My Specs: vs. His Specs:
STOCK 2005 Mustang V6 Auto STOCK 89 CAMERO V8 5-Speed

We'll it's normal thrusday night at work.. Everything is going wrong.. So after work i pull over to wal-mart to see who all i know. We'll no one was there that i seen so i started to leave and a couple buddies of mine was like this guy wants to race you.. I said what is he driving.. 89 Camero... I said he'll probably smoke me but ok, it's somthing to do and ya never know.. We Dragg a 1/8 Mile And they say go to the end of the bridge and we'll flag you both from down here.. We'll BEST of 3.. we'll I Brake torque to warm my tires up and we'll the , so i let off the break and i literally sit there roasting my tires... I left about 50-100ft of Rubber lying on the bridge.. And we pull into the curve at the end of the 1/8 and i'm barely behind him.. I keep telling my self only if i hadn't brake torqued it!! :bang: :bang: :bang: ...
We'll We pull back up to the bridge and they tell me dont' brake torque it.. and I Have it in Drive O/D off and and i floor it.. He pulls for about 10ft and then we ride neck and neck for a few and when we get to the end of the bridge i floor it and pull ahead (Ahead for about 1/2 of the 1/8).. And I'm about 1 Car Length in front of him.. So 1/1.. :drive: and we pull back down to the bridge and they was like.. ARe you SHIFTING?? OR In DRIVE and i said in DRive and they told me to try shifting..
I never did like using that auto maunal shifting.. So I said alright.. So We pull back to the bridge an i Moved it into first and held the brake.. (I don't like Netural Drop) and .. NECK AND NECK we both rode the bridge.. at the end of the bridge i pull ahead.. (I GOT HIM EARLIER ) ..
I pull back down to the bridge and they tell me the stats.. I had 2 WINS and He had 1 WIN. HERE IS WHAT V6 OWNERS HAVE THAT GT OWNERS DONT"!!!!!
Every Man standing around was like and thats a v6.. Runs better than i thought it would... :worship: I Love my v6.. You have so much more pride when you pull up against a AMERICAN MUSCLE v8 and BEAT HIM!!
But thats my borign story..

 

Yeah, I guess being the V6 underdog and coming out on top is cool, but I'de rather have the ability to do the same to a car that ISN'T sixteen years old.

 

Advantage over GTs or Camaro? I read thinking you were talking about you beating a mustang with ur V6. Might wanna be clear on that. GT != All V8 engines.

 

There's a Camaro GT? Or a Camaro V8?

Not all that Surprising. He more then likely only had ~190Hp.

 

umm dude... as much as i love the V6... a stock GT would have anihilated that Camaro more so than you did...

 

 

And 150K miles. OVERHAULIN'?

 

You can't discount that 150 miles, can you. That engines was probably so loose, it was about to fall out. :P

 

I think he was saying the "satisfaction" advantage of beating "V8 muscle" in an underdog V6. A satisfaction which he is arguing the GT owners would be deprived of. Not that his V6 would have any performance advantage over a mustang GT. Or at least I hope hes not that delusional..



Hence, my comment:

Everyone perfers something.. Note i'm 17 and i'll admit that i'm not able to handle the Power of the v8 Mustang. Before i breach into an area with more Power and More Muslce i would like to have a few years under my belt. And i believe thats a good cause for the v6. IT will not prepare you for all that power but you'll have a better reaction to handling it and learn throughout many situations. The Underdog is a great feeling... And yes it may be 16 years old but it's still a v8. I have beaten new models.. but it was nothing like this experience. But "AnotherMustangFan" is correct.. the Satisfaction is what i'm enjoying... Me beating a Mustang GT is possible on a few older models.. but i would not attempt the 05'+ Stangs..

 

A 2005 V6 mustang is probabaly a high 15 sec car. not fast by all means...

I'll race you in my V6 Grand Prix

 

It's a low 15 sec stock and mid/high 14 with intake&tune.
Fazm has accomplished this, I myself have yet to go to a track. :bang:

I agree it isn't fast by any means, but probably isn't "slow" either

 

high14 low15 sec is still slow...in a day stock 4 cyl cars running low 13 high 12.

 

Yeah, that's good for them, and that is quick.
But IMO there isn't a fine line on whats fast and whats slow. To me the current V6 is in that gray area where it isn't necessarily a slow or fast car.

 

i'd have to agree with manny there. last generations stock GTs ran 14s, and with very little work you can get a new V6 to that same level, so i'd say its a moderately quick car.

just outta curiosity wat does that GP run
and do you have the supercharged version?
