![]() My friend has a stock 2001 V6 coupe with a 5spd and thinks he will smoke me if he drives his car right. I have a 91GT Conv. with an AOD. My mods include, 2 chamber flows, off-road h-pipe, BBK shorties, underdrive pulleys, CIA, 14*initial timing, etc, etc., all on top of a transgo shift kit with a set of 3.73's. My best ET was a 14.26@96.8, but I recently for some reason could not get my car below a 14.52 when I went to the track 2 weeks ago. It needs a tune up.
Who would win? I'm pretty sure I know who would, but just for kicks, what do you guys think? Is my friend nuts?

![]() you're friend is his own worst enemy! The kid probably "feels" like he's going pretty fast, or won a race against a mustang when the other driver didn't think he was racing! I say race for the pinkslip and when you win give the car to your grandmother!!

![]() You're going to smoke him, chances are with an optimal run, he may be able to get a 15 flat in the 1/4 mile, but if you race on the street or even at the track you'll probably flog him. Good luck, go for it and then laugh at him.

![]() His car has a 15.6 in it at best. You spank him easy plus you have the edge with the auto. You know you wont miss a gear.

![]() Well, I raced him 2 days ago, on a very long wide street in my home town, which is said to be about 1/4 mile long. You guys were right all the way. I started with a bad launch, and he pulled ahead just a tad because of his 5spd, but once I shifted from 1 to D, my tires chirped and a flew right by him. I ended up beating him by about 7-8 car lengths. He claims he "missed" 3rd, but my other friend who was with him in the car said he drove fine. I also had 2 other people in my heavy convertable with me

![]() Nice to hear you spanked his @ss.......The best mod you can do is sticky tires. After you do that all he will see is tail lights.
Congrats,

![]() All I read was the first post, and not the replys. I have raced a few V-6's in the last couple(NO Spray of course) and they were all pretty close. With ALL things working perfect, I can see 1 in the HIGH 15 range.At the track, the times are from 17.0 down to 16.0,.16.5 being the norm.

![]() Some of those v-6 stangs are pretty impressive with a small shot of n20 and gears. There is a guy running around here with a stock v6 with just a powerdyne blwer and runs low 12's not too shaby at all.

![]() glad to hear you gave him what was coming to him!
That's a pretty impressive 1/4 mile time for a convert.
