[align=center]I've been searching the web for Road Test on the 3.8 SuperCharged &[/align][align=center]for test on the new 3.9 L 242 HP Engines.[/align][align=center]I found the below test of a 3.8 SuperCharged 240 HP Monte Carlo[/align][align=center]https://www.neodata.com/hfmus/cdri/print_subs.shtml][/URL][/align][align=center][/align][align=center]Obviously, the biggest upgrade is what lurks under the hood—a Supercharged version of GM’s 3800 Series II pushrod V-6, which makes 240 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 280 pound-feet of torque at 3600 and is paired with a beefier four-speed auto. Compared with the standard SS, that’s an upgrade of 40 horsepower and 55 pound-feet.[/align]At the track, the Monte’s newfound power and chassis enhancements were evident. We ripped off 0 to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds and the quarter-mile in 15.1 at 93 mph, 2.1 and 1.5 seconds quicker, respectively, than the numbers put up by a standard SS 3.8(“Low-Impact Sports,” September 2002).
