What year is your V6? As far as a waist of money, you'll never get your money back from what you spend on mods. But that's not the point. It's a hobby and a passion to build a car and make it go fast when it wasn't intended to. It's all about being unique. Let me ask you this, is the V6 Mustang in this pic anything to laugh at? [sm=smiley24.gif]...Honda Boy would get smoked!
are fox model (87-93) V6's uncommon or very rare? or was a 3.8 dropped in place of a 2.3?

v6 power all the damn way. sometimes not all of us are able to purchase a gas guzzling v8 . but until we can a v6 can always be a hot commodity, theres alot you can do to get your v6 flying ,pulleys, intake, supercharger,gear swap, chips, msd ignition etc........ if it make you 6ers feel any better a v6 with a chip, intake(fenderwell) pulleys ,gear swap can possibly beat a 94 cobra(bone stock i mean bone stock 215 horses) and also the early fox body 5.0(bone stock which only put out 200 horse(bone stock 88-93 fox bodies) a little mustang trivia for those who dont know!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so hell yea put money into a v6 its better than putting it into lawn mower engine civic with ho cylinders i mean four cylinders

That thing is shweeet!!! He started with out the back tail pipes then cut off behind the rear axle. I like that. I might do it.
Why would you want to do that, I dont get it? [&o]
I've got a 92 GT stick vertible that is rated at 225 stock. I think they started rating them a few hp lower starting in 93 or 94 because they test with all the accessories turned on which drains a few HP.

Like many have said, it's a pride in ownership of a Mustang that makes us want to make the most of our ride and go as fast as we can while still looking good doing it!
the reason for the lower rating was because they tested stuff like dodge does with no accessories. then in 93 they switched to get an accurate idea of HP. the 99+ 3.8s actually should have been rated around 210 CHP
