Matthockey32, I am suprised that he beat you off the line. I'm even more suprised that you passed him on the high end. I would imagine he was bone stock or couldn't drive worth a ****. 236.7 rwhp isn't something I would brag about, so you car doesn't have as much power as the 300zx. The driver makes a huge difference and this is the perfect example. good kill though, you must be a damn good driver.

Hey you have any film of this V-6 mustang? Any track slips? I would like to see some dyno sheets also. What combo are you using? Sounds like a mean little 6 banger. Put up some photos and stuff. Thanks in advance.

Are you talking to me stinger? I don't own a v6 mustang, my wife owns an 01 cobra. I own a 1991 300zx twin turbo, I have pics but not sure how to post them on here. As of the combo I'm using I assume you mean mods? I have an HKS intake, Greddy exhaust, JWT ecu, boost jets, light weight flywheel, racing clutch, gutted precats, ultimate axis brake pads. Oh, and yes it is a mean little six banger. Size truly does not matter because our 01 cobra can't touch the 300zx. I will post pics if I find out how to do it. I also thought the guy matthockey32 raced may have been a poser and had a non-turbo Z and thats why he lost. You know, the type who put twin turbo stickers on their non-turbo cars or convert the exterior to a twin turbo on a non-turbo 300zx. The same type that put gt badges on v6 mustangs or cobra badges on gt's.

If the Z was a twin turbo and had mods, there is no way on this earth you beat it. My Z has about 360hp at the wheels and right at 400+hp at the crank. A stock twin turbo Z has close to 265 -270 hp at the wheels. The Z's weak point is on the takeoff but late 2nd and all of 3rd is where the power is on those cars. I honestly dought a young kid could afford the insurance on a twin turbo Z. It was probably a non-turbo Z with turbo stickers and the spoiler. I will say you are a better driver than me if it truly was a TT and you smoked it. kudos

Good job i guess... on getting your v6 more hp than stock gt. BUT why? for all the money u have into it u probably could have a gt and more.. I just dont get it.

I love answering these questions...soo ill answer your question with two of my own which should take care of everything. Which would you be more embarrassed to lose to: a V6 mustang or a V8. Also how many V6 stangs out there can put up #s like matthockey is doin. Mad props to anyone who can take a slower car and make it faster than a V8, anyone can make a V8 fast.

Like I said, it probably took more money and he could have just got a gt. #1 a v8 sounds 1000 times better EVEN if his car is faster. #2 he is done, unless he puts a blower on his car he has reached his maximum potential. All a GT has to do is throw a full exhaust on the car and once again it has more HP's than the v6 with every possible bolt on etc.

"Which would you be more embarrassed to lose to: a V6 mustang or a V8."
Thats the worst thing i've ever heard. Thats some kind of excuse to why u have a v6, i'm not disrespecting the 6's if you get them for the looks thats fine, but i dont see why you would by a 6 to race it (and make it faster than a v8 to embarass people)
Stop touching yourself.

Since you enjoy asking questions I'll ask one of my own. If a chick (or anyone for that matter) comes up to you and asks is that a v8?? And u say no its a 6, whose now more embarrased, even if it can go faster than a stock 8.

Regardless I'm not disrespecting 6's, I just want to show you how dumb your responce was.
