RE: sigh damn v6

Not a stupid thread. Since you already have your car, then you should consider modifying it for improved performance. With a tune, intake, driveshaft, gears, t-lock and drag radials, my 4.0L V6 has run a best so far of 14.5xx (with a temp in themid-80's). I've seen 2V GT's and S197 GT's run slower than that at the track (granted, they needed a SERIOUS driver mod). A lightly modified 4.0L V6 can skoot (and then there's the option for force induction!).
Regardless of engine, the S197 platform is a great starting point to build your daily driver into a fun track car (written that way cuz I don't promote street racing). Most suspension mods for the GT will work on our V6, and the aftermarket is responding well. This whole V6 versus GT debate is a waste. At the track, nearly everyone is cool because they are all racing enthusiasts. At a car forum,all of the members SHOULD be cool to each other cuz we share a common bond - our love for Mustangs.

so i have been throwing the idea around about laying off the exterior and leaning toward the guts (engine)
i used to race with my trans am before i destroyed it and i want to get the mustang race worthy
but my question is .. is it worth all teh customizing since its only a v6
that may be a completely retarded question but how would i fair up against a v8 with slight modifications
sorry new to v6

any comments are appriciated
thanks

you can make the 4.0 fast tho, just beware if u get the 4.0 get ready for alot of **** from some of the v8 guys. many of them are cool as hell and very helpfull but then you get quite a few bad apples.
