Truth be told, my car had the pitiful 225 CID 90-degree V6, which was just the 300 CID V8 with two cylinders cut off! This was very early in this engine's development, and had a pretty rough idle (inherent to the 90-degree configuration) before GM added tricks to it, such as uneven firing, to make it smoother. Eventually, they got things right and it's the basis for GM's current 3800 V6 engine. I wound up doing an analysis on the higher order harmonics of this engine for my Mechanisms class in engineering school.
The car was my mother's, and she was looking to get rid of it after our cat peed in the back seat on the way to the vet's. Pretty nice car for me to drive my self to 6:00am swim practice in high school, solving two problems at once.
