I'd be happier knowing I saved myself a lot of hassle.

it's so much better seeing the looks on V8 owners faces that get beat then going "yea, my LS1 has the pame ptriot heads and tsp cam that 7836478632954323698756345 other people have"

lightly modded, a 3.8 will beat a 94-98 gt...

and why pay the same insurance on a 6 when you could have an 8?

[Savage Messiah]

insurance for me would be double on an 8 than the 6, I checked.

That was the 25th anniversary T/A. It had the exact same engine as the GNX/Grand National. The difference was that the GNX/Grand national had a speed limiter in the programming (set to about 125mph I believe), in the T/A's programming the speed limiter was removed (set to 255mph).

Until someone with a V8 that spent a couple thousand less comes along and blows you away. There is NO replacement for Cubic Inch Displacement.
Anything you can do to a V6 can be done to a V8, usually for less money, and with better results (more power).

except for lightening...the V6 got the V8 on that one ;D

94-98 GT's are slow....I thought everyone agreed about that.

[philly rs]

ha, i had a fast v6.... and it took alot of damn money to do it. then i got greedy and wanted alot more power and built a ls1 for her. more money and it was all a damn wast. but the v6 i have now is really fast..lol

the 3.8 w/ manual tranny are quick, but w/ test driving many v6, i have found the autos w/out the traction control are just as quick.

a stock 2.73 geared vert will take a 94-98 GT they are pigs, my stock 02 v6 stang has taken them

a 3800 with the Y87 package (3.42 gears, posi, dual exhaust, Z28 drivetrain) should be able to run high 14s - low 15s, 3.4s dont really have much of an aftermarket, butr you can put FWD heads on them for more power
