Thread: Is it a V8? No, it's a 3800.

why would you downshift an automatic.....

Racekarz

his tranny not mine, oh well, if he wants to downshift buy a standard...

The ONLY way a FWD 3800 sounds decent is with a turbo...

Sure at idle they sound find, and maybe to a non-car person it's a V8-esque noise, but as soon as you stray over like 2500 RPM, vomiting giraffe noises ensue.

Too bad GM didn't bring in the Holdens as Bonnevilles... Cause RWD 3800 sound decent with a true dual setup.

Im liking the sound of my car even at wot with the vs. its not raspy anymore.

Yeah, but it's not a 3800 rebuilding class.

More so cause the 3800 is stupid cheap and simple to build and teach off of.

and lets be honest here.. you blow a 3800.. you get a new one... you dont "rebuild it"
