Haha just kidding!!!

Now I see why you people call them "dogs". I pulled up to the light and a red Auto Mustang V6 with a young driver (just as myself) pulled up next to me. We both shot and had very decent launches, and I had 2 carlengths on him by 40MpH, at which point I switched into his lane. By the time I was at 80MpH he must have been 10+ carlengths behind me. All I could here was my intake screaming, none of the V-8 Rustang growl I'm used to. What an easy kill. I thought those things ran 8 flat 0-60MpH? Sure didn't seem like it though...

I raced a newer V6 mustang, I smoked that mustang like nobody's business. Those things are slow.

Good Kill!

are you an auto? I'm assuming you have a manual.

I know V6 stangs are pretty slow, but then again my stock auto Max isn't any speed demon either, but what do they run the 1/4 mile in comparison to a stock auto maxima? I drove my Grandma's V6 (2001) stang, and I thought my Maxima was faster just going on feel of the car but I just wanted to know if times are pretty similar. I noticed the stang redlined between 5000 and 5500 rpms and didn't have half as much tire squeal as my Maxima when flooring it from a stop.

that guy can't drive, look @ the maxima time with him, like 15.0 with the 6spd.

Nismo87SE

The 99+ V6 stangs are just about as fast as 4th gens are. THere have even been bone stock 14 second V6 cars.

That must have been the first time that guy drove those cars. No way in hell are they that slow.

1BADMAX

Where on there does it prove that the 99 and up V6's are as fast as 4th gen Maxima's. I saw one car that ran 14.9 after they had damn near removed everything out of the car. So no your wrong, a V6 Mustang is not as fast a Maxima. If they compare to any Maxima it would probably be the 3rd Gen. GXE w/160hp. But against a 190hp to the new 2k2 255hp forget about it. Race one and you'll find out i'm right.

The V8 mustangs run 14.4 stock 5 speed, my friend bought one and took it to the track all he ran was mid to high 14's the whole time.

Its not fair to compare a v6 mustang that came out in 99 to a 2k2 maxima. A stock 99 & up v6 mustang is a good race for a 4th gen maxima. Im not talking about a max with full mods, and the mustang with nothing, i mean both stock. An auto 4th gen probably will lose, while stick win. A 2k2 max is a good race for a gt stang 99 up.

The CRUSTang will own the Max in those models.

my buddy has a '01 Galant ES V6 AUTO & raced a buddy of ours in a V6 AUTO Stang, the Galant slowly pulled away - CANNOT believe my eyes...maybe the stang guy couldn't shift

BS, there's no way a 4th Gen Maxima is going to lose to a auto V6 Mustang. Losing to a manual is likely, but not the auto. I think most of you that say that a V6 Mustang could beat a Maxima have never drove one to begin with. I'm not saying that a Maxima would kill it, but I wouldn't expect the race to be very close. Just my 2 cents though.

I lost in my maxima to my friends 2k stang auto. At the time all I had was intake, and he had intake & dual exhaust + stereo and one passanger. I was alone in my car. My car at the time was 96 gle auto. My car would take him from 0-50 by about a car length, but after that he pulled away and kept pulling away. Maybe somethign was wrong with my car, but by 100mph he had like 4 cars on me. Once I converted to 5spd and got a ypipe, my friend wouldn't race me anymore.

ericdwong

You drive a family sedan, yet your GRANDMOTHER drives a mustang!?!

mattattax

stock manual '99+ GTs have run in the high 13s and autos have been in low to mid 14s

Craig Mack

Yea...your Matsima on stangnet right?

Anyways I've been to that site and posted several times.

99-2001 V6 5spd stangs do 0-60 in about 7, autos in about 8.

The new GT 5spd stang will do 0-60 in about 5.6, 1/4th in mid-high 13's - low 14's, autos 0-60 in low 6's, 1/4th in mid-high 14's.

My friend has a 2000 V6 Stang 5spd with headers, cai, downpipe, dual pipes, superchip, gears, Short shifter, ect. ...anyways, his car has lots of torque and could take out most stock maxima 5spds easily, and could hang with lightly modded 95 5spd maxima's all day long, especially the 2k's.

ReichMax97

Yeah that's right, I drive a family sedan, and my grandmother drives a V6 stang. She got it about 2 years ago after driving a Ford T-bird for as long as I can remember. She wanted something that was a little more stylish and quicker for her, she's not your typical old fart. I on the other hand, recieved my 97 SE from my dad who purchased it in March of 97. Ha, I can seat 5 people comfortably, unlike a mustang. What's there not to believe?

mattattax

yup that's me, I wanted to change my name here at the org but oh well---those guys are all pretty cool, I get a lot of good info. from that site--I think one guy ran a 14.2 in his '99 auto with just an intake--I've also seen stock manuals run 14.7 at the track so I think stang track times seem to vary with each car

Id wouldn't have to think twice about picking a Maxima over a V6 Mustang. The V8? Well thats another story

SteVTEC

the 99+ 190 HP Mustang V6's are certainly more respectable than the older and ridiculously pathetic 150 HP ones (150 HP from a 3.8L V6? WTF was Ford thinking? ), but if my Accord V6 could beat one from about 60 up to about 110 (came from about 2 cars back to a half car ahead) then what does that tell you...
