Dan's car ran in the 13's prior to making 403rwhp. It has yet to take a few run's down the 1320. It should break into the very high 11's easy. And it's a daily driver.
And for you v8 guys who think that a 400 plus hp v6 is junk, don't get your feelings hurt when one beats you one day. My car has handed a few v8's my tail lights in its time. Once they find out its a built up v6, there either pissy about it or tell me their car just isnt running right. Shallow minds i suppose. Granted, there not common (300-400hp V6'S) and the v6 platform (3.8L) is not the greatest, but taking a 17 second car and shaving off 4-5seconds off an e.t., isn't impressive? C'mon, it's impressive for what the car is, a v6 MUSTANG. And spare me the stories of, well, you could go alot faster if you did the same to a v8. I hear that way to much, weather it be true or not. Building a v6 to run in the 13's, even 12's as a daily driver is by far more impressive, then a v8 that runs the same with a few bolt ons, those are a dime a dozen. We all drive a Mustang around here and fast is fast, weather it be a 4cyl svo, v6 or v8. Wake up and respect some of your little breathren, some of us take alot of time and effort to build our cars, we enjoy bustin knuckles on the weekend constantly adding to it's performance, it's a labor of love....speed and hp come in all engine sizes gentelmen, remember that.
And cyberstang5.0, your last post shows the bench racer in you. It's run what you brung. I somehow think your ego would pop if you were ever beaten by a v6 of that caliber. Even if the v6 lost by a car length, thats still impressive for a v6 mustang.
fiveohpatrol,
Yes, Dan's car is pretty ugly with that front facia and double stack spoiler and all the sponsor logo's, but by no means should that car be refrenced as a turd.
Hammer, i agree with you on the Grand Nationals, there one bad *** v6
Who was the guy back in the day that ran 9 and 10 second e.t.'s with his v6 GN? About 10 years ago i think it was.
