I don't speak metric...but a stock V6 stang(auto) will generally run 1/4 mile times between 16 and 17 seconds.

I raced a Neon today, actually twice. Losing once wasnt enough for him I guess. I beat him by half a car length the first time, and a little more the second time. The little guy just wouldnt accept the fact that his Neon was slower than my Mustang.

So your car should be getting better times than Neons.

Mufflers rot?

I have the stock exhaust on my car and its perfectly fine. I dont think it would be that big of a factor.

Default RE: running times

Well I've got something for you. Now for the first time, it wasn't a ricer trying to get me to go. Two times last week I got challenged, and both times I turned it down. Why you might ask, well because the first time it was by a Ford GT 40 on my way to work, first one I've ever seen on the road, and he wanted me to run him, pfffft, he must of been smoking somthing, then the second time was by a early 90s Corvette, yet again, not only no, but hell no, I mean come on, it's not like I'm running with a V8 here, but I guess the rims and the exhaust can really throw people off. Just thought I'd share that with you guys.[8D] Oh, my 0-60 times are currently around 8.5s, the 1/4 is around the low to mid 16s, never ran it enough to get a good time, but I average the 1/4 in at around 82 mph.



All times are GMT -5. The time now is 04:43 PM.
