dude...you're telling me that a '68 Camaro is a pile of shit because its a Chevy and a '68 Firebird is not because its a Pontiac?
How bout a Pontiac Tempest and a Chevy Chevelle?
Designed by basically the same people lol sorry....

Hmm...I'm gonna have to go with....outperforming every other manufacturer out there in comparable price ranges. Thats why they sold the most. Honestly, I'd rather have a better performing, more complicated engine than a lesser performing simple engine. Thats why everyone is going to DOHC designs....better performing, but more complicated.

I dont understand your logic here....have you owned EVERY engine? Probably just that 3.8 and the Northstar, huh
Let me think of a few....
4.2L inline 6: 275 hp 275 lb-ft of torque. Out of a 6 cylinder. As much or more than V8 competators. Those are BMW I6 numbers.
5.3L V8: 295 hp 330 lb-ft torque.
6.0L V8: 345 hp 380 lb-ft torque.
LT1 V8 (from back in '93 even): 275 hp 325 lb-ft torque.
LS1 V8: 350 hp 375 lb-ft
LS6 V8: 405 hp 400 lb-ft
I could go on....
I really dont think you can argue those numbers, but hey...if you hate power, thats cool
hehe just kiddin

not trying to start anything but that is the same thing.
