v6 vs import 2 liter

i didnt get a mustang cause i couldnt afford the insurnace on it. Im 20 and have a drinking and driving charge. Also at the time i was car shopping, v6 mustangs in the 2000+ model were about 12,000-13,000. I like mustangs, they are great american muscle cars without a doubt. The new ones make me cream my jeans everytime i see one. I didnt think the v6 mustangs were that fast stock, i nevr had a problem with one. Also my car is an AUTOMATIC. If i had a stick id be mid to low 14's. I just added a B&M shiftplus kit that should shave .1-.3 tenths of a second off my 1320, it was 40 bucks.
Thats cool, the reason we sometimes get jumpy on you (I have before with the "A mustang is not a performance car" comment) only because it seems you are always talking as if you were anti-mustang. Aka talking of times when you beat a stock mustang, and seems you are always comparing to mustangs.
Luckily my insurance is not bad because I have no tickets on my record, I have been on supervision twice (at the same time ~ my grandpa is a criminal attorney who kinda makes the judge tend to side with me when he is present). I currently pay $185 a month. Still pretty high, but im 17 and can afford it because luckilyy my parents still pay for food and the home, ect...
You have a nice cav thats no doubt... If that car pulled up next to me, id probally have a chuckle, untill I heard the s/c and watched it pull on me. Thats a good sleeper.
I also had a similar car, but not anywhere near as cool as yours. My first car was a Pontiac Sunfire 4 door auto. That thing would lose racing a granny in a walker. It was my first car, so w/e. So dont think I hate on your car, because ever since owning that sunfire, I have respect for basicly any car pushing over 110hp lol.

My first car was a 82 Mustang with a massive 2.3L engine with a tire shreading 88hp.:lol2:

I went from a silver 02 civic to a silver 02 GT mustang. Night and day.

i went from a 16.1 to a 14.7, that was a pretty shocking the power increase.

heh none of those cars can possibly be slower than my 90 escort LX.

Another popular option on the 3.8 is stroking it over to 4.2. Alot of guys have done this instead of a turbo, and many have done both. Really it is all up to you and the money you want to spend on it. In the end, any motor can make a lot of hp you just have to decide where to draw the line.

It's not hard to make power with the 3.8L

Hey Silverstangs, the Justin @ VMP is the one I was talking about with the twin turbo setup and 400 horses on the stock bottom end.. And in reply to Neatofrito, I do not know how much a 4.2l conversion is, but I think that it, with a few bolt-ons puts you at about 215 rwhp as opposed to 165-170 rwhp. I think you can by the 4.2 with rotating assembly and pistons and block for like $3000 if I'm not mistaken, but it would definitely be much cheaper to do yourself. Rpm-mustang.com has a lot of motor options, and you can send your intake in for a port&polish with him if you like.

Why don't we just all buy this....

Exactly, you can show any modified car's dyno and say it is fast.

Would be funny to see a v6 mustang smoke a vette. I would love to see the face of the poor guy with the vette.

there are a few cavaliers on jbody.org running in the 11's. . .beating something like a vette in that, man that would be funny.

id have to agree with that... lol

HA HA MINES A 5.0! lol. I want an svo 2 beat the piss out of. no not a collector's item. its called "economy car"!

I don't know how much you know about cars..but theres more than just the engine. Okay, so you make 400hp. Cool. Now is your rearend/tranny/axles/suspension going to be able to hold up after you push the throttle to the floor a couple times? And yeah..like boosted331 said. If it was that easy to do..then why would I have spent $17,000 on a GT mustang when I could get a V6 for $8,000 and that turbo for $5,000 and make 400hp?

Because, like i say, Mustangs were made for V8's. anything less is rare and belongs in a museum! Nothin better than an american gas gussler! :lol2:

An "economy" car that's faster than your car, you inbred :rolleyes:

tturn paw ~ off subject, but is "LS what" your liscense plate? I saw it on a car one day, and it is definitly going to be my plate when I work up my car (or get a cobra whichever comes first.)

"LS WHAT" Was on a plate in a MM&FF mag. And I guess you're agreeing with me tturnpaw?....

"LS WHAT" Was on a plate in a MM&FF mag..
I actually saw it on a cobra, and since I saw it I wanted it for myself. Im pretty sure I saw it outta state, so it might be open at home :)

Really? Kick ass.
