Youd have to dump SO much cash into one to beat my GT. I remember an article a while back with a 2000 v6 stang, with all the bolt on's and a Blower. It ran a 13.97. Wow. that is pretty quick. And I know so many people in my area with blown V6's too. They're really common around here.

You gotta look at it this way. It's actually cheaper to add a supercharger to a V6 than do a 5.0 or 4.6 swap. With a few other mods, they could easily catch you.

Also, keep in mind that just because your car is CAPABLE of running low 13's, does NOT mean you actually have the experience, talent or skill to do so yourself. My 929 is capable of low 10's. That doesn't mean I'll ever run them with my fat as on it.
