OK, I've had my fun sending the "Fast & the Furious" rejects to Boy Racer hell. Not much of a challenge there. But within the past two weeks things picked up a notch. First some kid in a 91 Z28. Red light into oblivion; he hung with me until around 75MPH then I walked him by at least 2 car lengths. We exchanged the thumbs up and went our separate ways. Then day before yesterday, a guy pulls up along side in a black 89 5.0 Stang and we're toying. At the same light where I ran the Camaro, we go. A little different story here, he jumped me but I caught him at around 70MPH and went on to beat him by maybe a car length. This guy was pretty friendly and motioned for me to pull over in a strip mall lot. He wanted to see what it was that beat him. When he discovered I had a V6, he went from friendly to downright pissed off, walked off and got in his car and left. I guess he could not handle the embarrassment of being hosed by a V6. So if I had been driving a GT, would that have been OK?

People REALLY underestimate the V6. I've test-driven both the V6 and the V8 and that V6 does have quite a bit of power. The V8 definately outperforms it, but the V6 is not to be underestimated.
it was probably an auto GT... they ran low 15s , or they guy just cant race a 5 speed... no offence to ur v6, cause if it is taking down 5.0's and old school camaros then more props to u .... good kills

You may have 600 horsepower, but can u put it to the ground.
Are you sure it was a 5.0? His car wighs less and has more HP and Torque.
It was definitely a 5.0, it would be hard to mistake one of those and actually with my mods we were pretty even in terms of power.

An 03 v6 manuel stang stock to stock could stay right with if not beat the 5.0 the 05 would have no problem.
Keep dreaming ! not to many stock 99-04 V6 stangs running 14`s ! the 5.0`s that you may have ran most likely were beat to death and ran like ****, there are ton`s !
Somebody in a mint stock (if you could find one) LX 5.0 5speed ,that can drive , would run mid 14`s at mid 90`s , dont kid yourself ! stock for stock 5.0 win`s
Motor trend 1990 ` LX 5.0 , 1/4 =14.8 at 96.0mph, 0 to 60 in 6.2sec ,this is with 3.08.1 rear ! put just 3.73 gears and you have low 14sec!
Lets see some 1/4 timeslips of STOCK 99-04 V6 stang running that ! please I have waiting for timeslips , nobody seems to have ran there car at the track ,to have proof of Stock 99-04 V6 stangs running low 15`s !
I agree with ran260, the 03 V6 vs. 5.0, 5.0 anyday. As for rgensemer, I beleive he was referring to his '05 V6 with mods listed, which I believe!! Nice kills!!:thumbsup
