Today after school I was coming home on the interstate and my friend in his 'stang V-6 happened to merge on at the same time as me. I eventually I got up next to him, and we counted down. I turned off O/D and gunned it. About 2 seconds later I see him fly past me. We do this about 4-5 times, everytime he raped me ! Sounds truely pathetic huh? Well, not really. Here are the stats of both our cars:

My '95 Maxima SE Autotragic
- Popcharger intake
- HEAVY system
- Brother
- Backpacks

2000 Mustang V-6 5spd
- ECU "Superchip" Upgrade
- CAI
- Dual exhausts
- Brother
- Backpacks


Even though he has all that, I still feel ashamed. Get this; his brother came up to me later during bball tryouts and said "Hey why didnt you race us, my brother was waiting for you" And he was serious ! How embarrasing. Well, I am ****ed off at my Max, and impressed at that Mustang.

I need a 5spd ...

 

Dude those new v-6 mustangs are pretty fast.. Back in the day when I didnt have a charger and just had intake and exhaust, Some girls raced me and I barely I meen 1 car length beat them.. It was close.. and i have a 5-speed.

 

I'm truely sorry about the loss but that was pretty funny how those guys asked you what's up.

 

Those new stangs are fast. They tested the 2000 V-6 5spd stang 0-60 @ 7 seconds flat. Geez.


Jeff, I know right. At least he didn't think I raced him I may have SOME dignity left for the Max.

 

Your problem........

HEAVY system
Brother
Backpacks

 

You lost because you basically had no mods. I wouldn't call a popcharger intake a worthy mod. I had a popcharger before and there was no gain at all. You need a CAI and y-pipe. Then, I'm sure you could take him. With y-pipe, cai, and cat-back exhaust, I took out V6 Mustang with no problems. That's before I had the VB mod too.

 

Hmm... I disagree. I dropped 7/10 sec. after this mod. (15.5 to 14.8)

 

stupid ponys

i took a stock V6 late auto 90s Stang in my bone stock 98 gxe auto w/ passanger

 

I don't really think stangs are fast. Your problem is extra weight. Plus you have no effective mods. Get a y-pipe, and you will smoke him. I went to track yesterday, and the GT stangs were running mid 15. That is terrible. Remeber you have to do everything possible not to let domestics beat you on any road.

 

Trust me ... you do not need a 5 speed. a y-pipe and cat back WILL change your mind.

 

In a 5spd maybe but not in an auto since you can launch at higher than 2K rpm. It is proven a pop intake slows off the line performance in an auto especially with no other mods. You should have the intake/y-pipe combo to get the real benefit of an intake. You ran a 14.8 in a Max with only a pop style intake so I assume you are 5spd?

 

5spd 92 SE with LSD..

and Czar you had in your sig that you ran that stock?

 

NyCeMaXiMa: Nobody cares if you smoked a V-6 'stang foo.

Do you guys really think I will be able to feel the difference of a Y-pipe on the highway when the rest of my exhaust is stock ?

Also, don't 5spd Max's pull alot harder on the highway then automagic max's ? MmMmMm...5spd

 

I am going to start calling you Confused instead of Brett .

The Y is the biggest bang for the buck when it comes to HP's.

 

I represent that remark

 

My friend drives a 99 v-6 mustang and that thing is slow as hell. If i lost to her i think i would drive my car off a cliff or into a tree.

 

race 5.0's, the new ones are junk

 

i raced a brand new(no tag) V6 the other day in third gear and walked all over the girl.i have a 5 speed. the biggest bang for your buck is BUY a 5 speed!

I agree...V6 Mustangs are slow

 

 

if u woulda threw ur backpacks out the window, you woulda won.

 

or his brother....

 

Yes and Yes.

 

Do you actually believe that your intake cut .7 seconds off your 1/4 mile time? You don't think your driving skill, more experience, and perhaps track and weather conditions had anything to do with it? If an intake could really cut .7 seconds off of a 1/4 mile time, then that means when I get my intake I should be running 13.9s... with just intake and y pipe... lol

 

Those cars are so restricted that any mods they do greatly increaces there hp/torque. Thats chip alone adds 32 (I think thats what I read in Jegs) hp.

Next time just through some glass out and ruin his day. J/K

 

get a y-pipe.

 

So would you agree that the 2k2 Max Auto can beat that 2k V6 5spd then?

 

I just want to state that I traded my 00' Mustang GT in on my Maxima. My GT ran 14.0 @ 99mph with only a filter and no cats! I love the maxima, but it is not faster than my old GT, so I am not going to bash the stang along with you guys.

Black019, the newer cars are far superior to the older 5.0's. They have decreased cubic inches and increased hp. One other thing, the stock auto tranny, during hard driving, will chirp going into second gear during its hard shift. Thats one thing I bet all automatics owners wish their car would do!!

 

2000 SE, my automatic Prelude can chirp the tires when it shifts from 1st to 2nd...... I'm waiting for my new Maxima, damn dealers.

 

Ditto, i've been able to do this several times on the 2k2 Max as well.

However, it's getting harder to do it lately. I think the tires are starting to do it's job of actually providing traction

 

jeez, i did not know that ford went back to the 5.0L engine.

if you are talking the 5.0 from 1987-1993, it'll kick you ****.

 

Well i took a stock 96 v6 stang in my stock 96 Maxima (auto) and i won by a lot, i'm guessing ur prob is the weight and he has a chip, hey if u ever get beat by another domistic just think, well at 100k miles my car will work and his won't

 

Your speed emissions must be low.

 

 

Hey guys,
What difference will the CAI make over a regular cone filter? I mean does it give better time and better HP? I know the basis of it using colder air but just curious about how much of a difference it makes. Maybe eventually I will turn my cone into a CAI if it proves more effective.

One other thing though wouldnt the extended pipe used on a cai cause more distance for arir to flow and erxtra bends in it's way to get there?

SuDZ

 

WHAT? you lost to a v6 stang?

come on those are like 140 to the wheels.
weak american engineering.

i took v6 stangs while i was NA with modest bolt ons....

well. ur car is an auto. but still...

 

He is a 5spd Manual, With ECU upgrade, CAI,+ exhausts. And he has NO system and I have a HEAVY-@SS system. He would give tons of automagic people here a run for their money.

 

Some of this info I got purely from reading articles (so don't flame me)

CAI gives low end throttle response, and very little to no high end.

POP takes away a little bit of low-end, and gives up high

CAI Sounds more like a vacuum or sucking noise

POP Sounds more like a deep girgle.


I only payed $50 for my pop-charger. Uses K&N paper too. 180+ Is TOO expensive for an intake IMO.
