Hehe, I am sure I can think of a car that you can beat. I bet I have owned car you can beat.

What about an Accord. I have a 98 with the V6. Is it fast?

Just a couple things. The mustang 99-02 v6 have 190hp And run 15.5 stock in the 1/4. Unmodded GT in automatics are slow and heavy. Not much faster then 99-02 v6. If the best you can do is 15.3 in the 1/4. You better hope you do not run aginst any modded v6 mustangs/camaros.

Are you sure that stock 99-02 mustang v6's run a 15.5??? I have beaten a few of them at the drag strip (not street actually 1/4 mile drag strip). My car only runs a 16-16.5 at best. I didn't win by a lot; probaly only a couple tenths. I was thinking that maybe it was the driver, but one time they switched drivers and I beat the dude again. Maybe they both sucked at driving a stick. Who knows.

To the dude with the 92 lx, don't worry man. Just stick to it, work hard and keep cool and you'll get what you want eventually.

I have big plans, and as soon as the tiem comes, it's going to be worth it. High 15's sucks big time, but mid to low 13's is really good to me, with Spoon replica rims and a Type R shift knob... *cough* hint hint.

The average V6 Mustang owner is not going to run a mid-15 without mods, That 15.3 is with intake and exhaust. I'm about to swap in a larger motor with a T3/T4 turbo, I think that'll be enough to hand your Cobra it's ass on a platter.

I think so too.

Yes, an average driver with normal skills can drive the v6 in the 15s. But, remeber that is the 99 and newer v6. Um...Okay? Your going to swap in a larger motor and a turbo and beat me eh?. I should hope so. Thats as long as I dont add aditional mods. If it takes all that to beat a cobra, then why did you not just buy a fast car to start with?

[S2Corolla]

I dunno, coz maybe he wants a CRX with a different motor and turbo? lol. That's the only reason I can think of. Or maybe because the total cost of this entire project, including the cost of the car will only leave his pocket's blank of about close to $7,500.00? Tell me, how many domestics can you get for $7,500.00 run mid 11's daily driven, that have no problems.

You can pick up a 3rd gen Camaro or Firebird somewhere, strap on an exhaust, fuel system upgrade, gears, clutch, stick tires, and a supercharger and probably squeak the whole thing in for under 8g's. But then again, I HATE 3rd gens, lol. But I'm just saying, it's possible...

I would almost agree...except that 3rd gens are HARDLY fast...high 15s, low 16s...Not fast at all...So you still get to experience the joy!!

not really, i mean you go to a drag strip and see a mustang cobra run mid 12's and you say "oh look there another cobra in the 12's" and you see a civic run mid 12's and you say"shit look at that civic run 12's!"
