V6 Maro Vs Mustang

[KaotiKCamaro5]

since you didnt take the time to read the rest of the posts on the page.. he found out it was a 5.0 stang with 4.6 badging. I dont doubt the fact that he beat a 5.0, if he'd said he smoked a 4.6 i'd have been a little skeptical, especially with only having a high flow cat.. however, i only have a few mods on my 3.4 auto and have run a few 5.0 mustangs. I dont go out looking for races.. they seem to usualy come to me when they happen.. and im not ashamed to get smoked if need be (some of you guys pry remember the GTO story.. LOL).

*and as far as dogging v6's.. dont. alright.. not here, not now.. because hypsi87's buick is far from slow, and if you check out camarov6.com, there are a couple guys on that site that are in the 12s in v6 f-body cars (which would kill a 4.6 as they generally run mid to high 14s if my knowledge is correct).. it can be done, and it has been done. so.. suck up your ego, remember there are other people here too, and just let it be.. if he beat a 5.slow.. he beat a 5.slow.. im not gonna argue, because i believe he did.

Or two if it really was a 4.6 you were up against a driver had no clue what he was doing and had no business behind the wheel of anything short of a bigwheel.

V6's suck period. Doesn't matter if its a Camaro or mustang. There not even worth my time racing, so don't flatter yourself to much because you beat one. There plenty of mini van moms that do it all day long.

Well thanks for that insight, I guess I should just go out and buy an SS Camaro since they don't have a v6. Here's an idea for you, before your next post:
1- Read the post so you don't look like an moron in your reply (like I said I later found out it was a 5.0)
2- Some of us aren't 33yrs old and can have such a "nice" car as you, some of us are 17 and bought the car themselves and also have to pay insurance on the car (17yr old+camaro=$$$)
3- As for V6's sucking well thats your opion but I know a few V6 Camaros that would smoke you, I know V'6 suck, lets ask all the slow Twin Turbo Supra's, or maybe the 3000GT (VR4). I bet both of those stock would beat or at least run even with your car.

Well what more is there to say KaotiKCamaro5 pretty much sumed it up

[GTStang]

I could care less about this thread read it yesterday and thought what Im gonna say now but let it slide.

It sounds like you beat a 4-banger mustang. I seriously doubt a fox-body Mustang guy wit a 5.0 is gonna throw 4.6L emblems on his 5.0. And if he did have a 4.6 in it, the amount of money and knowledge it takes he would have had a beast cause shitheads don't build those combos.

Also I'm sorry but unless he sat there and spun all night you beating a 5.0 by 5-6 legthns to 80mph is just not believable. That is like beating a 5.0 by 1.5+ second in the 1/4. That sounds like an ass whooping you would give a 4-banger fox.


Oh and a Supra TT is not a V6

[89camaroperson]

are the rear end gears lower on a 3rd gen v6 rather than a 3rd gen 305 TBI auto? Theres a guy I know with a v6 camaro and we usually end up neck and neck or he slowly passes. I know I dont have a race car but come on. oh then there was the ford escape that I tried to get around......that wasnt cool....

good point

supra is a straight six correct?

'93-'97 (Supra Twin Turbo) 2JZ-GTE 3.0 (182.9), I-6, DOHC, 24v EFI, Twin Sequential Turbos w/Intercooler 320hp @ 5600 315 @ 4000 3.39 x 3.39 8.5:1

Base Model Supra: 3.0L I6 HP- 225 @ 5900 RPM Torque- 214 @ 3500 RPM

Turbo Supra- 3.0L I6 HP- 320 @ 5600 RPM Torque- 315 @ 4000 RPM

Last night I went to the high school drag races (since a lot of you don't belive me check http://www.pacificraceways.com/ 2005 Schedule) The best run this guy got was a 16.5 that was with open headers. His dial in time was 16.9 (later changed to 16.8 as it got colder). Now my Camaro should run 16.5 stock, I also have proxes 4 should usaly I get fairly good launches. Did he spin coming off the line....... maybe do I still count that as a win....... Yes.

Well you guy's opions are noted, you guys want to call the bs flag, that's fine. I know what happened, I was there. The car obviously didn't have a perfect motor (ie 500 miles on it) it might be more like my car. My maro has 197,000miles on it, does it run perfect......... no. Did they guy miss shift... no it was an auto. Is his car running perfect........ probably not (think how many of your guy's car aren't running perfect but you still drive them anyway). You might have missed my post about the tranny mounts, yes I am still driving my car even though I think the tranny mount might be broken.

The bottom line is Camaro-1 Mustang-1, he won a race then I won a race.

Not that I'm agreeing with that mustang guy, but if that LX mustang had a 302 5.0, it would have almost 300 hp stock. I might have read you wrong but I thought you said you had 160...I don't get it.....

Where are you getting those numbers at? The 5.0 in the certain LX's was the same 5.0 in the GT's rated at 225 horsepower.

Yes my Camaro does have 160hp. Some was/is wrong with the guys motor, a 5.0 should run quicker than 16 sec quatermiles.

true, if he is running high 16's then his 5.0 is not running good. the 350tpi 3rd gens ran 15.1 and were getting beat by 5.0 stangs. which would put them in the mid to high 14's. and it sure as hell wasn't a 4-banger stang cuz those things take like 20 seconds to do a quarter (seriously).

it is very much possible that he beat the stang, even if it was a 5.0... don't underestimate v6's (hypsi, need i say more?). but it isn't right to go and try to rag him by saying that he was against a 4-banger... i can beat the 4-banger mustangs (and camaros) on foot... those things were beyond slow...

[drvngstorm05]

oh btw tho, fox-body stangs did not rule over all 3rd gen f-bodys... '88 Turbo Trans Am's were known for running between 12.6-13.4, those ruled the streets.

(being an f-body man, i can't give stangs too much props lol)

I meant 225hp and 300 torque, got the numbers mixed up...stillfaster than 160hp....

[Savage Messiah]

Dyno numbers mean shit

[Rally Sport]

^I agree with that. It really all depends on weather, time and stuff. Hell I beat a GT stang with my MC just yesterday.

[drvngstorm05]

I beat a stang on foot the other day,then i realized it was parked... still felt good lol
