3.8L Camaro vs V6 DOHC

This girlt that goes to my church just got this car, a Green.. i cant even tell what it is because of all the body work its got done. new side skirts, hood, fenders, rear, spoiler, completely reworked everything. She bought it from some 'japanese racer' or something. Of course its got the typical 6" exhaust tip and sounds like ****. I know this girl and she doesnt know **** ab cars so I ask her to pop the hood.. (wanted to see if it was a turbo, since he spent so much money on the body)

I opened the hood and i saw V6 DOHC 24-valve. Looked stock because a crazy old cool air intake coming off to the side, looked like he made it, the air filter looked terrible .. crammed with dirt..

I'm unsure of the displacement of the engine but I was wondering if we raced who would win?

My Car:
98 3.8L
Flowmaster Exhaust
No cat (straight pipe)
JET PCM Chip Stage 2
Free Ram-Air (with the stock air lid shaved on the inside.)

vs

Who knows? lol.. 3.0? V6 DOHC 24-valve? I looked it up.. it that is in fact the case.. 140HP stock.

What do you guys think?

Re: 3.8L Camaro vs V6 DOHC

possibly could be a 300zx or mitsubishi 3000gt....either will be a good race for you. both are around 220ish hp. Where do you get the 140 hp figure from? what car/engine or even brand was that? Rwd or fwd? Manual or automatic? kinda vauge here ya know...

maybe a Mitsubishi Eclipse GT ...those are 3.0L V6's. I beleive they only come in M5's though. Theyre rated at 200hp. Other than that, i dont know.

Ask the girl what kind of car it is. Or look on the sticker in the driver's doorjam. It should say the make and model of the car.

How about an Avenger / Sebring? They look like an extended 95-99 Talon/Eclipse.
