About a month ago I raced a 96-98 body style GT. I was right beside him until about 90 and he barely started pulling on me. All I had done to my car was an intake and exhaust.
then he wasnt racing you!

umm yeah ....an auto gt will rape u ...

now if ur talking about a 96-98 auto gt convertible......hmm....maybe????
Please.. Even those GT's will destoy that 6er. They weigh more and they are auto blah blah, but give the 96-98 some credit......98's have more hp than the 96,97 anyway.
beat a 99+v6 ....yes....

destroy a 99+v6.....naw....

Damn, you guys give our cars no credit.[>:] The 96-98 GT's are much faster than the 99+ V6.[sm=trust_me.gif] Unless the V6 has gears and many bolt-ons it just is not going to happen.

LOL naw man im not tryin to rag on 96-96's, i know theyre faster than 99+v6's, im just sayin theyre not that much faster. the reason being is that i raced my friends 97 gt auto convertible a while back and he only beat me by half a car length....if that...it was a close race. dont get me wrong, i mean its still a v8, of course its gonna beat a v6.

I have heard many reports that the 98s will only run like a 14.5+ with a hella driver and that is a 5spd coupe, so yeah I can MAYBE see a 99+ V6 with some mods and a great driver beat a crappy driving auto vert, but still it sounds fishy.

I have beaten several non-GT 8cyls, but i have quite a few mods..... have not had the pleasure of going up against a GT yet though..... Racing the regular 8's is pretty close, so I would have to agree with most here...... v6 ain't gonna get a GT of any year without a tremendous amount of mods.

I was running in the 14's last year, and have done quite a bit, I will keep ya posted, headed out to Cecil CO Dragway friday to see how much I have gained.


Any way ya cut it, I do nt think a v6 is gonna get a GT without all new internals AND a charger (and I ain't talkin one of those dame electrics either)[sm=badidea.gif][sm=forgetit.gif]

The fastest I have ever heard of a 6cyl doing......

A 1999 Mustang with auto tranny, 11 psi procharger, flowmaster exhaust, drag radials and 3.73:1 gears and posi, and 91 octane fuel ran 13.38 @ 105.4 at Kansas City International Speedway

Not many 6cyls have this setup....... By fall, i will have the same + internals, superchips tuner and race suspension.... hoping to drive it under into the high 12's, but we will have to wait and see
