I didn't think people actually disliked the 3800

The GM 60° V6, right? I hate that family of engines, but I can't confidently say that they're bad engines. Even if you're putting in a quart a week because your engine has decided to lubricate its external components, the engine will get you there

The 3800 was bulletproof in 1965 and it remained so throughout 2008

3800 is a 90 degree engine, the GM 60 degree V6 is unrelated and mostly unloved.

Truly a lot of great options in the sleeper performance category. The Taurus SHO is so obvious I should have had it.

I've owned 2 and still missed it myself so don't feel bad. Maybe they've just become actual performance cars in my head instead of sleepers.

Let's be clear, I had really expensive Conti run flat high performance summers on a 325xi and Vermont ripped up I-89 and left it grooved all summer. I got about 8500 miles on $1200 tires for a base model BMW. There was plenty of dumb involved.

They don't even make high sidewall tires in low treadwear ratings.

Nowadays, yeah. Back in the '90s, though... poo poo... 400 was super high and the 180s I was getting were reasonable and cheap.

I've never even heard of it before today but my desire to know more intensifies after me first typing out "who gives a gently caress about a performance minivan?" and then realizing what the gently caress I had just typed and slapped myself

the SRT10 Durango Tom Bailey now has was also going to be my vote but that's obviously not stock anymore

This was my thinking too. Other drivers being awful is a constant, salt is limited to the winter. I've had some great times driving in the snow because almost nobody else was on the road.

Of course snow brings out the plow truck drivers who just do whatever they feel like. One once passed me when I stopped at a stop sign, it wasn't even snowing yet.
