More power makes the car accelerate faster.

Headers, Hi-flow cat, cat-back, cold air intake, underdrive pulley's, Swap in an aluminum driveshaft if you currently have the steel one, a TransGo shift kit*, an adjustable FPR (fuel pressure regulator) with some larger injectors, the list is endless.

EDIT: * A TransGo shift kit if you have a 4 speed auto

hey, gotta remember tho..thats like high rpm hp..not low rpm torque, the initial kick requires more torque. :] so maybe you have a chance

increased throttle response will be very noticeable.

To be honest, I am not sure on the V6 cars.
I would think a header set-up, and a better intake manifold if they make them.
