Ever wonder what a v6 mustang could do?

mustangjoe- your video rocks

superhighoutput- this disscusion seems like it could be interesting, so i have created a tread and poll for it.....

that car's sweet.

My little blurb on displacement: there's no replacement for it, not boost, not revs, not anything. bigger displacement will give you more power and torque, anything you can do to a small displacement engine you can do to a large displacement engine and get better results. run 2 bar on a 3.8 litre, get X hp, run 2 bar on an 8 litre, get 2Xhp. yes larger displacement engines can't rev as high becaue their parts are heavier but they'll still produce more power and torque than a smaller displacement engine. Although i find it very impressive when people make smaller displacement engines as fast or faster with the same or greater reliability. smaller engines are also a little better nowadays because you can have a monster at the strip and still get some OK fuel economy.

It would've been, I've had the discussion many times, and the result is generally the same, both are good engine designs, just different ways of going about it. In case anyone was wondering my car is OHC, so I do like OHC engines especially in 4cyl applications, but I also don't feel that an OHC engine is inherently better than an OHV counterpart and vice versa.

[quote=flatlander757]I think horsepower ratings are just a big pissing contest. Torque is where it's at. [/Q

yeh, off the line , but after that it's horsepower that maters.

I'd say torque was more important back in the days of 3 and 4 speeds, but now with 5 and 6 speeds, higher rpm motors, hp is now king.

Would that be why it takes 1000+ hp for a Supra to run a 10 second ET?

ummm the supra should be making a lot of torque for only 3 litres, considering its an I6, those are notorious for torque.

you just dont get it. why do you always have to make stupid comments about Japanese cars? your comments about Japanese cars are getting annoying , and they are very ignorant.The 1000 horsepower Supra's can run 9's or better, seriously. the fastest street Supra in the world runs a 8.45@162 mph in the quater mile, with 1150 whp. Plus, Supra's can get 1000 hp on a stock bottom end.

Some people just can't take a joke.

you think he's joking, i mean you could be right , but if i were to see a post poking fun at a Japanese car from a guy who likes American cars, i wouldn't think he's joking, but i could be wrong. There are many posts of his like this one so i dont know i just think after a while the joke wouldn't be funny anymore just my opinion though, i really dont have that great a sense of humor is all.

Of course it's a joke, look at the shirt, the line loops for crying out loud. You've said some pretty ridiculous things about domestics (namely the Corvette) yourself so there is no reason for you to be jumping all over somebody for posting a funny shirt.

With all that text we can write a book....

Mustang with V6=cool, lol

Fastest supra with a stock OEM 6sp manual gearbox is 8.99@166mph and 1550kg! is very good.

[v604mustangjoe]

dude, i am pretty pro american cars, but still the supra is an amazing piece of engineering, so dont diss it, that'd be like a ricer dissing a corvette, cobra mustang, f-body or something fast like that.

I'm being an ass for ressurecting this but shit happens.. Just wanted to set some things straight there's an old joke that goes whats a 600hp supra an 800hp supra and a 1000hp supra have in common? they all run tens.. I don't care what you drive if you got to much power you'll have no traction! Which as far as I'm concerned can be alot of fun and sometimes dangerous.. Racing from a roll=the shit!... twin turbo v6 stang=beautiful thing!
