6 not a 260+ engine as you quote.
		I want to own a GM but they make it hard as The Honda Accord has more power at less weight and with a better interior.
		GM corporate says it is 260 hp for 2004 so I would probably agree with them

		Most engine management computers control ignition timing, and expect to see a signal back from the ignition module that confirms timing is at the value the ECU is trying to set.
		Grounding the towers means running a regular wire from the engine block to each of the distributor towers.

	Science Fair Projects - Cadillac CTS
		Originally powered by a 3.2 L LA3 V6 producing 220 hp (164 kW), the CTS received an upgraded 3.6 L DOHC V6 with Variable Valve Timing in 2004, producing 255 hp (190 kW) and 252 lb.ft (342 Nm) of torque.
		In addition, a CTS-V model offering an LS6 V8 engine, similar to the Corvette Z06 engine, with 400 hp (300 kW) matched to a six-speed manual transmission, became available in 2004.
		The 3.2 L engine will go out of production in 2005, when a new 2.8 L version of the DOHC 3.6 will debut in an entry-level version of the CTS.

	GMInsideNews Forums - 2005 Cadillac Model changes
		GM has previously stated that the HFV6 can be reliably boosted to 370 hp (probably in the 3.2-l turbo).
		I think revving an engine is fun, as long as it's not around 9,000 RPM like some Hondas.
		A FWD car can shair an Engine but NOT a transmition with a RWD car were the engine sits differently in the engine bay.

	Computer, Chip, Cruise Control, Car & Truck Parts at Shop Car Parts Online
		Electrical engineering (sometimes referred to as electrical and electronics engineering) is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism.
		Where a distinction is made, electrical engineering is considered to deal with the problems associated with large-scale electrical systems such as power transmission and motor control, whereas electronics engineering deals with the study of small-scale electronic systems including computers and integrated circuits.
		Another way of looking at the distinction is that electrical engineers are usually concerned with using electricity to transmit energy, while electronics engineers are concerned with using electricity to transmit information.

	Australian LS1 and Holden Forums - Official HFV6 figures?
		Weight is added not just by new engines, gearboxes, suspensions, etc, its also the redesigning of many of the safety structures of the body shell and chassis that adds the weight.
		However, if the VZ is heavier than the BA, it will be the first ever full-sized Holden sedan in its 56 year history to weigh more than an equivalent Ford and that's not something either camp should be proud of.....
		This is from an ex Holden engineer that did exactly this, redesign of body shell structures etc, worked a little while at Innovation too, but luckily for him he says that Ford poached him as he sees that place going down hill.

		I think that 428 was a common GM size due to an edict about making sure that the big motors did not go racing.
		High deck engines had longer connecting rods to compensate for the one inch higher deck, and reduce piston skirt side loads..
		Two valve race engines were able to make more power at higher RPM, as the max flow of the 4 valve heads was about the same, but there was no comparison at all at 4000 RPM.
