Im sick of my 6ixer.. I mean love it and I think it really is one of a kind.,but I think i have finnaly decided on getting a 2005+ GT vs my 03 6 banger.
Im about to turn 19 and im just tired of it.

1. I only live once and nothing is ever promised tomorrow so why not buy the car of my dreams while im here?
2. you have to pay to play and I understand that..Gas is a bitch but oh well ..style cost money.
3. Even if I do the supercharger package for my 6ixer ..I can only dream of touching a Gt.
4. If i do the supercharger....im forced to use premium gas.

I used to be one of those people who dreamed of owning a v8 with the 6ixer but...I cant take it any more. I cant take damn GT's, Mazda...even a damn saturn effing with me at the stoplight and me having trouble shutting them down.

I figure the GT will be 350-400 per month (Based on my down payment for the GT)+ my damn insurance which is already around 200/month...It'll probally go up to 300 something.


Am I a fool for wanting a GT? ...i mean they dont get much less mpg then us and hell ITS A GT!

Thats my rant..Im just curious as to what is holding some of the guys here back from getting a GT.

It's just a GT...

So the car of your dreams is a GT? [&:]

At 19 you want to make payments on a car?

It may sound like a great idea now but really... no... keep the sixxer, drive it hard, and don't worry about it when something happens. Just don't put anymore money into the car and save up for something a better, and if you want to upgrade, sell the car, use the money you've saved and then pay cash for the next car you get. I don't really plan on getting a new car for a while.

Wow, I haven't had a car payment in 6 years and I'm dreading going back to it. I know people that buy new cars every year, some that do it every few months. It's a poooooooor investment. And there's nothing like being 19 with a car payment due every month, have fun!

I prefer paying cash for my vehicles, but due to building my 6er, having a GT, and a truck, along with my girlfriend's car, that I DON'Tpay for, I'm gonna just go to the dealer, order my truck and make my payments for 3 years. [:@]

Oh, and being 19, have fun paying more like $450 a month + another $300 a month insurance since you have to have full coverage on anything that's financed, and would be stupid to not have full coverage on anything that you can't afford to replace at the drop of a hat.

So, have fun paying almost $800 a month to say you own a GT and then enjoy puting $4-5 a gallon gas in it, sounds like a GREAT investment. :eek:

and here we again. someone actually ranting about wanting to get the v8 brother of their car, and everyone telling him it's a piss-poor decision. do what you want. like you said, you only live once. posting that rant in this section was not a very smart move. to a lot (not all) of v6 owners, this is a very sensitive subject and is very taboo to talk about. you woulda been better posting it in the GT section.

what's funny is, GT drivers don't get uptight when people ask "why didn't you just buy a cobra", but a lot of v6 drivers get all up in arms when you ask them "why didn't you buy a GT?"

To Anser the question:

Its just a GT.
For the price I can buy a 98+ trans am / camaro [cry me a river]

And what do you mean if you do a s/c you can only dream of touching a gt? We've got people running low 12s, low 11s, low 10s, and high 9s. You can touch anything you want :D

your money, your life, your car, your way.

Screw what anyone else says or thinks, including me. ;)

i wish i drove a gt:eek:







nanaki's gt :D

For the right amount of money and a S/C you will not only touch a GT, you will smoke it. I've seen 4 bangers that the owners have built up that can take a GT. If they can do it, you can to. Before you spend all your money on a GT make sure you have a good job cause that's expensive, that's almost three times what I pay per month. I had a friend in the Marines about your age that wanted a bad a$$ 4x4 truck, he spent around $800 a month between payment and insurance. He could barely afford to drive it and never had the money to go on off road trips with us. We all bought older trucks and built them up, he bought a 2 year old truck that was already built up. Thik about the cost before you splurge like that. If you realy want it, save up some money so that you walk into the dealership with a large downpayment. That would lower your monthly payments enouph that yoy may be able to afford them.

why does everybody assume all GTs remain stock? if you put all that money in to a v6, there's a good chance you'll run in to a GT with a lot of money put in to it. especially if you're going to a track or car meets. GTs get just as modded as a v6.

Do what you want man. But I'm with some of the people that say don't get a payment. I'm still in school and God knows I want a nice, clean, fast car but first things first. Gotta finish school, gotta save money, gotta get a better paying job when I graduate with my degree. You can get a car with payments that don't seem like a lot but you gotta remember with payments comes full coverage too. You'll end up paying a crap load every month. In the long run what does it matter? I would rather save that money to do other things that mean more. If you are a millionaire and money isn't a thing then do what you like, either way do what you want!

I'm going V10 next time.

Your right, you do only live once and if you want to go out and get a GT, ya your taking a chance.....but that happens in life. I'm almost 19 now just like you and i just got my sixer, i guess realized that getting a GT was just too far out for me since i'll be going to college soon. When i was younger i always asked my dad why all the old people were driving all the nice cars! I just didnt get it at the time, but now i realize its because they took their time and invested wisely.

But w/e you decide to do, make sure that you can live with the decision.
best of luck

Ive already got460 cubic inchesin the garage. why would i want something with a puny 281 cubes?

I'm 20.I could go to the car lot right, trade in the car now+put a nice downpayment of about $2000 down and get a very nice new edge GTor an sn95 cobra (if I could find one).... no problem. Car payment would probably be less than the $190 a month I'm paying now, but the insurance wouldgo up some.

I suprisingly have more important things to worry about now than the car... college. The sixxer isstill a great car with lots of potential... thatI hope to get alotmore potential (supercharger... built engine)right after the time I'm graduate, andget aGT or ls1 f-bodythat hasn't been ragged to hell for a daily driver.

i see nothing has changed in the v6 section but memebers, same random why not a v8 topics with members butt hurt, OP get what you want man, who cares about gas we all need it so STFU and just fill up whats so hard about putting 150-200 dollars of gas in your budget guys?

If you are scared at the thought ofpaying for93 octane, chances are the GT payment and insurance is gonna rape your bank account. I run 93 with my tune right now, and I don'tget pissed off when I pay for gas. With the 93 tune, it's def worth it.. it's just the price you pay. [8D]

Find the balance between what you want and what you can afford. I sure as hell wouldn't be driving a V6 mustang if money wasn't an object, that being said, I am extremely happy with my car.

if i saved my money instead of doing things to my car and sold mine i could get a nice sn95 gt (i like the body style and would stay with it) but its my first mustang and its hard to let go of. I've had a few people i work with wanting to buy it off me or trade plus cash but I can't seem to let go of it.

ill show you how slow mine is ;)
[8D]

nah, i respect 4v's. i just wouldnt sell my sixxer for a 2v GT. by the time its sold, and i buy a 01-04 GT in similar condition as my sixxer with the same mileage, i will be in for what i soldmy sixxer for, plus around 4k. I'd rather not go through the hassel, and just problow the sixxer or put that 4k towards school.

It's just a GT... then again it's just your money. You're 19, I'd say keep the six and save like mad then pay cash for your next car, but hey you can do w/e you want![sm=sleeping.gif]

i got my v6 because of the fact it had really low mile 24k on an 04 and its a good car plus i can put some money into it and make it a little faster while saving up going to school and then when i graduate after a few years buy a brand new cobra or shelby and be completly happy with it with an 800 a month payment its going to suck to trry and do anything to your car or have fun in general when you have to work all the time to just pay it off

Well nothing is stopping me from getting a GT cuz I plan on jumping ahead to a Mach 1 or an 01 Cobra. As sum ppl may not know, last Christmas I was ran offthe road andmy car was totaled. Ive been saving up like a mad man and by July ill have enough to buy one with cash alone....yes we only live once but do it right and dont fuk up your life or credit by not being able to afford your car payment and insurance. If you can afford the increase then by all means go for it.

I'm 30, and I have a steady job in a career that I have worked in for 8 years. I own a home, have a wife and 6 yo daughter.I bought a v6 because everything about it is cheaper than a GT, everything including mods, insurance, payments, parts, tires (stock),gas, etc. Financially, it is a MUCH smarter move to buy cheaper, the next guy that blows his whole wad on a 8 banger can have fun pushing his car cause he can't afford gas. I guess I am older than most of you guys because I just don't get butt hurt when I see a GT. 6 or 8, they are all mustangs.

you're barely older than me grandpa lol, but i feel the same way.

I came very close to buying a GT500 last year, just to keep in storage. I am sooooo glad Ipassed that deal up. It was gonna only cost me $1550 a month with no money down, 0% interest and it would be paid off in 3 years. ICAN afford to pay a car payment that high, and I looked at it from an investment standpoint, very long term. I'm glad i bailed on the deal because now there are dealers selling below sticker and still can't move them in some areas. Espescially since they are by no means a limited production, it's just making how ever many they can sell.

I'd rather have a car i'm more willing to enjoy, now. After planning out one investment car, I won't ever own a car I can't drive the hell out of until I can afford to have many cars that don't get touched at all. Saving what is now a "run-of-the-mill" GT500 just doesn't seem like a thrill to me, I have too many friends with them, so the nostalgia is wearing off quick, espescially when they all want to take a spin in my sixer lol

i personally got a 6 because of insurance. im 20 and have an accident on my record so my insurance is about 200 a month. a gt would be about 330 a month. thats not a ton but while in school i cant justify it. i would love to have a v8 but when that time comes it will be a camaro. nothing against the mustangs i just like gm and the camaros more than ford and the mustang.

I think it's funny that sixxer guys have dreams of a GT, GT guys probably dream of the cobra, and cobra guys wish they had a GT500. I say, be happy with what you have, we all have reasons why we bought the cars we own, but quit with the shoulda, coulda, woulda already. If you really want to upgrade, make it happen and quit crying about how GT's look down on you yada yada yada. I'll tell you a little secret, v6's are the only cars GT owners CAN look down on. My old neighbor used to crack me up with his lies all the time about his 96 GT. Oh yeah, it's so fast, it run's 11's blah blah blah. I'm like, yeah, what mods do you have. He tells me it's chipped with exhaust. He thought that car was SOOO Fast, I just laughed at him. He felt a little bit of torque and thought his car was the ****!:eek:

only think i regret not buying a Bugati Veyron.

seriously, I don't care that I don't have a GT, you can make anything faster. I do however miss leather seats, a rear sway, and an LSD rear.

Not everybody. It didn't stop me, I made a sensible decision and saw it as a poor investment and I turned out to be right, so yay me!

I have a GT, and a v6, and an F150 fully p&p'ed with lt's, offroad y-pipe, catback, programmer, 10" lift, 4.56 gears, eaton lockers, and much much more lol.

I never "envy" anyone over their car. I have what I have because I wanted it and I've done what I wanted to do to it. I am very proud of my corral of vehicles, and i get compliments all the time which make doing it that much more fun.

My favorite statement when people ask me what I have done to my car is to say, "It's just a v6 with a few mods" and their jaws drop every single time.

LS1 all the way!

If I can't find a good camaro or firebird (I want the ws6), then I probably settle for a GT... possibly a s197 since this will be in about 3 years.

whats stopping me from getting a GT is gas prices, because i dont know what type of gas mileage id get on driving in the city/back roads (i live in the country, so most of my driving is back roads) I am 17 have a decent, steady job. I plan on going with either a v6 and turbo'ing/supercharging it. or a GT and saving up a little bit and then s/c or turboing it! Cheapest GT's i have foundare: 2000 GT w/ 94k miles, 5 speed for $6500 OBO

my parents want me to get an auto over a stick. but personally i can get use to a sick (i can already drive one w/o stalling too much haha)

all in all its gas prices/mileage that is making me choose between v6 and v8!

I dont care what anyone says man we all wish we had a bigger engine ! Plus your gettin the new body style i say F*CK YEAH DO IT!

Exactly...

I'll add one more comment,

Life gets a whole lot easier when you realize that you don't have to screw, punch, or race everything with two legs in a half mile radius of you.

Eh, I have two GT's and I'd still drive the v6 over either one of them. Then again the v6 isn't even close to stock but then again neither are the GT's.

Go get a nice used corvette. I did, don't regret it one bit. For the price of a new gt, you could pick up a nice used c5, or a special c4 like a LT4 or the zr1. The 90-95 zr1s are just wow.

Or you could go for an 03-04 cobra :D

i haven't driven my GT in awhile. it just sits in the garage now. it's too much for the street for me anymore. mine LOOKS like "just a GT", and i've actually been thinking about keeping it if it doesn't sell soon. i've just been driving my fiance's civic to work and the BMW on the weekend. well... this weekend i've been taking the c6 out though:D

^^ may i ask what you and your wife do for a living to beable to have a 07 c6 vette, mustang gt, civic and 07 bmw?

Whats stopping me? I mean c`mon 260HP 15k mustang vs a 18-20k 400HP 2005 GTO....hmmmmm yeah thats what will always stop me...i was going to trade my 6 and 1500 cash for a same year gt a few month back...after I drove it I wasn't really impressed and It was a full bolt on gt!!!! So whats stopping me is I"m selling my v6 next month for a 2005 Pontiac GTO...yep!

insurance, money to buy gt, and the fact im in college and want to not worry about diffrent insurance, my parents asking why i needed to buy a new car and arguing to put it under there insurance. other than that once i get out of college and get a real guarenteed job i will buy a gt or cobra or atleast a v8. working as a waiter is great money but not guarenteed.

she's not my wife yet, and she does not work at the moment. dont worry about what i do. there's plenty of people that have more and nicer cars than me, so i'm nothing special. i will be looking in to trading up the 328 for a 135 or 335 next year probably :)


insurance on all my vehicles is $230/month for full coverage up to 300k. it's that high because my fiance has a couple of tickets. when she turns 25, 2 of them will get wiped off and she'll get her 25 years old discount, then the marriage discount on top of that. i can't wait! :D

I can't wait to get my married discount, the 25 was great, but it rarely drops anymor now. I get the good driver discounts and stuff, but my soon-to-bewife has 1 or 2 tickets and I'm not looking forward to picking up the rates on her record.

$4.06 for 9/10 of a gallon.... i doubt much explaining needs to be done after that

The gas really on a gt would be about the same as our 6's...

Hey now that i've had my car re-tuned its getting about that out of boost... :D

Ifyou can afford a GT or are willing to sacrifice what you must in order to get one, then by all means get a GT. Only you know your financial situation and like you said, you only go around once in life.I'm probably one of the older guys in the sixer forum and I have a 98 V6. I have a 98 V6 for one reason,it runs good. No engine mods andonly a few cosmetic upgrades and I'm perfectly happy with my car. Igrew up in the age of muscle cars so the V8isn't that important to me anymore. I've had a 69 Road Runner that came with the 383ci engine but I put a 440 six pack in it. I've had a 1970Camaro SS witha 350ci big block and some serious engine, tranny and rear end work done on it and I've had a Buick Skylark Custom Convertable which had a 327 chevy small block.Then again,Sunoco 260 octane was only 65 cents a gallon.

Yeah, the days of daily driving a big block MOPAR are OVER!! I don't quite remember gas being 65 cents a gallon, but I do remember 97 cents a gallon, and 100 octane. The gas was a hundred times better, and whole hell of alot cheaper. Now you get this watered down, 87-91 octane here in CA, and my little ol' sixxer pings every once in awhile, what a joke gas is now!:eek: Ok, i'll quit now, I'm starting to feel like a cry baby whining about gas prices, but I remember putting in 5 bucks when I was a younger and getting a quarter tank and crusing all day racing around.

I have not read this entire thread so I'll just answer the original subject.

I don't know if the 05+ have fixed this or not, but the reason I did not get a 99 - 04 GT was the fact that some folks destroyed their thin aluminum heads when pulling out spark plugs. I read they strip out of the hole.

I also readby around 90k miles, manyeroded their cam chain tensioners and the chain would slap around causing more damage.

I did not want to take a chance on these things as I keep cars a long time. The mpg bothered me a bit also.

I bought an 01 v6 auto 3months ago.

i can honestly say that's the first time i've ever heard that. there's folks on this forum alone with boosted/juiced new edge stangs with well over 100k miles. :)

If you can afford it and want the GT, then get it. You're right....you only live once. Oh...and by the way....life is short too.

Most people out there probably don't even know whether your car is a V6 or V8, but if it is bothering you....maybe it is time to make a move.

If winning the stoplight battles is important to you, then get the GT. You still won't win them all, but you should do better. I tend to be a bit gun-shy at a lot of stoplights, because of the frequency of drivers running red lights these days.

I hear you. I've had pony/muscle cars most of my life. I had a 73 Mach 1 during the 73 Oil Embargo, and had V8s, right up until 90, when I got a 91 Eagle Talon TSi AWD (turbo 4). Then I got my Z-28 and next came the Eclipse GT. I like the V6 Mustang that I took over after my father died and have been enjoying it a lot. Sure, it is down in power from my Z-28 and isn't even as quick as my Eclipse GT, but it is agreat looking car and does everything I need it to do. Sometimes, it's nice just to be able to be happy with what you have. Plus, not having car payments is a good thing.

the only thing stopping me is insurance costs


meh.. if you ask around, insurance isn't that huge of a deal. mustangman is trying to buy my 04 GT and it's actually CHEAPER than his v6 [&:]



yeah, my friend is getting a GT this week actually and he got a quote and his isnt bad, for having it on his dads name.. which i do also

but i was 16 when i got this car, so the GT for me last year would be a lot more than what my friends about to be paying at 19 years old



i know ill be getting a GT after this car, i just dont want to wait =[

I just said effe it and went all the way lol...and its paid off

w00t w00t deployment and bonus money [8D][8D]

Nothing is stopping me from gettina GT cuz im skipping ahead to sumthing better. All GT's here in the yay are all beat on....but whenI first got my sixxer it was because of a 16yr old and my high insurance bill. A GT was just out of the question..but now....i can get something more potent hehe

ok yeah.
i have a sixer,and i love my car.my mom has a gt and i love it to.its not mine and im fine with that. On the part about not even touching a gt. its not the car it's the driver. You can do it if you beleive in yourself. Just go and get a few changes. Loose some weight [ delete the back seats would be a good choice at first ] and loose weight = more speed.
Just do research and see what all you can find. If you want a gt buy one if you want one for you. Dont buy one because people think you should have one rather than a sixer. you could always turn your sixer into a undercover gt.
GOOD LUCK

Unless your V6 has a lot of engine and driveline mods plus a good tune you won't even touch a GT.

depends on the driver hun. everyone knows that. you should also.
some sixers stock can touch a stock gt. because of the drivers.
it wouldnt be as easy if the gt wasnt stock and the sixer was but it could be possible.
but its mostly the driver.

Um, not so much. Take ANY v6 to the track against a GT and the GT will beat it.

no comment on that one.
but still its the driver of the car not the size of the engine.

Mine beats GT's at the track

That would have to be one messed up mentally challenged coma patient driver for the stock gt to lose to a stock v6.....

Perhaps so, but we are comparing vehicles stock for stock.

Geeze there are a lot of smartasses and idiots on these boards.

Stock for stock a v6 Mustang will NOT beat a Mustang GT. I am also calling BS on your comment for beating a "heavily mooded" s200 with your v6 that has very few mods. A STOCK s200 will run in the high 13's/low 14's with any sort of decent driver. Do you have a vid to back up your claims?

i laughed at the new person messin with mysteed. hilarious right there.

ORIGINAL: bardock

Im sick of my 6ixer.. I mean love it and I think it really is one of a kind.,but I think i have finnaly decided on getting a 2005+ GT vs my 03 6 banger.
Im about to turn 19 and im just tired of it.

1. I only live once and nothing is ever promised tomorrow so why not buy the car of my dreams while im here?
2. you have to pay to play and I understand that..Gas is a bitch but oh well ..style cost money.
3. Even if I do the supercharger package for my 6ixer ..I can only dream of touching a Gt.
4. If i do the supercharger....im forced to use premium gas.

I used to be one of those people who dreamed of owning a v8 with the 6ixer but...I cant take it any more. I cant take damn GT's, Mazda...even a damn saturn effing with me at the stoplight and me having trouble shutting them down.

I figure the GT will be 350-400 per month (Based on my down payment for the GT)+ my damn insurance which is already around 200/month...It'll probally go up to 300 something.


Am I a fool for wanting a GT? ...i mean they dont get much less mpg then us and hell ITS A GT!

Thats my rant..Im just curious as to what is holding some of the guys here back from getting a GT.


Good god, no patience. I wanted a GT when I got my 6er almost 9 years ago (24 at the time). A number of things held me back at that time. For one I didn't want to rent a place, I wanted to BUY a place. Very hard if not impossible to do with a big liability on your back of a GT (Insurance for 25 yr old and under, on their OWN car insurance policy not mommy and daddy's is over 3K a year). Now at 34 I bought an 08 GT. But I also have my house, my pool, my home theater room, etc etc. If I was having to fork out money hand-over-fist at your age for a carI would never have had the money or patience to afford my own place.

Get your priorities in order. A car should be at the bottom if you're still living at home or renting [:'(]

With those mods I'm still skeptical. I'm sorry man but there is no way you can pull a 2.4 or 2.2 60' and still make all of that up on the top end. I can see your car running a 15.6 but not a 15.1.

I'm running n/a w/stock engine, just all the other stuff, and ran a 14.9 with a 2.2 60'. I believe I can hit 14.7 with suspension and traction.

I ran with bad street tires...

It was apretty coolnightthough...
That's how I ran such a good time...

you must have a lot of weight reduction to run a 15.1

Look at his mod list versus yours. I can see you running high 14's but he should be in the low 16's/high 15's.

His mods:
Spec Stage 2 Clutch, Diablosport Tuner, Racing Plugs and Wires, Synthetic Oil, Removed Silencer, and Weight Reduction

Your mods:
FRPP 4.10 gears, FRPP Trac-lock, Cold Fusion N20, FRPP 13" front and rear brakes, Bilstein shocks, Spec Stage 2 clutch, Spec billet flywheel, FRPP quadrant, FRPP adjuster, FRPP clutch cable, Bilstein shocks, MAC cai, MAC longtubes, MAC H-pipe, Magnaflow catback, Steeda Tri-Ax, and SCT Xcal2.

And yes, timeslips can be manipulated too. Hence why I asked for a vid.

I'll drive down to HRP to watch you run a 15.1 with the mods you say you have, just give me a date and i'll bring the video camera.

Well it would seem that on here I DOhave the fastest, non-p&p, n/a 6er. No weight reduction other than removing the spare, unless a billet aluminum flywheel counts.

Here's my original post from 6/2/07


Well it's friday night again, time to revive this thread.

WE NEED THIS SUCKER TO BE A STICKY OR SOMETHING!!!

I got my new best tonight, still room for improvement off the line and shifting though. If I can get wheels spacers I can run my drag radials, and new control arms will really help, just need to order some.

60' 2.152 <----CRAPPY!!!!
1/8 9.629
1/8 MPH 72.82
1/4 14.980
1/4 MPH 91.64

Same mods, again, no port work, no juice, all n/a, just bolt ons, full interior, and only 3.55 gears, not 3.73's or 4.10's.

Ryan

I'm pretty sure other people with similar mods can run faster than that, I'm not the world's greatest driver, but I ain't bad.

I agree, but most of that stuff doesn't help and the nitrous isn't on. I also ran with 3.55's not 4.10's. I bolded the things that did help, and i was on street tires. There definately are a lot of factors, I run .2 slower at one track than any other I've ever ran, no matter what.

This was the first time the car hit the track, 3 months after I bought it in stock form. October 2006 DHRA event only stang allowed to run.

That's right a 15.18, the first time I ever drove that thing in 1/4, it had been 4 years sinceI had been down the 1/4 in anything. I can't remember all the mods, but most of them were there then.

You'd be surprised how some of the small stuff does affect your time in the 1/4. The whole FRPP clutch package allows you to adjust the clutch to where you feel comfortable and that really makes a difference on the launch and shifting.

When I still had my stang (exhaust, cai, tune, gears, and tlock), My vette would destroy it withunder half throttle. If you don't tear into the engine (heads, cam, bottom end, intake) or go with a power adder like a supercharger, forget running with a gt, Unless it is a stock, run down 5.0.

And if you beat somebody that can't drive, what does that prove???

Wow, after posting that response, I saw the original thread topic. Talk about off topic! [sm=oopssign.gif]

The first time I launched it, I had moved my seat forward in the Corbeau brackets, and when I launched hard off the line the damn driver's seat slid all the way back as I was trying to catch 2nd gear, it sucked lol

A mustang Gt is the car of your dreams? Wow, you got boring dreams. I want a Saleen S7

The V6 vs V8 thing is all a driver in the end. You get some idiot in a GT that can't launch, can't shift and hits the rev limited and spins alot vs a V6 who can bang gears like he was born in a car, and the V6 walks.
Many people saw a Terminator run 13.XX at the V6 Ford Challenge this year. Anything can happen with the right/wrong driver. Obviously the right driver could lay down way better. But this was a run that was really laid down.

Just to further prove your point. There is a show where 3 guys bet on what the car will run in the 1/4 and a Termi came up, bone stock, and the owner couldn't do any better than a 15.45!

What I think makes a good driver is when you can hop in someone else's car and drive it faster down the 1/4 than them.

Hmmmm, I don't see a mod list. If you're boasting over a stock GT, slap yourself and say your sorry. I know, it's probably the fastest car you've ever owned, and you think it's the fastest car ever, and you're probably barely breaking 14's (being generous), but newsflash buddy, GT's aren't that impressive unless there highly modified.

the fact that i DONT have a mod list should tip you off. i dont feel the need to have every single little mod in my sig. dont worry i got something for both of yall[sm=badbadbad.gif]

Looks can be deceiving my friend ;)

Nope, I see what I see. No cage, so you aren't running 11's. Stock brakes /suspenion and aftermarket Heavy chrome wheelstell me you don't know much about over all performance and haven't invested money well. With that set up, you can't launch well for certain. With thatrideheight, it's not an open track car. I'd guess street car.You keep hinting at power, so I'm guessing you added a blower and think you are king of the world.

How close am I?

Hey now, only a few of us can brag about our powerand have banged up passenger side front fenders lol

My new fender is here, just gotta drop the car off and get everything all prettied up.

lol no i dont have a blower. and where did i say im king of the world. all i did was comment on that chicks oberd comment about a v6 mustang (which are very slow for a v6) being able to hang with a gt.. honda civics can hang with if not beat em..thats pretty sad. then u get all butt hurt cause i told that one dude(who i know from another forum) that i would pull him.

you guys are too hotle in the v6 section lol..

but on a lighter note. about the only thing unchanged on the car is the springs. my car is set up to autocross. this is a DD car so a roll cage would be overkill.

i have:rear control arms, full length subframes, bullitt shocks/struts, panhard bar, ss brake lines, slotted rotors, aluminum driveshaft, full bolt-ons, 4.10s and all that jazz.

wednesday night i was at the track and on my first run, i was a car lenght to a saleen at the 1/8, and over all he ran a 15.1 to my 15.801the kid told me not bad for just a GT[&:][8D]i really think he teared up when i poped the hood and he saw it was a 6

maybe the v6s are slow, but for what they are, so are MOST GTs, come on mid 14s for a V8 "pony car", back in 98 you could get an LS1 that ran low 13s if not 12s, and a GT was still NPI then, which would be uhhh low 15s.[8D]hell a god damned v6 accord runs mid 14s

gts turn 13.9 in stock form. theres a guy in the 4.6 section that turned 13.7 stock like 5 times lol but he weights like 130 lbs er something wak like that. they are capable cars for bein a 4.6.. if u turn a 15 in a new edge u fail forever lol. thats just piss poor driving i bet the guys 60' was like 2.7 haha.

but i mean seriously, iv read a couple threads in the v6 section and even on my local forum we get into this topic all the time. u put a guy in a gt that can atleast row the boat and is an average driver the v6 will get beat by SECONDS lol. u cant base your cars image off the 2% of ppl who cant drive period on your basis for the v6 being able to hang with the gts... thats like saying a gt can beat a termi...not gonna happen haha

EDIT: but i cant stress enough, im not trying to pick a fight. this is all in conversational fun. but its comments like this:
ORIGINAL: MustangMan628

V-6 is for real drivers. Go buy a Jetta if you want gas mileage and a chicks car. Buy a V-8 Mustang if you have no driving ability and need the extra horsepower to compensate and feel like you're fast.

that give v6 ppl a bad name.. you buy a v8 to start at a good platform. this kid in town spent a couple grand on h/c/i, full boltons yadayada just to be at stock gt power.. i mean why spend all that money just to be at stock specs? i can understand if thats all you could get is a v6(i almost ended up with one) but some ppl defend em to the death. are there really ppl that think they are better? a ford v6 is nothing to brag about, just my .02

Set up to auto X on stock springs - nice. The only thing unchanged on the car is the springs is a bit of an over statement, don't you think?

And for the record, go re-read your "Looks can be deceiving", "I've got something for ya'll" and sig comment type posts - and then tell me you aren't hinting at more. You'll get attitude from us with comments like that. I'd be careful, because there are some of us out there who love to wipe the floor with GT/Cobraowners who talk like that.

lol well considering most v6 owners on this site will not be pushing over 270WRHP im not to worried bud, or be in the 300 range with torque. and why would i "overstate my mods" thats kiddie ****

I don't know why you would over state your mods.... you are the one who did it, not me.
I never claim anything I don't have, nor would I suggest my car can do something it can't.

haha well considering most "modded v6 mustangs can barely hang with a STOCK gt of course im going to be confident. and i never claimed i had anything i didnt so i dont understand why ur so butthurt about anything. and also, on a DD im not gonna lower it that would be stupid. i paid good money for my LTs id like to keep em undented and scraped. ;)

BUT your welcome to drive your car down to san antonio and try your luck some time, just send me a pm when ya come down!

EDIT: and i love your sticker! do they add HP to that massive v6 power? i should totaly go get some, i would look so cool repping my BFG tires!

i hope this guy isnt the "cool guy" of the v6 section..your a straight up toolbag dude

Sticker adds nothing. I never said it did. I can get enough power out of my little V6 to be confident. That is all I need.

Do you have free time Tues ? Or if I show up in San Antonio will you be like 100% of the other V8 owners who talk smack to the little V6 guys, then when I say ok I'll be there, you don't show? Last time a Cobra owner got all whiny in here claiming he could beat ANY V6 on this forum in reverse. I called him out on it, and he never replied. I even made a post in that section to get him to show up, and he did nothing but cough up excuses.

Don't call me 'butthurt". You came in ragging on V6 cars andsaying "I've got something you ya". I call you out on some little white lies you hoped to let slide and now you are crying.

And to be up front, what are you running?

My car is a 2000 split port V6 5 speed. All my mods (both motor and suspension) are listed in the sticky at the top of the V6 section. I just dropped in a new motor set up over the last couple of days. I'm not even fully fine tuned yet, but I can make it if you will.

lol sure i got time on tuesday come on down! it was a joke about the stickers dude(i have 1 on my 1/4 window).. lol even if i lost i would not care. how much have u spent on your car honestly.... and how much power do u make. i bet it FAR more than i have on mine.. i rag on nobody. you are getting butt hurt lol.. your the only one taking everything seriously. and no i have not lied about any of my mods. the fact that ur saying im telling white lies about mods is fuggin funny. lol i dont even have anything outragious.

so come on down lol ill meet up with ya.

now your just asking for it, good luck racing lilroush, you WILL need it

and i dont know about yours but my LTs hang no lower then the stock exhaust so why would you worry about dinging them?

To answer your other question, I built a V6 for a local guy with the only goal of killing modded V8s.
He got a $3000 98 V6, $300 Super coupe short block, $200 heads/lower intake, $2500 on an M112 set up, $300 used 8.8 with 3.55s and some free 4 cyl springs in the back. With a tune, he put down 440+ to the wheels and spent less than $6900 total.
My car has been with me since '02. I think this is motor set up #4 or 5 for me, three different power adder set ups, 3 suspension set ups to get where I wanted it etc etc...... So asking me how much I've spent vs how much to get a car made like mine is two different things.

**** i already hit my lts when im driving. almost every day when i pull into my school i bonk em on this 1 speedbump. i have about 4 or 5 inches between my lts and the ground, any lower and it would just be a nuisance.. not everyone feels the need to ride low to da earf lol

and ow is what i said untrue? short of a blower.. not much i could do. and kudos dude glad u can build a car. iv spent a total of 4 grand on mods(including a sound system) with 500 bucks i could max out the stock block on the 4.6 with some juice. thats 4500 for a better sounding car with more potential lol. you cant lose with a v8 WIN WIN.

max on a 4.6 is 450hp....... keep trying:eek:

ORIGINAL: mustangman02232

max on a 4.6 is 450hp....... keep trying:eek:


is my math wrong? 150+270=420.. thats about the sweet spot for staying reliable.. i wouldnt want to push it past that, especialy with giggle gas, and a stock lower intake.

no point in fighting...

lilroush = very fast

HOSS = deep rumble of a v8 and got the car he wanted...

everyone is happy.. no need to fight if you love ur own car. who cares what anybody else drives

why dont you go read lilroush's mod list cause you obviously have theattitude of nothing can beat a v8 just cause

ill even link it to you, post #11 http://www.mustangforums.com/m_3139830/tm.htm

ehhh... some guy blew his motor with 441 i believe(or maybe it was 414)... thats lower than 450 :D

its all in the tune... i personally wouldnt go higher than 375 simply bc i DD my car.. but than again i wont have a supercharger for a longggg time

Sounds better? Just your opinion.
More potential? You max out your stock block at 450 hp. The V6 block takes over 700 and has yet to be cracked. Who has more potential?

Keep trying......

MADDNESS!!!! haha ok im done in this thread. pm me if ya wanna drive lil roush ill meet ya, u sound like u got a pretty well built car.

Well, if we aren't racing then I guess it is dead.

dollar for dollar the v8 will ALWAYS pwn a ford v6 dude.. i dont see why your trying to put up such a fence here. your fighting againt the laws of physics here...

but im done.. yall are way to thick headed in here.

this thread fails
http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m244/mustangman02232/failboat-1.jpg

Nope, I've proven time and again $ for $, the V6 wins each and every time. Trouble is the V8 owners hate to have the facts, so they ignore them.

V6 > V8

now lets be happy :D

whos not happy, right now im to drunk to care who has what mods or who has what done or whats better[8D]its a god damned mustang

you can buy a ls1 for less then a GT, and they have more power, why not get one

or a mid 90s viper is down to about 30k, about the price of a new GT, why not buy one of those, it has 2 more cylenders then the GT[8D]

lol i got a buzz goin too..and posting from the ****ter FTW haha..

but seriously tho roush..if the v6 is so damn high and mighty..and is that much better. Why on earth does ford keep pumping out special edition v8s? there is no replacment for displacement dude. i will say this though, if ford actualy does pull the trigger on the TT 4.0 in 2010 ill get one. hopefully it will be a forged bottom end and maybe ford will actually do something right this time.

If the V8 was enough to sell Mustangs, why doesFord make a V6 at all? Oh wait, it's because that is what sells and keeps the line alive. The reason V8s are around is because people aredead set inan old way of thinking. It doesn't not take extra displacement to make power. It takes thought. If therewas no replacement for displacement,wouldn't the old 351 make more power that the newer 281? I mean come on, those dino motorsmake the same hp as a 3.8L V6 with good exhaust. Shoot even the beloved 5.0L 302makes the same hp ad tq as the 4.2L V6 from Ford.

As far as I know Ford only kickedout two or three "Special Editions".... so that isn't a lot. GT500,GT/CS and thesoon to be Bullitt again.

if you haven't noticed, technology is getting more advanced, so smaller engines are making more power. hell, look at the M3. that's like a what, 4.2L making 400HP. as time goes on, they're gonna have smaller, faster v6's, as well as smaller, faster v8s. you really can't compare a newer 6 to an older 8. that's like comparing an S197 GT to a 1985 ferrari mondial pushing 214HP.[&:]


and not everybody buys a stang to upgrade it. that's why they offer a v8 GT option, and the special edition ones. those few people that want that extra unf without having to modify, just get the GT and call it day.

now, the newer mustang coming out.... i honestly don't know if i would want the v8, or the TT v6. especially if the v6 comes completely forged from the factory.

depends on the driver hun. everyone knows that. you should also.
some sixers stock can touch a stock gt. because of the drivers.
it wouldnt be as easy if the gt wasnt stock and the sixer was but it could be possible.
but its mostly the driver.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ill give you a head start, miss 1st 2nd 3rd and still beat you.. that is the most ludicrous statement EVER.


Can I take that race :D



if all u got is that park bench wing and 255 ur gonna be in for a LONG day bud

You are absolutely correct. The v6 line is what keeps the Mustang ALIVE!! I know you youngsters probably don't remember the Grand Nationals, (suped regal) but the guy who built my tranny has a twin turbo GN and that son of a bitch is a no joke. I saw him eat this monster chevelle up with no problem and the chevelle was running high 11's. People hear v6, and start bashing it beause there ignorant, plain and simple. People always talk **** about something they know nothing about, it's just how it is. I've said it before, and i'll say it again, GT owners frown upon the v6 because it's the base model and there barely above a v6.

I was thinking about trying to sell my V6 now, since it's the summer and convertibles might be in high demand (or maybe I'm a wishful thinker). But I have a few knocks against my car. It's approaching 115,000 miles and I think my starter is going. But, I did install a brand new top this winter and I might include a brand new set of Cobra R rims if I sell it. If I do sell it, it's not really like I'm gonna need a new car right away, because I live in one of the 5 boroughs of New York and I'm going to school in Manhattan in September. The only thing is if I wanna go out, I won't have a car. I was thinking of getting a new or newer one when I was done with school in May. And if I'm gonna get a new one, I'm gonna go for a GT, not a V6 again. But the biggest thing is getting top dollar for my car, the body is in very good shape.

if your going to upgrade do it correctly and get something with 4 valves and 4 cams and potentially if you can afford it something thatwines like a spoiled 2 year old;)[8D]
