THe fastest 100 % streetable non-juiced guy I would say is Tiago, he has almsot all custom setup but is running a turboed 3.4L tht ran a 13.5, with some tuning, issues, his car ran better at part throttole then full throttle. Either way his car is his daily driver.
Shirl's car, is nitrosed and juiced, and its on the stock suspension.
12secondv6, is still running the stock cam I think and he is in the 12.
anyways here is hte timeslip page

My car is going to be totally streetable. I am looking for high 9's to low 10's on this current set-up.
www.hustonstreetracing.com for the skinny on my car. Of course I am cheating and using a GN motor....

oh my god! there is that timeslips page again.
if you really want to know about V6s, i feel these guys will mislead you. you have to go with the facts.
yes it is true tiago has a 13.5 turboed 3.4. BUT, he is the only one. yes magnus pulled 13.XX without nitrous. BUT AGAIN he is the only one. impressive times for a V6 fbody, but not everyday times.
the fact you have to look at are the essential facts: 200 bhp, heavy cars off the showroom floor, open rear on most, some have 3.08s, 15/16 second cars to begin with.
now that is the truth about V6 camaros.
i must be the only person on here that sees other V6 camaros on the road and thinks "thats a slow car" dont get me wrong, i think worse of V6 mustangs.
but if you want to know how much potential these cars have then i suggest you look at tiagos car as well as magnus's car, 12secv6,camaro_zach, slacker69. oh hell anybody on that timeslips page.

The 3.8 in our cars has a lot of potential. Depending on how much money you're willing to put into it of course. I ran a 14.3 and my car is a daily driver. Back and forth to work everyday. It's not the fastest by far, but she can hold her own. You win some, and you loose some. That's just "racing". If you're looking for fast......like everyone else will tell you.....just get a V-8. If you're looking for pride in a quick V-6, you better be independantly wealthy or go rob a bank cuz it's not cheap. Gotta pay to play.

I didn't really mention Magnus's car N/A he did run 13s, but I am not to sure of the everyday streetability of the car. I mean did you here the clip of his car with the cam?
Also a guy Joe palermos was running 14 flats, hitting his speed limiter about before the end of the 1/4 mile, he was probable another 13 second v6 f-body that was daily driven, but he got rid of he car before they came out with a way to get rid of a speed limiter.
WIth a 3.8L I woudln't expect a huge amount more then 14s with and 100% streetable, if you stay N/A.

How does my car not count? I ran 12.3 with only a 100 shot in a VERY streetable setup with full exhaust ON the car just with the cat removed. My car was more streetable back then than it is now.
I also drive my car ALL the time. It's very streetable.
And as for that cam clip, i mentioned it many times that I popped a vacuum line off for effect. It idles much smoother than that noramlly.
There isn't 1 non-streetable car on the timeslips page:

Also, to get more in-depth technical information regarding 3.4's and 3.8's check out the tech database and engine section of firebirdv6.com and ask questions to the largest V6 online community be sure to check out firebirdv6's message board.
3.8's definately have a lot of potential, it just takes patience and the proper setup. It really doesn't take a lot of $$$ either.
In an automatic a simple intake/exhaust/converter/gear will go a long way. To get the most out of it at the track though you'll need a good tire.

Both Mike Huff and Tyrunt Rolle dyno'd over 200 rwhp.
3.8's with 3.42's stock are a 15.2-15.3 sec car up here in chicago in good weather. Seen it happen time and time again. With 3.08s they are a 15.5-15.6 sec car.
Also, just for kicks I took my car out for lunch and drove around in the snow and slipper roads. It did not burst into a ball of fire nor did I lose control and flip into a ditch. I did not kill any birds or squirrels from polution nor did I have to fill up the tank with 100+ octain every few blocks.
