Ok the Chevrolet Camaro was the answer to the Pontiac Firebird.
So, I'm wondering what was the answer the Oldsmobile Aurora?
That thing had a beast motor.
Basically I'm just looking for a modern day Oldsmobile Aurora. (2009-2013)
It doesn't necessarily have to be a Chevrolet. But please just make it close to the Aurora. I don't prefer Asian cars.
 
The only car that comes to mind that's a Chevy is the Impala SS from 09. That was the last yr it came with a V8. Then after that for a very limited time the Buick Lacrosse Super came with a 5.3L V8. I believe that yr was 2008. There was also the Buick Lucerne that had a 4.6L Northstar V8. But GM's modern day work horse engine is the 3.6L V6 that you see in variations in their cars. Up until 2012 model yr, the Chevy Malibu came with that engine as an option. It would be the most affordable car w/ that engine. It made 252hp in it's stock form. Fairly close to the Aurora's V8 hp rating. But for 2013 it was discontinued in the new Malibu & replaced with an optional turbo 4 popper. Not sure if I helped any, but g'luck just the same.
