BillBoost37 is a glorious beacon of light

I'm the first one to beat down Dodge/Chrysler, but yes all car makers have problems, they also have good and bad vechicles.

I'm still wondering who the heck designed the Aztec and came up with that toilet water brown color.....

OMG.... The 2.7 sucks monkey nutz.... I have driven 4 cylinder engines that would kill it in every way possible...

Have seen too many of those engines come apart.... As in fail, and even then they were taken care of...

The old 3.5 was a good bit better.... And the old pushrod 3.3 was just that, a 3.3L pushrod warhorse...lol

Drove a couple here.... That 2.7 was a totall dog... I was glad to climb back into the high mileage bonnie

And the Aztec....OMG... I knew pontiac was FUBAR'ed at that point...

Hey Don, I thought all Intrepids had the 2.7, the new ones anyway. But a week or so ago I saw a newer body style Intrepid with a "3.5 Magnum" badge on the trunk. :?

3.5 is a far cry better then the 2.7. The Intrepid R/T has the high output 3.5 which was then put into the 300M.

All engines have their problems. Ever try working on a Northstar?

btw I love my Northstar even when/if it breaks. heh.
