Do you really care what others think
or do you really way back inside your head,
undetectable to you, want a GT?

I haven't taken mine to the track. And depending on the driver, mods, etc. The closest reference I could come up with is as follows:

Stock GT: high 13's to low 14's

X-Charger V6: low 13's (some guys have hitten the 12's with an x-charger)

I was looking for a video that had x-charger vs gt and it was very close in the quarter but the GT wasn't stock.

**edit** Did some more ready and the 2010 GT with bigger gears can do it in 13.5. (Motor Trend)

I'm sure we could find out. I'm in Clear Lake.

Let me get some track time in first I have been to HRP, but tooooo many people there for me to be comfortable. I may try it on a Sunday sometime.

Pretty-much any blown v6 will blow away a near-stock GT in the 1/4. Not even close.

True, very True. A stock 95 Maxima would give a stock v6 Mustang one hell of a race.

Also true. Again, the 95 Maxima had a pretty good aftermarket community. There were SC's and custom turbo's. Those cars got fast.

VQ35 equipped Maximas (01+) can touch high 13's with bolt ons. V6 Accord with a 6 speed (03+) will touch low 14's stock. 350Z will do about the same, and the 370Z is low 13's.

Ford's stock V6's are a bit of a mystery.

I'm pretty horrible at launching mine as well. I haven't had it very long.

Yeah, I mean NO disrespect to v6 mustang owners (my first car was a 90hp 4cyl 1990 fox). But WTF is wrong with Ford? They make a very crappy v6. 210hp? Is that a joke? But at the same time, 300hp for our v8 isn't all that exceptional either.

I thought the exact same thing....only 210 HP...Ford could have done better with the 4.0's. Maybe 225 HP - 230 HP w/ dual exhaust would be nice. =-)

Compare to a Nissan Maxima's with 265 HP and they are a Sedan with 4 doors!
