im new here and i just got my 01 v6 , ive driven the 2002 z28 and i know haw fun that was, but i know my 3.8 is no LS1 so i was just wondering what i could do in my new camaro

 

my friends 99 v6 topped at 118 to 120 and i think his 0-60 was 7 seconds. im not to sure.

 

i heard the v6 is limited to 119

 

like i said 118 to 120. is yours a 5 speed or auto?

 

The computer limits the engine to 125 MPH but that can be changed to 255 (the max setting the computer can accept and a speed not even the LS1 engines can make stock). A dyno shop can handle the mod for you.

I have had my car to about 120 and I was not hitting a rev limiter yet. The 0-60 time I have never timed myself so I cant offer you any there. I know the 3.8L engine in a 1988 LeSabre T Type can hit 132 (max speed). I got pulled over going that fast and didnt get a ticket or arrested either! Not a good night for me tho I had food poisoning and I got sick all over the officer when he would not let me open the door to puke on the ground.

0-60 is not important. A 2002 V6 Camaro can run low to mid-15's in the quarter.

 

its an auto btw, and how good is that 3.8 for smokin hondas

 

ive been to 125. i mighta went faster idk, the speedo stops at 125 so. my 0-60 with trac control on is 7.6 with a 5 speed stick

 

You should be able to smoke almost anything thats not a sports car, but not much else.

 

0-60 you'd be looking at around 8-9 seconds. I ran about a 9, but that was with an extra person beside me, so he kinda weighed me down a little. And it was also not 'officially' timed either, so it was a rough guess. I was told the governor cut off is 120. Haven't had a chance to hit that yet though. As for 'smoking' Hondas...eh, why waste the fuel? Smoke a v6 Mustang instead. Much more satisfying.
