The 05 V6 autos are clocked at 15.3 in the zines. They pretty easily get into the 14's with an intake/tune... maybe exhaust. There are several guys running in the 13's here on the boards with one at 13.1. PHP has a new turbocharger coming out... their highly modded ride has broken into the 11's. Not too shabby for a little 4.0L, eh?

I've only raced one other Mustang (street racing is bad... be safe!)... it was a 95-98 GT and it wasn't even close. He caught up and I waved. He waved back with a big smile.

I've been very happy with my six banger!

how do you figure if it was a gt hed of taken me?? i run just as fast as them, and drive better than most owners of that gen i see around. i dont know maybe it was modded, or maybe he had a big run at me (never noticed)
You said you run low 14s. A stock 05-06 GT runs mid to high 13s. That is faster than you. The new V6 with an auto is good for 15.3 and the manual is good for 14.9.

ive yet to witness them run anywhere near a mid 13, best is a quite high 13, with 90% of them going 14.0-14.2

people claim they can run it, and im sure a really good driver will. same as people say foxes are high 14s, when i have seen my father run 13.97 out of his stock fox and a 14.20 out of my mothers.

as far as my mods.. ive got king cobra clutch, blue thunder shifter, k&n filter, no smog or air silencer, 3:73s, ceramic shorties, 2.5 o/r h pipe, flows, electric fan, etc.

13.97 out of a stock fox? Your dad must be a hell of a driver! I have a buddy who cant break 13s with his gt that hasx gt40 intake, CAI, flows, and o/r H pipe. He spins alot, his best ET was 14.01, he was pissed lol!

Theres a guy on here (Quick is his user name) he had proof of running in the 13s with a k&n filter and 3:55 gears with a 89(i think) LX notchback, needless to say he got a lot of haters, but I truely believe its all in the driving

i believe he said it was an 05/06, and if it was i gotta tell ya they arent all that slow. my gf has a 05 auto v6 and i can punch it at a stop and it will smoke the tire all the way down the street!! i couldnt believe it. so IMO it could be possible.
fixed


ORIGINAL: tightdogal

the 05 v6s are on par performance wise wit a fox body 5.0. well, stock that is. a 05 v6 is capable of running high 14's. the 95 u raced was a turd, they run like 19's in the quarter or something like that... you probably ran against a modded one.
wow, a stock 5.0, there are probably 4 of those left

the new autos are just aboot as fast as the manuals, so that is not a big difference, they are alot better then the 4R70W auto though,

the 4.0 responds good to mods, but they cant hold boost for sh*t

I witnessed a 05 v6 run 14.79. From a roll your fox isnt really going to pull away much, just not that much of a power difference at those speeds. Hell you probably have around the same power lol he just has a lot more weight.


Edit: the v6 was completely stock.

Which is why MM&FF managed to get one to run a 13.4xx when they first came out, right? The 2V Edge GTs ran low 14s, if thats what you are thinking of. The V6s aren't as slow as they used to be. Deal with it.[8D]
