[QUOTE="Dirty Dog, post: 459321, member: 24042"] The automatic certainly doesn't help. But bottom line is that it just doesn't produce enough HP or torque for a 4,000+ pound vehicle that's shaped like a shoe box. If you look at the dyno chart below, you can see that the 3.8 is WAY under the 3.6 (which is not exactly a beast of an engine either) throughout the entire power band. Especially in the 1500-3200 range, where you spend the vast majority of your time driving. And also at the upper end, when you're really mashing the loud pedal. The only place it's even close (though still lagging) is in the 3300-4300 range. A range you'll not be spending any significant amount of time in. Flat torque curves are The Bomb Diggity.
