Car and Driver got a 15.3. And there's a guy on here somewhere whose dad took one to the track, and got a 15.3 and a couple of 15.2's.

Both cars were automatic V6's.

I've already beat an eclipse gt, and barely lost to an 04 mustang gt (5 speed). I dont even have 400 miles on my car yet. Im extremely impressed by the v6. It would kill my 5.0 fox body for sure, especially at high speeds.

I can believe it. I think it is pretty obvious that a 5-speed V-6 can get into the 14's, the only real question being how deep into the 14's it can get.

An automatic GT with the taller gears.....it does not take a vivid imagination to see one running the same kind of times or slower. This is even easier to imagine if it is not in a prime state of tune.

I got rid of my '88 GT the week after I got my '05 V6. My GT had the regular mods, headers, gears, exhaust, you know what the typical bolt ons and I know my new V6 would win after driving back to back.

Just some FYI.

What kills my times is the 1 legged traction action. 215 tires dont help very much either.

bone stock? manual or auto?

15.05 is very impressive. the 91mph seems awfully low though, at firebird i was trapping 91mph pullin 16.1 lol. (first time i went).

The V-6 is nothing to be ashamed of. Those are very impressive numbers. The bang for the buck is excellent. I came reaaally close to getting a black on clack premium. Man, it was/is a nice looking car.

sorry about the late reply, my 6 has true dual exhaust with vortech mufflers, a GT's airbox cover, and a tornado(same as the turbonator) 15.05 was my fastest the Ram had me off the line, his reaction time was better but i beat him by about 2 seconds

Cool, so you probably only pushin like what... 20hp over stock? unless the turbonator thing really does what it claims, then maybe 30-40. Still runnin the stock rear end and tire setup?
