Probably because it's respected more in the V6 forum.[8D]

maybe if you didn't think that way, it would be respected just the same. lots of you would rather cry that all the v8 guys pick on you than try and make friends with them.

yea...its good to see a 6er beatin the 3800...if it was that 2.5 v6....i would be scared for your car....ive raced a 2.5 camaro and 3.8 98 bird and beat both....except the 2.5 was easier to beat...i beat the bird by a car length if i got the start good....plus were good buddies...so we went to track and his best time was about .3 off by mine...each time we went...he would always get the start but i would pull out at the end and beat him... he has a cat so i guess the backpressure gave him more torque...his 60 fts were a bit better than mine as well....sorry i stole ur post...good kill....show those GMs how we roll...lol..

they didnt put a 2.5 in F-bodies, those are old engines from the 3rd gen, f-bodies had 3.4s and 3.8s, im really surprised you beat him, especially with 18" rims

I beat the crap out of V6 Camaros all the time.... I keep getting lucky by running into bad drivers! I've beat a few cars that, according to numbers, are impossible.

Sometimes the car feels faster than 200 hp, if that's what I'm making with CAI and K&N filter... I know it's close to that. I haven't beat a new Stang V6 yet, but they don't beat me by a large margin, especially if it's an auto. It baffles me sometimes how much of a difference it makes when a powerful car has a bad driver...

Cars I shouldn't have beat (based only on numbers)

95 Mustang GT Auto (My favorite kill ever)
2000 Civic Si
3 V6 Camaros
V6 Charger
Ford Probe GT (Supposed to be a little faster than mine in the 1/4)
91 Mazda Miata vert

Oh well, a win's a win I guess...

Do you have an auto or a manual, kinda a stupid question, but I'm guessing you have a manual.
