The new V-6's make 190hp and weight in at 3066(NADA), that's enough power to get into the 15's With a average driver they are mid/high 15's. Maybe you pissed that a V-6 can take some V-8 stangs, I duno. So your Cobra isn't running 12.2's....ummmmmmmm.....maybe it's because your not good enough of a driver to get it there. I'm not saying I am either, but just because YOU can't get your car to run 13.2 doesn't mean some else can't.

| I'm not joining the which car is faster argument, I just have a few questions. THis is my first post here, I purchased a base model 2002 v-6 last month and am considering my options for adding performance. Can anyone offer some suggestions without going overboard quite yet (ie blower, etc). Cold Air Intake, dual exhaust, flowmasters, changing pulleys?? Pros/Cons? I'm sure theres tons of mods that I havent heard about yet. |

Off-road h-pipe, GT take off cat-back(throw on some flows or the like if you want it louder), pullies, throw in a K&N and yank the silencer(don't waste your money on Cold air induction), and throw in a set of 3.73 or 4.10 gears.

| More funny stuff........ I dont want to get into a mag racing contest. So I will leave this alone. But like I said If you are taking the time a magazine ran with a **** load of VHT sprayed on the track and a 5000 rpm launch and a professional driver power shifting every gear. And saying that it is possible in the real world. Then obviously our opinions differ and I will leave it at that. Considering my time would translate to a 13.3 @ sealevel. I dont think that my driving is in question. I have seen at least 100 different 99+V6 stangs run at the track how about you? The best I have seen Is a high 15..........The guy that ran that has a 99 cobra that runs 12.5's with a untouched engine. So I am pretty sure he can drive the wheels off of about anything. I dont care if a V6 stang can outrun some V8 stangs or not. Just as long as they cant outrun my GT  We will just have to agree to disagree. No flames just my opinion  Later,

| As far as gears for your 2002 I would do 3.73's. Some say to put 4.10's. Exhaust duals is good pullies. Cold air not worth it.

| Dark 5.0.....I'm almost at sea level so cars down here are gonna be faster. I raced a stock 2000 V-6 auto and it ran a 10.2.....that's a high 15. I have the time slip to prove it, if you don't believe me.

| I too have seen one run a high 15. It is the high 14 I am having trouble with. I really dont believe that you would lie, If you said you seen it then I believe it. Later,

| I have never seen it done I just read it in MM&FF. They ran a 14.93 @ 92 MPH. in a 99 5-speed v-6. I know they are pros but some ask what they can go. If you are good than this is what it can do. It has the ability to. Gives you guys a goal. I try not and magizane race but that is what it can run.

| My concept of reality gets warped up here @3000ft. The 15.96 I seen would have been a mid 15 @sealevel I guess.
