  ENGINE, POWER TRAIN

  I WANTED TO REACH OUT TO YOU ON GMC'S CLAIM THAT THEIR ENGINE ACHIEVES 305 HORSEPOWER. WHILE IT MAY BE TRUE THAT THEIR ENGINE ACHIEVES THIS FIGURE IT DOES SO AT A STATED 6800 RPM. THE 6800 FIGURE IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE BECAUSE THE TRUCKS? RED LINE INDICATING POTENTIAL DANGEROUS OPERATING CONDITIONS START AT 6500 RPM. SO IN ESSENCE IN ORDER FOR AN OWNER TO ACHIEVE 305 HP THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE OPERATING THEIR TRUCK IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MANNER. EVEN IN THE 2015 COLORADO OWNER?S MANUAL IT INDICATES THE DANGER OF OPERATING ABOVE THE REDLINE? ?DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE WITH THE RPM?S IN THE WARNING AREA.? GM IS STATING THAT SOMEONE CAN ACHIEVE MAXIMUM HP ONLY BY OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN A DANGEROUS MANNER....REALLY?! I BELIEVE IT WILL ONLY BE FAIR FOR GMC TO RE-EVALUATE THEIR MAXIMUM HORSEPOWER PRIOR TO THEIR ENGINE HITTING THE REDLINE. *TR
