there has been 1, count em. 1 production based v6 mustang into the 9s. there have only been a few 10 second ones. (rygen being one of them) and only 1 of those on the stock block (10.99 with a 3.8 @ 17psi)
a gt can handle more than 450rwhp. there were people pushing 600rwhp + on the stock block, and i believe one guy that went 700rwhp or more. a gt can do 500rwhp on a good tune no problem. some guys on modfords have over 1 year, and 20k miles on 500rwhp+ on the stock motor.
saying the v6 can go to 450hp safely is a push too. sure im doing it, and buckman did it. his motor popped after only a few runs down the drag strip, and mine could go any day, who knows? i think 300-350 is "safe" (flywheel hp) for the v6. anything more than that, it doesnt take much. look at rygen, gas additive in the tank, kaboom.
do i think u can make a v6 as fast as a gt for the money difference? sure and itll be unique.
could i have gotten a gt? of course, would i pay dealer markup, not a chance. the 6 was fast when i bought it, and its rediculous now.

i thought the php car was still on the stock block...?
It is, though its a striped down track car. Its not a daily driver like our cars. Plus its on slicks. Here is a post I put up after talking to Paul on the phone after it went 10's. The car is for sale. It has the new head unit from Vortech, and notice how tall a gear he is running. At that power level, with that tall a gear and trap speed, the motor's got to be spinning past 6500, I doubt as a daily driver it would last long.

oh ok so we are only talking street cars. I can't imagine 4.56's, that'd be horrible for daily driving lol.
Now that it has been established that the V-6s are staying, does anyone have recommendations for significant HP gains apart from supercharging? A few horses here and there would be nice. It would be cool to surprise a few of the GT owners that I know.
You're not going to suprise a GT owner with bolt ons.... but if you have not done anything yet, get a CAI and tune and a new muffler. These two items really change the car for the better. Much better. I recommend VMP tuning.

you're right, but i left it out because its a gutted track car. a/c completely removed, 4.56 rear gears, gutted interior, only drivers seat, etc. it is trailored to each event.
ive seen a 9 second civic, but it didnt drive to the track, so its a 9 second drag car to me.

Mean looking car ya got there.
Your only real bet to run with the GT's without some sort of forced induction would be to go with a nitrous setup (preferably along with a decent intake and tuning).
My own preference is the X-Charger. 300 or so ponies at the wheels (which is all I really want/need in a street car). With the X, I see zero attraction in trading more or less laterally for a GT.

flywheel or wheel horsepower? an xcharger will get you to about 290rwhp, which is about 335-340 flywheel horsepower. a vortech/procharger will get you to around 320rwhp which is like 370ish flywheel horsepower a turbo will get you around 380rwhp or about 425 flywheel horsepower.
torque output will vary on each unit. the X will be around 300rwtq from about 2400rpm until 4500-5000rpm a centri will make usually about the same torque as it does power. the turbo on 10psi will net you around 410-425rwtq
all these assuming about 10psi of boost.
a gsx should be cake with just bolt ons, unless ur talkin about a modded to heavily modded gsx.
so turbo would be my best bet? if so can someone give me good site? by the was i like your mustang
