I believe the 98 Z34 has the 3.8L, with the same power numbers as the 00-05 Monte Carlo SS. 200hp and 225 lb/ft.

If I remember correctly, I believe couch said the original engine was swapped out. Can't remember what he said is in it now.

Just found his intro from the new members forum:

Hey guys, after looking around this looks like the place for monte carlo's.

A little backround info on the car i purchased:

It's a 1998 z/34 full load and was purchased by my dad brand new. It was the first car i drove when i was 16, also the first car i crashed. I put it into a ditch backwards and ended up doing 3000$ in damage. Anyways up until 2002 my dad drove it. He sold it to a guy who blew the original motor after having it for two months. He replaced the motor (still 3800 but no supercharger) and my dad ended up buying it back. Now 2 weeks ago my dad decided to get himself a 07 SS trailblazer so i bought the car from him.

I am also slowing down the idea of street racing.

A few people have gotten killed out here lately.

But....when the TC pulled up next to me at my favorite freeway on ramp with 2 lanes that turn to 1 at about the 1/8 mile mark, I couldn't help myself.

This thing wasn't bad for a ricer thing it had going with the club decals and graphics and fart can and ground effects and about $10k worth of rims.

I'll let you all guess what the stock 3.9 did to this thing.

Oh I know!! Those TC's are S H * T! lol. This guy at work was buying one brand new orderedan 08, he said he had to, he didnt like me having the newest car in the parking lot. And he told me how he was going to run circles around me when he got it. So i got onto the highway with him, i was doin about 55, let him pass, he though he blew by me. he was up to 70, so i got on his *** and dropped it in second, and flew up next to him. looked at him and shhok my head, so he gunned it, I just kept up till i was bored, then I would speed up and pass him, and then slow down, just showing him I had power to burn. it was funny. This is after i had the 40's on so it sounded awesome driving in second gear. Anyway thats my TC kill story.
