It was 230hp of turbocharged American fury in 1990! And people say the US can't build sporty 4 cylinders.

Here's another.. the Cutlass Calais Quad 442. 200 naturally aspirated HP 4cyl.

I think it's funny how there's all these baby 'muscle car' derivatives in Europe. Where we got the car with a shit-tier 120hp 305cid V8, they got a downsized version with an 90hp I4 or something to that effect.

No doubt the Opel Rekord Sprint is a great example of that.

Mazda did everything that mattered, the 2nd gen escort was essentially a Mazda 323 for all intents and purposes. The GT Model is the one you want, coming with a Mazda-designed 5 speed and a 1.8L I4 Nearly identical to that found in the NA2 Miata.
You can actually swap the Escort GT motor into the Miata after rerouting some coolant stuff.

The lego-like build of my Saturn was actually a huge factor in getting it.
My last car was an LQ1. I didn't want another car that would be a nightmare to work on. My Saturn is 10 times easier to work on than your autotragic trailerpark special.
That said, I do like your car. But this Saturn is the easiest thing to work on ever.

>My Saturn is 10 times easier to work on than your autotragic trailerpark special.

The thing is, my trailerpark special rarely needs working on. Right now is the exception since it needs a 4th gear assembly and solenoids, but I could STILL put a battery in it today and put a fierce hurting on your lego machine.

Neither does my Saturn. It's never broken down with anything that couldn't be explained by my stupidity or the previous owner's. The biggest thing I've done to it was replace the transmission which was pretty fucked when I got the car. No problems since.

The transmission isn't that Saturn VTI shit or some terribad GM Hydramatic.
The Transmission is a Getrag 5 speed made in Italy.
How the previous owner managed to fuck an F23 is beyond me. But a replacement was just $200 from a junkyard with a warranty.
>>
>>11377993
>GM Hydramatic.

That's terribly vague. Every GM transmission since the 70s has been branded a HydraMatic, even with the nomenclature of 4T60 and 4L60.
>>
>>11377993

I've mulled over doing the Getrag swap in the GTP, but the cost outweighs my interest.
>>
>>11378013
Well, he said is wasn't a /terrible/ hydramatic.
>>
>>
>>11378013

The easy way to tell which ones are good is to look for the ones which end with big numbers.

TH350
TH400 - ✓

4T65E
4T80E - ✓

THM400
THM425 - ✓

4L60E
4L80E - ✓

etc.

How does that differ from the TH400?

>4L60E

Eh.... it's not bad if you build it up.

>TH400 - ✓
>4T80E - ✓
>THM425 - ✓
>4L80E - ✓

While those /are/ good, they're also all large and heavy and tend to sap power - which isn't usually good unless you're planning to brute force everything with ludicrous power.
>>
>>11378061

The TH350 is weaker than a TH400, at least when you're working with a torquey motor, especially big blocks.

The THM400 is FWD and the THM425 is a better FWD trans. They used those in the big block FWDs.

>While those /are/ good, they're also all large and heavy and tend to sap power

I swear people blow this problem way out of proportion. If you're running an auto trans, it's going to be heavy and sap power. If you don't want that, run a rock crusher and shut yer mouth.
>>
>>11378037

The THM425 was a bastard child that never should have been. Good luck finding parts.
>>
>>11378088

It was stronger than the THM400, and definitely stronger than the THM325 that ended up replacing it.
>>
>>11378077

Yes, autos are heavier and sap more power than manuals, but using a bigger transmission compounds the problem more than building up a smaller transmission. Between, say, the 350 and the 400, it's not so drastic, but just look up there between the 4T60 and 4T80. That IS a major difference.

Also, an exception to the rule of bigger number = better: THM 200-4R. WAY better than a 700r4/4L60.
>>
>>11378103

The 200-4R is shit, though. None of the overdrive transmissions with the exception of the 4L80E could really be described as "good".

I own one. Can confirm it's a pain in the ass to work on.
8 hours to change the alternator.

It is the first American designed and built DOHC V6. The Taurus SHO engine was designed and built in Japan, unlike this.

The manual was offered from 1991-1993. Sales of the manual cars were abysmal (about 3k a year per model) so from 94-97, it was automatic only.
The Funny thing is the engine was heavily detuned FOR the automatic. In pre-production, it made 281 HP, but the high revving bastard kept destroying every FWD automatic they thew at it.
