Give me a race that is neck and neck, driver to driver, one hundredth of a sec apart, now thats the fun ones, thats the reason i buy muscle cars.

+1. I dont go out there to beat the snot out of some ricer. I go out there to take on a jerk with as good or better of a car and try to beat him with skill

Also, 2009 V6 beats a restored 1965 V8. God bless fuel injection

Yes, but I'd rather own the '65.

Well for an update...
v6 with tune+intake and 20" rims beats...
2010+ VW sportishlooking (don't know the model), Infiniti GSX, Mitsu 3000GT, Honda civics (duh)..

2011 Camaro v8 (not the SS) smoked my *** by about 3-4 cars.
Newer model Acura TL was neck and neck until I hit my last gear. (He still had one to go.)

Ah welll I know nothing about them.
just know it was faster than mine, and it had a rear end very similar to the gt500's. (The black part where the exhaust comes out.)

Ok Mongoose... you really gotta cut that signature out!! How are ppl supposed to focus on the topic at hand when that comes up!! haha

I went the nitrous route with my 06GT... I was running a 125 shot, and it was fun for about 90 seconds. Then the nitrous is out and you have to spend another $40-50 filling up the bottle. That gets old REALLY fast. Not sure what you said your mods were, but look at the CAI/tune as your first mod, and then i'd start saving up for a downpayment on a GT or turbo/supercharger kit. You know your budget the best. Have fun with it!
