PT Cruiser with a Stratus motor (6 cylinder)

[hemidakota]

I just witness a Pt with a Stratus 6 cylinder. Is this the next generation PT?

[lifeisdeath]

where did you witness this?

did it look like it was testing, or was it just some rich guy with a lot of time?

[hemidakota]

At a gas station in Carlsbad. The hood was raised and when I glanced over I could not believe it. It was a Stratus motor. One of the guys were tickering with something under the hood while the other guy was filling the tank.

i beleive it was.. mothers car polish? that created a V6 PT cruiser using the stratus V6..

[hemidakota]

A standard Cruiser with no aftermarket markings. I wish I had a camera though.

The folks from Mother's have some slick vehicles. All are painted that bright RED that they use for most everything. If it was the Mother's PT it would be that bright red color.

Interesting. Makes me want to carry my camera at all times. Never know what you may com across.

In Detroit...(concept testing)

In Death Valley during the summer. (heat testing)

In Mesa Arizona...track testing

In Carlsbad...design and concept testing

In Alaska for cold weather testing

Now forgetting south of the border for engine, dyno runs,and few other things for the shutter bug.

Ok....it is confirmed. The vehicle was a test mule on the latest V-6 drop in motor.

However, I didn't see any markings and no plugs centered in the valve covers to be considered a Hemi. Hmm....though it will give the Cruiser more power.

Did you happen to catch what motor. 2.5, 2.7 or 3.0? Weird thing is the 2.4 turbo make more power then all those v6's.

[hemidakota]

What I am hearing that the HEMI 6 is the motor of choice but unless the man willing to say it...it is still up in the air.

However, the powerplant is capable of 300 HP or close to it.

Wow 300ho, that would be a mean cruiser.
