How fast are camaro/bird v6's?

I am just curious I used to have a 95' Mustang V6 3.8L (put out a thunderous 145HP and 215 Torque), then sold that car for my current formula.

I know that the camaro 3.8's put out like 200hp which is pretty decent. How fast are they in comparison to the 1999+ Mustang V6's which put out 190HP and I duno the torque, or any other vehicles for that matter.

auto for auto = camaro owns
auto for M5 mustang = driver race
M5 for auto mustang = camaro wins (long as drive is not really bad )
M5 for M5 = driver race

What he said, but watch out, the V6 Mustang has a larger aftermarket than our 3.8's. Then again, if you don't take our cars seriously... They CAN surprise you...

They have more and MUCH CHEAPER parts than us. that's why they have turbo v6s in the 10s and we don't.

99+ V6 Stangs aren't too bad though stock for stock, we own 'em. Unless they are driving an M5 and the f-body is an A4 who doesn't know how to launch...then its a coin toss.

Good thing you got rid of that '95 though...woof, talk about a dog.

AFAIK they have one turbo v6 in the 10s, and if I remember correctly it's on a mostly stock junkyard motor with lots of tuning.

I think that since the GTP guys started going fast there are TONS of 3800 parts on the market, and there are more every day.

turbo buicks (like grand nationals) have a 3.8 but it's a totally different motor.

This is a lil off topic but did they make GNs in any color but black? If they did, I've never seen one.

In 1982, they were gray. Very rare. Only 215 built.
