guys, check out this site... http://members.aol.com/Davedb/index.html .... it has info on the 1990 beretta indy pace car with a 3.1>3.4 conversion pushing 245 HP!!!! 0-60 in 5.8 sec. qtr mile in approx. 14 at 100 mph!!! only drawback is they used a custom made intake and an L98 TB. i bet the intake is mucho dinero.

EDIT: damn it, it didn't link....just copy and paste it.
EDIT #2: wtf?? now it linked

hey, we had one of those cars, it was fast.

 

.

 

Well originally that car was a lot of show and no go. My friend at college who is a Huge VW racer has a girlfriend that has one. Beautiful car, but the 130hp 3.1 just is not that impressive with the FWD tranny I guess. Anyways the one that guy built on the website is bad *** . I would like to see him hit the track with it, but he would pick up .3 sec if he would take all that stereo equipment out, but I think I would rather have the stereo.

If you are looking for a 245 hp V6, check out a 3800. They come with 205 hp stock, and with an intake(just a $34.95 K&N)and exhaust, its not that hard to hit 245. I'm a little sketchy on the sub 6 sec. 0-60 time though. I've never Gtech'd mine but its around the 8 sec range (stock). Cool site though.

 

Kyle, I thought FWD 3.1 had aluminum heads and 160 hp?

 

Bluntman, the 3.8 is a 90 degree block, unfortunatly.. it would basically be the same amount of work as a v8 conversion.. so if someone was going to go that far, there'd be no reason to stick with the 3.8 unless it was equipped with a turbo (or super, but I've seen sub-12 sec 1/4s out of the 3.8 turbos... (modified, of course)

You are totally correct, I was retarded there for a second. BTW, I have seen 8 sec 3.8 turbos.
