i have a 2000 silver v6, and i want to customize the hell out of it. i am 19 years old, and my father, who is very into his 2002 corvette zo6 which is cranking out damn near close to 500 rpm tells me that its not worth it to do the kind of stuff im interested in to a v6, that i should just save my pennies and get a gt or a cobra. i want to put a stalker body kit on, and basically every mod short of turbo and nos for now. i can only do so much with $12 an hour as an appliance salesman. any input would be greatly appreciated,

 

A vette cranking out 500 RPM? LOL

YOu hould save the cash and get 8 cylinders. And honestly, if you're not going to get into real power adders (a body kit is far from it), I'm gonna have to call ricer on this one.

$12 an hour? That'd be nice. The most I've ever made was $7 an hour.

 

500 rwhp i think he means :P, if your going to spend the money on a bodykit, DONT get the bodykit and juice the car :P

 

yea, dont waste your money on ricer mods. if a V8 is on your mind, you've been bitten by the power bug. no matter what you do to that V6, you'll still want that V8.

 

LOL. Seems like you guys have no clue what you are on about. A V6 is very well worth it to soup up. First off, the insurance costs a LOT less than a V8 would. Especially if your younger than 25. I got my 6 banger pony used from a person that took really good care of it. (Mobil 1 every 3k). I continue to do that as well. 190HP stock is pretty slow, I must admit, but not once you soup it up!!!. I've been very happy with my stang since day 1. </P>


Now im not saying adding a supercharger would be most beneficial, but as far as a Cold air induction, free flow exhaust, shorty headers and some other good upgrades really make a big difference in power. I'm not exactly sure how much power I have gained from stock but you can definitly feelthe differenceonce you floor the accelerator on the highway. I love that WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH sound from that sweet cold intake charge.</P>


Now i am focusing on body kits and maybe interior upgrades.</P>


Just my $0.02</P>

A V6 will never have the potential that a V8 has. Ever.

Granted, the things you're listing do imporve power, they do on any motor. But, they will help much more on the V8's. Theress more power for the same price to be had there.

If you've got a mustang and are looking to go fast, why the hell don't you have a V8? My Saturn's more than a match for most V6 mustangs!

 

if you're gonna be one spell it like they do. "supe"

 

ps, its not worth it to "soup up", it's <U>necessary</U> to.

Not spending the extra couple hundred dollars a year for a V8. </P><edited><editID>6bangerstang</editID><editDate>37860.6914236111</editDate></edited>

 

Then yo'ure aren't looking to go fast! A FAST V6, despite what your personaly brand preferance is, would be the GM 3.8L V6.

Go look at Turbo Regals, Turbo Trans Ams, GTP's (gasp, a FWD! that can be in 11's for change!), ect.. Notice they all come boosted from the factory with lower c/r ratios.

Those are fast. Can be modified extremely cheaply/fast. And they will rip the ***** off of your V6, which my Saturn can probably take out.
