What kind of car do you drive?

3.8 died in 1990...but i think chev is a little dyslexic......i think it's A 4.3 or lt1 with the back 2 holes gone...fun motor in a cammy of s10......right at 200hp/200 ft lbs at the wheels....light...real tire roaster for it's size/era

Huh? They still had 3.8's all the way through 2002.. maybe even later.. perhaps I'm misunderstanding? :)

LoL everybody but chevy is wrong about HIS car and I'm wrong in general about the 3.8....94 v6 cammies were 2.8 3.1 3.4 only
 
I don't see how everybody is wrong about his car.. :confused: jstafford said he thought it would be a 3.8, he's a mustang guy.. so no biggy.. I'm often wrong about stangs.. I said not in 94. Meaning 3.8's weren't in 94's.... stock.lol. its not a hard swap. :D
 
I mean....yeah...if it was mine....it'd be a 4.3....
All those 5.7 parts....rods, pistons, pete jackson gear timing drive, etc, all fit out of the box...everything but the crank cam and manifolds basically..hard to pass up

They're no fun to drive though. They're built for luxury and comfort not performance.

Are talking about the FRS or the IS? Every review I've read about the FRS has said it was the most fun car they've driven in a while. And the IS is the sport sedan, so it shouldn't be too bad. Haven't driven one yet though.

No the frs is definitely fun. Its a track toy.

The IS horrible for fun though.

The IS needs a tighter suspension. Thas all. The power is there just can't take corners. The AWD version is even worse. It becomes heavier.
But RWD with a good set of coilovers, stickier tires and up the HP 50-100 and you got a lil beast. Toyota Altezza (J-Spec version)didn't get hyped up for nothing.

Well that sucks. Sounds like I have more fun in my Tundra. When the roads are wet, and no one is around, I'll purposely give it more than enough gas to throw the tail out to the side. One time I yelled, "I'm Tanner Foust!" Lol

I had a 2003 MB c230 hatchback with some serious mods that was a beast...I called it my Strudel-Burner. Used to take down mustangs and ricers all the time.

Engine swap: 3.2L v6 Turbo (C32 model)
NOS: 200-shot
ECU: PowerChip custom ECU (out of business)
Wheels: cant remember (19", 245 width front, 265 width rear Michelin PS2's)
Suspension: Lorinser (i think it was restamped AMG)
Brakes: AMG
I know I had more done to it but thats all I remember off the top of my head and obviously the details arent all there any more...its been 8 years, after all. Just to be a jerk I left the c230 branding on it and the Lorinser exhaust i had at the time was pretty quiet at low RPM's...Wait till the person agrees to a race for cash then smoke them. :-)
