I'm new to this board and not sure if this is proper place for this thread, but here goes anyway. I just purchased a 98 Firebird with 3.8 engine and a 5 speed. It has 126K miles on it and this thing runs like it's got a small block V8 in it. It appears to be bone stock and I don't believe the motor has ever had and major overhaul done on it. I just can't believe a V6 with this many miles on it could run so good. Did I just luck into a good one or is this typical for an F body 3.8?

Re: New Firebird V6 Owner
It's amazing how quick you get used to the performance. I've only had the car a week and I am already thinking about my first mod. Where is the best place to start - what gives the most bang for the buck when considering the first mod to a stock motor?Comment
