Only a 4-cylinder engine and a 3.0-liter V6 had been available in 1988-89, but the 1990-93 Dynasty might have a 3.3-liter V6 instead. Base cars got the 100-horsepower 4-cylinder, whereas a Mitsubishi-built 3.0-liter V6 went into the LE and was optional in the base model. Built by Chrysler, the 3.3-liter V6 was an option for the LE. Four-cylinder cars got a 3-speed automatic transmission, but all V6 models had a 4-speed automatic.
There was a girl in high school who had a "die nasty", and that thing could scoot. If I were you I would pick your battles cause you always win first place in the looks department in a third gen
I'd honestly be careful. I've never driven a 3.3 but I've driven the Mitsushiti 3.0 in a dodge shadow (a little lighter than a dynasty but not much) and that thing could scoot. It couldn't take a 305 but I dunno about your 2.8, you've also gotta look at power to weight ratio.

I've driven our dealerships 3.3 powered short wheelbase caravan a few times. That thing is essentially a base model, stripped, nothing and the smallest one you could buy. I doubt it scales over 3,500 lbs. It is a DOG....My old 1987 GMC S15 Jimmy with the 2.8 TBI could walk it with ease.

Yeah, My brother gave him a run in his 97 Saturn. 1.9lDOHC CA Intake Premium Fuel. (Swears by it)
its been a while since anyones commented on this but if you haven't raced him you should have no problem beating him. a buddy of mine had a dynasty before he got his camaro and i used to beat it with no problem with my 2.8 fiero. so if a 2.8 firebird can't do it then there's something wrong.
Fieros weigh 1176 kg (2590 lb) to 1265 kg (2790 lb) and the bird weighs around 3100 I would assume. Power to weight ratio plays in My money would still be on the dynasty.
true. I'm not familiar with the 2.8 out of a firebird. whats the hp/tq? cause a dynasty can't be that much more i don't think. think the dynasty was maybe 170hp or something around there.

oh dear god... I joked in your other thread about the Civic that you'll probably race a Dodge Aries or Caravan next... and here you are, looking to race what pretty much ammounts to an Aries with an engine shared with a Caravan.
Is there anything we can do to get you to sell your car and go back to your Schwinn?
