So this is what it's like to have a 6.2?

Can someone verify if this is the real 6.2 experience?

Yes, but that truck has been modified some. I tell you, every time I drive the 6.2 Sierra it puts a smile on my face!

The 6.2 is a beast compared to 5.3!

if it's @randeez incarnation then yes
the Silverado's are light in the @ss so the burn out is not too much of a stretch

I have the 6.2L (420hp) in my 2021 Yukon Denali which is a significantly larger vehicle than my previous 2004 SRX V8 (325hp) - and it's pleasantly responsive. Maybe not quite as sporty (tight cornering) as the SRX but feels like it's in the ballpark acceleration wise - e.g. fun to drive for sure!

And towing 5,000lb is night/day - SRX strained but Yukon just plows ahead as if it's nothing.

I can tell you, every time I’m in my RST, I have a happy face. Redlight challenges are even more fun.

That's music to my ears. Sounds like my Tahoe when it was running good--except my exhaust was a little louder.

I wouldn't do that with a G80! But yes, the acceleration is really good, even stock, but I suspect that truck has been modified, as James says. 0-60 is about 6.4. My father-in-law drives a Porsche and he thinks the 6.2L in the Denali's we have is awesome. Grins ear-to-ear every time I punch it and leave everyone else in the dust. Especially the 2012 with the bigger cam. I can't vouch for the wheelspin because the Denali SUV's drive all 4 at the same time. Need to get feedback from someone with a 2WD Denali or Escalade.

I wouldn't know. I can't do burnouts. I have AWD.

And i haven't tuned it because, frankly, I don't trust myself. It's dangerously quick for a 5500-lb truck.

Any upgrades to a 6.2 definitely mean upgrades to the brakes and suspension are in order. It’s at the absolute limits of its class.

I wonder what GM did to the Esky V to prep it for 682hp compared to a standard truck?
