I call it domestic rice because it's a non-performance vehicle that you're trying to get performance out of. Aside from a big block Chevy Vega, that normally doesn't happen. I don't think anybody here is trynig to be a dick, we're just trying to make you see the cons of modding that 3800. It's a lot of money spent on a weak motor in a fairly heavy car, so the payout is very little. Shit, trade that Impala in on a '96 with an LT1 at least.

Plus, I still can't agree with those Flowmaster 40's on the 3.8. I've got some Flows on the Torino, with a 351ci big block V8, and it still doesn't sound all that good.
