Nice cars you got there.. my dad's got an intrigue also. His is a 2001 so it's got the DOHC 3.5L engine which is pumpin i believe around 215 HP ..its very peppy. Isn't the 3800 only like 195HP in the intrigue..somethin weird like that?

it's 200 in the GP, because of the restrictive intake and u bend. GP = Intrigue in disuise so maybe the same?

Intrigues are incredibley bottled up... :cry:

Much like mine was (well "is" but in progress) :wink:

Paulnold 10-30-2003 07:01 PM

hurtin
 
Didnt really look into horse power but any idea if Thetorque or gearing is the same as a bonnie :? ,bottle up how ,Like you mean the exaust or tb?Does the intrigue have the same chassis as the grand prix?

macho_mike21 10-30-2003 07:03 PM

the airbox situation in that intrugue is kinda funky...just begging for a CAI!

Jim W 10-30-2003 07:04 PM

I'm sure the gearing is different, as well as the PCM programming, intake design and exhaust flow.

All of these factor into lost HP and TQ counts....

I find the Intrigue is the Olds version of the Chev Malibu, probably have comparable numbers. I would give the edge to the Intrigue tho 8)
