Raced a V6 Mustang

Well, it wasn't much of a race. He was next to me at the light. When it turned green I took off fast as usual, but never thought about racing. All of a sudden I hear his engine next to me trying to overtake me. I didn't even have to redline and I had two car leads on him. I think it was a 94-96. Not sure though.

Next time don't waste the gas/strain on your Max.

OMG - it wasn't even the 99+ model. Accord 4-banger/5spd guys have been able to take those older V6 rustangs out bone stock

err, nice kill, but I seriously think you could have taken him in reverse

Congrats on the kill.

I will say this though, there are some fast V6's going. They have some serious S/C kits for it.

From your time (in your sig), you should be faster but i know dragging isnt that easy. You should be at least low 15's.

I smoked a 2001 V-6 mustang 5-Speed, governed at 115mph. No problem, not a problem at all. They are pretty quick though, 200 HP.

I know. It was my first time dragging. Next month I'm going to get a Stillen intake and go back to the track and will hopefully get into the low 15s

Re: Raced a V6 Mustang

Sometimes it's just nice to put people in their place and make them eat a little humble pie. Specially since it sounds like he started it.

Good job!

Yes, the new V-6 5spd stangs are quick. Read my old thread about it and you will see the light.
