Ya, a NEW v6 might be able to take a 5 liter auto convert. with 2.73 gears. The first gen 4.6l (96-98) have less power than the second (99+) which is why you can stay with them, but hanging with a car and beating it is a lot different. A stock manual hardtop 5 liter (87-93) runs low-mid 14s in the 1/4 mile, a new gt does it in just about 14 flat.
You seem to be a fine person, but your right, that a lot of the v6 guys think that they can take anything but a new gt, they especially think that the 5.0 is a slug.
