I am 16, and relatively new to mustangs, and I only got a 95 v6 automatic. (I wanted a 5-speed but mom cant drive stick) First of all, i know my car is slow due to these previous facts. I also know my car cant even dream of hanging with any of you guys with your 5.0s and 4.6s. I got a set of chrome cobra R's off of eBay, and it makes my car look pretty cool. My one performance mod is a flowmaster 50 series muffler. That certainly doesn’t make my car any faster. I dont want to spend any more money on this car because im saving to buy my dad's 01 Cobra in a few years. I just wondered if it was normal for a v6 automatic mustang to be slower than a '90 jeep, or a '95 neon, or a '95 Durango 5sp, or a '89 camrey 5sp?

My sister has a 95' auto stang and it is pretty slow my moms 98 GMC Jimmy would smoke it and my 00 GMC truck smokes it bad. The fact is you have a 17 sec. 1/4 mile car most likely and with that you wont win many races.

I have seen some fast V6 stangs. But to be honest with you if your mom drives the car too you probably are not going to be able to throw some nitrous or a super charger on it.

When I used to have my 96' V6 firebird I knew it was slow so I didnt waste any money on performance mods but my sound system was bad @ss. For now just stick to having a nice looking daily driver and go fast later.

Good luck
