I had the 3800 in one my camaros and it was no snail with a few mods, of course i had the three pedals so that helped. And my buddy has a buick ultra with the super charger on it and its quite the sleeper.

oh yeah man there great motors. I always take crap from people about it being a v6, i had the Y87 package on it and it would easily kill 5.0 foxbodies, granted they werent blown or anything. The 3.8 they throw in the stangs arent even worth wasting gas on in that thing, it was fun i loved it.

Just a thought... but the intake manifolds are the same size but different shapes for the Naturally breathing 3.8 for the year as with the Supercharged for that year. Swapped out my N/A intake for a year newer Supercharged intake from a park and it worked pretty well. That was OBD1 though. Just a thought.

Nice cars, and as mentioned several times the 3.8 is one of the best things to ever come from GM.
I vaguely recall participating in some "top fuel" burnouts with the old mans Bonnie SSEI. Hit that TCS off and she'd burn 'em to wheels.
