welcome to TR... our family has a 00 grand prix GT w/ the n/a 3.8... to me it feels like that things pushin more than just 200 tiny horses... but thats probably due to the 240 lbs of torque.. anyways this 2000 car has 126,000 miles on it.. yeah i know. my dad used to have a 94 GMC Safari (same as astro) work van... had 277k on the original 4.3 engine... talk about reliable engines... GM will always be #1 in my book
