403hp v6...I told you Skyler, Dan beat me to it!

I agree that shaving off 4-5 seconds off of a car is impressive. I would like to see this V6 Stang myself in person just to see all he's done. I give him props for bringing that car as far as he did.

But it all comes to the "run what your brung" theory.... if your goal is to be the fastest out there, it would make sence to get whatever parts you need to make that true. It's just common sence.... If you spend 10k on a V6 to get it in the 13's or if you spend 10K on a V8 to get it in the 11's or 10's.... bottom line, the V8 will win and the same amount of time and money has been spent.

No one is going to give you the same amount of praise if you started out with a pea shooter and turned it into a potato gun when someone else can make a rocketlauncher.

If one day I do get beat by a V6, I would be shocked to h*ll, but I wouldn't be pissed. I would also give that person the credit they deserve. I have ran a few cars that I barely beat and though it was going to be a piece of cake run.
