fastest W-body motor excluding supercharged/turbos


Recommended Posts

A lo quad, with a 3 speed and 2.84 final drive would struggle to beat a 4 speed 3.1 with a 3.33 final drive. Tey're good motors, but not THAT good. Also good luck testing it anyway, the lo quad cutlasses are almost nonexistently rare.

I'll bet they got the 3.61....every other early 90s GM 5 speed did, other than LQ1s, which had 3.67.

 

Who knows what 1-5 was....they changed every year, other than in 92-94.

Yeah, but if your talking about engine vs. engine, the quad 4 wins. Obviously with a much worse drivetrain the quad loses any advantage it might have.

A few cutlass's actually for dead certainty. I know my 92 sedan had the option of a 3400, it was just rare

You are mistaken for the 3.4 DOHC. The 3400 was offered in the 2nd gen Impala's and Monte's.

New List:

1. 3.4 DOHC

2. 3800 SII

3. 3.5 Shortstar

4. 3400 SFI

5. Quad 4 DOHC- HI output

6. 3800

7. 3100 SFI

8. 3.1 MPFI

9. Quad 4 DOHC-LO output

10. 2.8 MPFI

11. 2.2 MPFI

12. 2.5 Iron Duke

13. Empty Engine Bay

 

Read the list again. the Quad is definitely faster than a 2.8.

I personally think a S* can take a 3800II, and would like to see the race.

 

Doing a quick check on MSN:

 

'98 Intrigue: 195hp/230 Tq (3.8 II)

0-60: 8.13

1/4: 16.29 @ 87.50

 

'99 Intrigue: 215hp/230 tq S*

0-60: 6.99

1/4: 15.41 @ 93.00

Thanks, looks as if I was right 8)

 

Also, the Intrigue has a faster 0-60 than the 3.4l DOHC, and arguably a faster 1/4mi.

Don't forget it's maybe a bit heavier than a Lumi too..

It is probably really close, maybe a little heavier, but I wouldn't think by much.
