single ports aren't fast to begin with, I think they are like 17 second cars stock which if I'm right is around what a civic from the same year would run(ish). People just think because its a "mustang" its automatically fast. They make 150 crank hp I believe so if yours is an auto like 120-130 actual rwhp.
yea buddy its only a 6 too. u want fast its gonna take some serious stuff. like a v8 or an m90 supercharger. bolt on's like gears, tune, intake, exhaust may help a little but not much

Yeah I know that its only a 6 and its not suppose to be fast but its SLOW. It runs like a 4. I was just wondering why it might be slow. My dad and other people drove it and said there is definitely a problem with something.
Look up other 17 second cars, it is as slow as a 4 cylinder stock. Just to give you an idea, your car is a low 17 second car, 17.3 from what I just loooked up. Here are some common 4 cylinder cars that would beat your car just to give you an idea....
1994 Integra - 16.0
1998 Cavalier Z24 - 16.8
2001 Neon es - 16.9
1993 Civic ex coupe - 16.3
1995 Mazda Protege es - 16.6
I'm not doing this to be a dick just showing you thats how fast your car is, it could be running fine. I just looked up the times quickly on albeedigital so don't quote me on them.
Yea, I highly doubt your car has a problem. They are just flat out slow (especially the single port Round Bodies). My little Dodge Dakota has 120hp and could give my 01 a run for its money.

As said before the 94-98 single port v6 is SLOW. 5spd may get down the 1/4 mile in 16.5 to 17 record breaking seconds and the slushbox auto is more like 17.3 to 17.8...fast i know i use to own one and the best time i got in the 1/8th was a 10.88.
