Hi i was woundering is any 1 of u have alot of MOD in there V6 mustang ..
can the V6 be a very fast car ...
mine look good but if i want race some1 he will defently go fisrt
and what is ur HP ..?
and u can be which car speed ..?
and im not talking about a supercharge here not that kind of money ..
If you do some engine work and lighten the car you can. Port and polish your heads with some agressive cams, all the bolt ons, gears, driveshaft, sticky clutch, fats and skinnies, and take everything out of the car not needed, like seats, and you could probably do it. But what is the point of all that work to have a strip only car that is on par with a stock GT? Just go forced induction.
not the new 05's...but you're def. gonna run into the older ones, and those you definatley will be able to beat with boltons.
If I calculate out my RWHP, its about 255. New edge GT's have 260, I have 3.73's, and they dont pull much weight on me. The only thing I dont compare to is torque, a V8 will pretty always have us in torque N/A. I need to run a new edge to see how I fair. I know 98 and below is pretty much a lock though.

I assume you mean hp to the crank not rwhp. If you're 255 to the wheels, you're talking 285 at the crank.
Yeah, John's V6 would push me down and take my lunch money. But he has more mods than he might have spent on buying a GT, me thinks.
For over $5000 you can build a V6 that might hang with unmodded GTs but you have to ask yourself "What is the price difference between a V6 and a GT?"
Well, look at the base v6 price. Add a rear sway bar and a supercharger. You could still pull it out for less than a GT. Buy a brand new GT and pay the sales tax on it... ouch.

Stock as can be, just trying to reverse the damage the previous owner caused.

Ok.. I will only discuss this if we all remain rational and this does degraded into the tired old V6 vs GT thread...
First off, if I was buying a new Mustang today I would buy a GT... that's because today I can go in and get X-plan pricing... BUT... way back in March of 2005 the GT's were $3,000 OVER STICKER! Sorry, i never pay sticker for a car, let alone OVER! So given the X-plan discount I got on the V6, I was looking at an $8,000 difference!
Now personally I would rather spend that $8,000 at places like MRT where I actually get something physical that I can hold in my hands, than give the dealership one extra penny just because they have a car in stock... LOL!
Ok... that my story.. and i'm sticking too it!
BTW... i'll be posting about my lastest mod, Project Can Opener, later today... LOL
Can the V6 be a fast car and can it beat a GT?
