My neighbour just bought a new Grand Cherokee... let me take it for a drive and I am impressed with the get up and go for a 6 cylinder jeep.  I have a 2010 JK and wish I had the penstar in it.

I read an article online that talked about some development testing of the Pentastar V6. I guess the engineers delivered the engine to Roush Industries and they were impressed with what they were able to do with the engine. I found this to wet everyones appetite.

"A twin turbo and single-turbocharger version are planned, for introduction by 2014; both would be based on the smallest size (3.0 liters) and might be slated for limited-production models (e.g. a new Viper based on a Maserati or an SRT mid-sized car). The twin-turbo version appears to projected for a whopping 420 horsepower while the single-turbo appears to be set for 370 hp.
