What do the V6's run? I have an 02 V6 and never clocked it. Can someone tell me?

The 99-up split ports with a 5-speed run a best of low 15's on the 1/4 mile. Now if you have an automatic I would say high 15's low 16's.

The 94's and 95's are the worst of the V6's. The autos run low 17's and the manuals run about mid 16's. Before I got my 99 GT 5-speed, I had an 1994 auto V6. I had about 20hp worth of mods and raced an unmodded 01 5-speed V6 and absolutely got killed. I never raced an 99+ V6 Auto so I can't tell you how I would have faired. Just remember the difference between a pre 99 and a 99+ is night and day. Unless the pre99 owner has serious mods, he is going to be seeing some taillights

them 3.8 V6 engines put out 140-150 at the flywheel depending on year. Mr Tweak yours is 150 stock. to the wheels? maybe 120. a 98 GT puts 181 to the wheels. compared to a camaro you ask? LT-1's put about 235 to the wheels, and the LS-1's dyno about 290.

the v6 has potential though.... ive got 330 hp and 345 tq on a 98 3.8 v6. i have my mods listed in my sig., and i run 12.7- 12.8 on a good day. it tops out around 144 mph. but, if i sank that money into a cobra, id probably have about 500 hp.....
