    Stock 3.8l torque?

    Hey guys,
    My brother is trying to argue with me that his 98 v6 camaro has 300ft/lb of torque. After all it does say it has 300 in his owners manual. Does anyone know why? I find it kinda odd that his v6 has 40 less torque than my z28.

    The 3.8's have 200HP and 225 lb/ft of torque at the crank.

                          Even the cc's are different for the v8 in my book. Thats just wierd. I guess the only way to prove it is to get it on the dyno :)

                          Im gonna go check and see what it says in my manual.

                            What year is your z28?

                            They produced a 3.4l from 93-95.

                            Also, these numbers are at the crank.
