hi all, new guy here
hemi, I share your unbiased views 100%
I have 2 crossbred ae86, both turbo mitsubishi 4s, one sohc(starion), the other dohc(vr4). They run excellent. I'd never give em up. smooooth
I have lotsa experience with the old 3.8L Buick v6. I dunno if u guys know what a grand national is over there, but u won't find full wt (~3500 lbs) street car that run 10sec quarters with as few cheap mods.
GM 3800 is a redesign of the 3.8L - smoother, more power.
If setup properly in a lightwt ~1100kg import, it would make an excellent street car. Just a tip of the throttle would press u back into the seat everytime, and give great economy to boot. Would even shit all over a gze, be alot smoother, cost less, etc.. rugged and reliable.
In the u.s. they swap the supercharged version into everything. A turbocharged 3800 would frighten u outta your mind.
I haven't ruled out a 3800/5spd powered corolla swap in my future
My first engine swap was a 3.8L/5sp into a gm vega (2800 lbs), hardly ever got higher than 3rd gear.
