Are all of those guys running the 3.8 S/C's using autos?

not all, but the kind of power shawns car is puting down, the 5-speed (or 6-speed) wont hold the power. the torque destroys them. he may be (in the future) be building a ecotec with loas of boost and power, and that'll get a 5-speed

The cougar now has cruise control Only a few months later :laugh:

 

[elraido]

Just in time for you to put it away and drive the SVT. :laugh:

 

[Redlineracer12]

Nahhh, the cougar is more enjoyable to drive :laugh: Especially once I get a few more things fixed up on it.

I did take the SVT out for a bit yesterday though.

I'm going to try editing that a bit more to darken the car a little.

 

[cnewton44]

Looks good..

 

[Redlineracer12]

I think I've had about enough HDR for a couple days :laugh: I will try again some other time. The pictures turn pretty soft when I tone map them in photomatix...

Oh well, I learn more and more every time I experiment

 

[elraido]

Another car for a certain someone since they are looking for one. Higher miles but it is local and you might be in the market for another car. :laugh:

 

[Redlineracer12]

Higher miles....

Just like every other car you seem to find on craigslist

Elraidog is the master of cars that have been around the world more than seven or eight times. This guy with the Jetta is taking a page out of ol' Jason's book, too: "Will run forever." Well, there's a guarantee! I'm sold! :laugh:

Just kidding, buddy. I won't argue about the durability of GMs 3.8 V6, but I lack the temerity to ensnare myself in the VW trap at any mileage.

Like we have low milage cars up here. :laugh: You have to drive 20 miles one way just to get any place.....and then you are still in the middle of nowhere.

 

[LauraSVT]

Dammit, this is where it's at. Just in time for $4 gas.

Actually, the 302s are capable of 25 mpg on the highway.

Now if I had money I would be tempted by this
http://duluth.craigslist.org/car/699115571.html

But then I would realize it didn't have a 5 speed in it...or 6 for that matter.

An automatic can be ok in certain applications. I loved the AOD-E in my '94 Lincoln Town Car. Shifted logically and when you wanted it to. If you put it to the wood, it would snap off shifts with aplomb for such a luxurious beast.

As for supercharged Bonnies, I was always most fond of the somewhat garish 1992, but I think we've had that conversation.

But I loves the Pontiac GXP's. Then again if I was to spend $20K on a car it would either be a GS or Gran National.

The Pontiac equivalent of the Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. Without the extra glass, of course.
