You right that an SC'd 3.8 is no match for an SC'd 5.7. Though you may be surprised at how well a mildly modified blown 3.8 stacks up against an NA 5.7. Visit ClubGP.com to see some of the times those guys are throwin down.2000 GTP<br />Thrasher CAI, 3.4\" pulley, DHP PCM<br />Member RedLineVSix<br />Best ET-14.02<br />Best Trap-97.15Comment

To be honest I have never driven a Z in order to know the difference. I do know that most of the GTP dyno'd in stock form are putting down 280-300+ ft/lbs of torque to the wheels, with just a 3.4 pulley and intake they are putting down 350+ ft/lbs. Based on the torque numbers of the Z this should put the GTP right there with it in terms of stop light performance.2000 GTP<br />Thrasher CAI, 3.4\" pulley, DHP PCM<br />Member RedLineVSix<br />Best ET-14.02<br />Best Trap-97.15Comment

I believe it was Stefan that once said that a V8 would throw you back in your seat at first, but a supercharged V6 would sort of propel you forward at a fast, but constant, rate.~Derrick <a href=\"http://www.appstate.edu/~do54457/\" target=\"_blank\"><i>My Webpage</i></a><br /><b>\'96 3.8L V6 M5 Firebird Y87</b> | <b>162.8 RWHP</b> / <b>196.7 RWTQ</b> <br /><b>•</b> SLP CAI <b>•</b> <a href=\"http://tech.firebirdv6.com/y87.html\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Y87</b> Package</a> - 3.23s <b>•</b> 180º thermo w/ fan switch <b>•</b> TB spacer from DEE<br />1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4x4Comment

To me it feels like the boost takes a second to really kick in, whereas the v8 has the power as soon as you put your foot on the pedal.
I think w/ enough boost a supercharged v6 will be just as fast if not faster than an LT1, and maybe a tick slower than an LS1.<a href=\"http://groups.msn.com/WhoisNightRider/bluethunder.msnw\" target=\"_blank\">2002 Electron Blue Corvette Coupe</a><br /><i>13.083@108.23</i><br /><br /><a href=\"http://groups.msn.com/WhoisNightRider/redfire.msnw\" target=\"_blank\">2002 Metallic Red Grandprix GTP</a> <b>SOLD</b><br /><i>14.49@94.42 (Bone stock)</i><br /><br />2002 Black Convertible Camaro Z28<br /><i>times comming real soon!</i>Comment

Hey Night Rider, do you post as Big Phil, or something like that, on ClubGP.com??
I have no doubt that a supercharged V6 could hang with an LT1/LS1. I think I'd give an LT1 a run for its money now and I only have minimal mods. With a few more relatively cheap mods I could be seriously approaching LS1 territory.2000 GTP<br />Thrasher CAI, 3.4\" pulley, DHP PCM<br />Member RedLineVSix<br />Best ET-14.02<br />Best Trap-97.15Comment
