go to mustangtuning.com. a cold air intake can be cheap, depends on where u get it and which one you get. you could find one on ebay for $40. might not be a very good one tho, but then again idk how much of a difference it makes where u get it.

jessep said what i already knew... the engines match up pretty closely. if you had a stick then you should have won because id be willing to bet he had an auto. did u ever think that maybe that GP had some mods?

Yeah possibly. You can do a lot to those 3.8L GM engines. Most of us on the GP forum have the 97-03 models though.

To blow out a similar engine with the FWD, heavier weight etc w/o mods would stump me without questioning driving skill.

You can put out an extra 100 horsepower on that motor with a few mods like with any engine. If you REALLY want to indulge, here is a thread wondering how much HP to get out of the GP on a budget restriction:

http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...ght=horsepower

Near bottom of page 2 are some simple mods (not bolt on supercharger kit) and the HP increase that it roughly does to the 3800.

Sorry, I am not trying to insult the driver or spark a trash talk war between two forums (please don't ), but skill is something to consider. I just don't race people since I don't know how to drive well at high speeds.

Grand Prix's only come in auto, so unless the GP had exstensive mods he was auto. Even if he had auto, I gurantee the guy had mods, because I love my GP but it couldn't kill a V6 'stang like that. Good luck with your mods though Plasmatic.

BTW, someone else said you said you have a 5spd but I couldn't find that post, so I'm just curious as to if its an auto or a manual so that i can have a definite answer.

He had a cold air intake from k&N thats it.I must say though his gp is fast cause on the highyway we were both doing 100 and when we floored it he blew by me pretty quick

I might be able to beat a V6 'stang, but I wouldn't be able to beat it badly, it would definitly be a close race.

If he beat you worse on the highway then I think he has mods he's not telling you about, because the top end is the GP's weakness. Who knows, maybe he just has a factory freak of a car...

we didn't race till we topped out on governor but at 100km's he pulled away fast compared to me .we stopped at 150

[neatofrito1618]

the v6 mustang only goes like 114 cuz the top speed is governed. wat u mean u stopped at 150? u talkin about 150 mph?

he was talking kph, and 150 kph translates to... about 93 mph i think
