and i do agree you don't buy the smaller displacement v6 to go fast, more for practicality. and that one needs to know there place. which is why I don't go prancing around saying my car is the fastest thing out there - but it isn't the slowest, that's for sure! Ford's come a long way with the v6 engines, and as much as many would not like to admit it, I think that's where the majority of newer technology will be pumped into the way oil prices are going. Hell, Japan's got smaller displacement engines tweaked for longevity and reliability! At some point America will start demanding the same - if a lot aren't already starting to do so. Don't get me wrong, no matter what, I will want to own at least ONE crazyass GT in my lifetime.
again though, like you said, just because it's a v6 doesn't make it any less of a mustang. sounds fair enough to me
and it wasnt i caught him in no time i was about to go around a car and take him but i missed a shift
he would not have taken me
I hate rice too, but you sound like your making excuses. You missed a shift regardless of when the Scion took-off, soooooo you probably would have lost anyway. Keep those loses to yourself(don't post them). I lost in my 06 GT to clearly inferior cars when I bounced off the rev limiter, but no way I was going post details.

no it was weird usualy i can recover but the tranny just wouldnt go 3rd 4th or 5th i even double clutched, then finaly when he was 100ft away after my car had not been under power for 30-45 seconds it wasnt worth the gas to catch up theres always a second chance i so thought i screwed up my car but it working now so its all good but i need to get a tune up that could be another problem

I raced a scion TC on foot and beat it, and I was wearing sandals!!!
LOL.. Now I swear, the next one o' you primates, even TOUCHES me.. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Sorry, had to do it, was watching that this afternoon while waiting for a briefing.. lol So you smoked' em on foot like the scene from Kung Fu Hustle eh? :-p
Meh... we got a 99v6auto and I am amazed how good it pulls, even after 82k miles. Not from a roll, oh no... But I beat a smug kid in a charger v6 about a month ago. I wouldn't call them slow, and surely a match for the TC unless you do it from a roll. Which is for pussies anyway.

NO its OK, really. I beat a v6 New Edge in my 07 Focus ZX4, teh sedan
FYI, i dont think its a good idea to rev on someone to ask them if they want to race you. And if they happen to take of without revving back just let it go and catch'em at the next light.
Sounds like you were just tryin to be Billy Badass, choked, and got smoked.

What could you possibly need a tune for??? I will assure you that is not part of your problem.
