Supercharger or turbo will get you there. Nitrous will for a brief instant. Bolt-ons wont.
It'll run you 4-7k installed, depending on what you get. If you install things yourself, you can get decent supercharger and turbo kits and put them on and save some money.
FWIW, having 300hp in the v6's is a BLAST!

Yea, but what do they weigh and who makes them....
And be ready for the need for a beefier rear end (8.8 w/T-Loc).
Ought to just get into a GT now that the market is in a slump.

I think there is no reason to get a v6 in the current market, if you can't afford a GT you have to be kidding me.
It's the worst oppertunity to waste in getting a GT at the moment if you're shopping for a mustang. I only wish I had waited for this market before I got my second mustang. I could have had two perfect used GT's for the price of one new v6 pony package convertible.

Yeah 157db, you're correct. Just puttin' it out there that
the V6 Camaro is 300HP stock. GM may not be around
long enough to launch it, considering their financial problems.
Just can't understand why Ford isn't offering the Ecoboost
in the 2010 rebody. They will, if the Camaro takes off hot!
We can do much better than the 4.0. It's been around
forever, in various forms. WE NEED A NEW 6 MOTOR, FORD!!
