    and i will race YOU in my 3.8...

    my first car was a 95 auto 3.4. It was a very nice car for a first car, however i only had it for 3 months before I traded it in for my 98 Camaro that I have now and I must say, it was a much better upgrade and a great deal faster.

        2 seconds faster 0-60 maybe? I've heard of 3.4 autos doing 9 seconds 0-60 and I know that my 1997 Y87 m5 did it in 7 if not even a little less when I bought it bone stock at 79k

              I use to own a 3.slow, I test drove a 98 3.8 and I wasnt impressed at all.

                is there really a difference? In the grand scheme of things, neither are really blistering speed-machines

                          2. I didn't even want to race (on the track in my backyard, because of course I wasn't street racing - that's stupid, and illegal :)) it was just a waste of my gas
                          3. That Olds almost beat me. :( It has an old 3.8 in it.

                          Laugh it up, but you guys will feel mighty stupid when I get my "Mini-Van Killer" decals... :spank:

                            its all in good fun dude... lol. i have a "baby on board" sign i my back window :cool: and black steel rims off an old police car. The car needs alot of bodywork so I don't care so much about aesthetics until I get a paint job and whatnot. Get me one of those stickers! haha. I do have plans for the car so it'll be a sleeper for a while until I make it look schweet. I have a Ford racing sticker somewhere too that I'm gonna stick on my back window as a joke too. Nobody expects it to do low-mid 14s all day at the track lookin' like that ;)

                            performance wise, for ya car take out spare tire n jack and carry some fix-a-flat, aluminum driveshaft, cold air intake off ebay, swap out the stock muffler for a Summit turbo single in/out muffler, carsound cat and an upgraded magnaflow i-pipe. all under $500 easily.

                            and those old 3.8L cutlasses do pack 170hp so that should be a close race. you are rwd and possibly a bit lighter so despite 10 less horsepower you have the advantage.



                            Baby on board FTW

                              The "mini-van killer" decal is going in the spot where my Apple sticker is.:(

                              Oh yeah, the new banner is an open challenge to anyone with a mini-van (that's slower than my car and lives near me, because I don't wanna waste gas meeting anyone somewhere, and I get a 3 car head start, with pinks on the line)



                              Performance? My car has all the performance it needs. It's easily making 400hp. (actually, I just don't want to spend money on this engine, come winter the car's getting an LS2 or LS1 - only "mod" it has is a CherryBomb muffler thats clamped and ghetto hung on, because it sounded so ****ty with no muffler)
