i have a friend who has the 3000gt (also 94) and it has est. 300 hp. the only way for him to have that amount of power outta that lilv6 is with the twin turbos. if that was the case it wouldkill you. but if it doesn't have turbos then it aint stock compared to your stock 302.

just going by the info provided i'd say no.

I think that ur friend is an idiot. He probably got on google, looked up the specs for his 3000GT but instead of paying attention, he just clicked the first link that he saw and it was the specs for the twin turbo. Beat him then say, "dude, how did my 215 hp car beat ur 300 hp car?" lol waist his ***. BTW, why do you have euro tail lights and underglow...its a mustang

My friend had one. If it's an SL you'll kill him. If it's a VR4 then you better get a 100 shot

just sayin, the neons are a little against the grain on mustangs. I had them on a different car i owned and no one would ever shut their mouths about it. If it floats ur boat thats totally fine with me, its not my car, do what u want

The n/a 3000GTs came with 222hp. Ive owned a VR4, i dynoed 248 at the wheels with an intake and exhaust. N/A dyno around 170 at the wheels (DOHC), they made a single cam 3000GT but not in 94 so im not even going to talk about it. Also, base models are slightly lighter than the SL (both naturally aspirated). A naturally aspirated base model with a healthy engine (aka low miles or fresh rebuild), lightened flywheel, aftermarket clutch, no cats, intake, exhaust, solid motor mounts will walk your average 5.0. If he is stock you will win no questions asked, and yeah, call BS on him saying he has 300 hp, unless its a vr4, then he is wrong, 91-93 had 300hp, from 94-99 they had 320 and also got a 6 speed instead of a 5 speed. Making 300 horsepower out of an import isnt the easiest thing in the world, its full of headaches and time but it can be done, a 4g63 is a very easy engine to get power from, asare the 2jz and rb26- the 6g72s arent the best for modding but it can be done. If he has twin turboed the n/a engine, your going to be up against what is about as fast as a new M3... at 6psi. (10:1 compression). Ha, yeah i was hard into japanese muscle im my ealier days, im just beginning to realize the potentential of larger displacement engines.
