That V6 is pretty competitive. I don't think it's power is that surprising since it is a very large displacement V6.
It's power seems right in line with 4.3L of displacement when comparing it to the older 2006 - 2010 Ford 4.6L 3 valve engine that created 292 HP and 320 lbs of torque at the same rpms.
GM likes to use Pushrod technology so they have only added direct injection where Ford previously liked to use multivalve technology.
Fords Turbo engines use both multivalve and direct injection where their NA engines are only multivalve.
I'm impressed with the Chevy 6.2L but like Ford "previously", it can only be had on luxury trims that make it less capable with lower payloads from those trim packages. I'm waiting for GM to get a HD 1/2 ton like Ford, and like they had in earlier years. That with a lower trim package and the 6.2L will be a good tow vehicle for those that don't need to haul truck campers or plow snow.
