welcome to MM

If you just looking for a stock engine, its pointless. You can get a 4.2 for like 300 more than a stock 3.8. If you want a nice 4.2 setup, PM me and I will let you know what you wanna get....

haha i know what you mean, when i first bought my car on the drive home from the dealership, the second stop light i came to i had it in 3rd instead of first and it started to move, then jerked a little, then stalled. keep in mind i had never had a stick before my friend kinda taught me in his honda and my neightbor let me practice in his porsche (YES HE IS CRAZY FOR LETTING SOMEONE WHO HAD NEVER DRIVEN A STICK LEARN IN HIS NEW 06 PORSCHE) easiest i have ever driven though

Onemanzu · April 13th, 2007, 01:01 AM

the 3.8 is a VERY WELL engineered block. VERY hard to crack. Its possible, not fuck*ing hard.
