In the world of inline-six performance, there are some engines that stand out – the Nissan RB26DETT and Toyota 2JZ, for example. Both are highly regarded for their robust build quality, and ability to make gobs of power without an obscene amount of modification. In the early 2000s, General Motors released an inline six-cylinder of its own to power the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. The engine has long since been discontinued, but its popularity has grown as its potential has been seen by those who have referred to it as Americas 2JZ. In this article, we discuss the validity of that label for GM’s impressive inline-six that is sure to give the real 2JZ a run for its money.
