The 3.8's are only good to 4-500 hp, i.e. low 12's to high 11's, and then you start having bad reliability issues.

there's some daily driven 97+ 3.8s that run 10s, and at least 3 in the 9s.. I'm sure the GNs have even more of these..

True, I guess this is kind of a vague topic. Maybe it will bring forth the SRT4 ownage we've been looking for HAHA

probably not, i didnt ever say it was the best motor, i said it was a good motor for its size and what it can do.
IMO best is the 4g63. followed by the 302 and then the LS1.
but this will probably become another closed minded pissing match between the "oh V8 are god bow down" zim and bullitt who cant see past their loyalties to the v8 to see when good engineering makes for good engines that can take abuse, make power and do it safely and reliably.

You can easily make 500 at the crank with a stock block LS1, naturally aspirated. It gets my vote.

thomas -> before you go on defending the 4 bangers that can take a beating
Find me a 4 banger that can sound like a mildly worked v8, through its entire RPM range (to boot) and then maybe I'll think about giving them an ounce of credit...

Mathmatically even, there is still no replacement for displacement. More displacement=more hp and tq, especially on the bottom end. Sure you can make 1000 hp from a 2.0 ltr, but at what rpm? and what kind of tq are you going to expect from it???? It's area under the curve that wins the games, not how high the curve goes. You should learn that.

It's not that I'm V8 loyal cause it's a V8(well kinda), but it's the fact that more reliable, consisent hp can be created. Prime example of what works best. Pump gas drags are a great base for this discussion. What has been consistently winning the competition?? V8's. LS1 and the like to be exact. Have you EVER seen a 4 cyl make 1000+hp on pump gas??? Nope.

 I knew that, but depends on the type of boost, too..
intercooled/built trans 3.8s have torque curves almost identical to my 92's (click link in sig) with their roots blowers.. when turbo'd their HP jumps up but tq stays about the same
And I'd like to see a SRT-4 with the same weight as my regal do decently at the track
