buy a porsche or corvette or something :P

without having forced induction, i don't think there is any way you could get a v6 mustang to beat a gt (unless it is a much older gt)

Well, let's start with what you already have done...A list would help.

Also, you equated FI with SC/Turbo...What about Nitrous? (Yeah, I know it's FI but he didn't list it.)

You could get a tune and run a 75 or 100 shot of nitrous. Mid-13's are very do-able with that amount on the 4.0L. If you stay strictly naturally aspirated, then the quickest N/A 4.0L has run a 13.8xx. I personally ran a best of 14.312 with my N/A 4.0L/5spd coupe, which was enough to beat more than one GT (all years) at the track (especially in the 8th mile). Sure, S197 GT's run better times than a 14.3xx, but not every driver can.

Throw enough money at a 4.0L, and you can make it fast (with or without FI). There are plenty of bolt-ons, and also a few choices for heads/cams, although their performance benefit has yet to be defined.

Is it possible for a V6 with a CAI, bamachips 93 race tune, 4.10 gears, t-lok, corsa dual exhausts to beat a stock GT on the quarter mile??
