That engine will accept a supercharger, but the later VZ 3.6 chucks out about 290 bhp, so overall a better bet :y

Not even that much IIRC? Thought it was around 2.5 V6 power, and not exactly refined either. Trust me, I drove one across Canada. Stick to a 3.2.

Credit where it's due... Only the Yanks can make a 8.2 litre V8 produce 165bhp... So all told 175 out of a 3.8 V6 is heady stuff :D
