Probably not a good comparison, but I was driving around in my parents' Malibu, and it's got the 3.1 V6, 170 hp.... and it couldn't even hold a candle to the way my RA opens up speed...I mean, family car vs. sport compact is not a good comparison (gearing, etc...), but it goes to show you how well a job they did with this motor.
Oh...and I took my friend for a spin in the car, he was shocked when I told him it was an inline 4....he swore it was a V6.

GM's 3.1L isn't that good for power, underwhelming.
GM didn't spice up the motor until the 3.4l in the Z34. It didn't take too long before th 3.8L in the Grand PRix GT, not the SC version.
