231 CID Turbocharged V-6

Does this little engine look like something that could strike fear into any V8 it meets?  Well it does.  Labeled as the fastest production car in 1986 and 1987 the Buick Regal Grand National was powered by a SFI 3.8L V6 Turbocharged engine.  From the factory it pushed out 235 HP and 330 ft lbs of torque.  Of course we all know that they where under rated from the factory.  With a little tweaking, stock GN's are capable of easy 13 second quarter mile passes.
