Yeah J your friends car is a factory turd or something. All I have is exhaust and intake on an auto V6 vert(2000). I destroy my friends 98 V6 all the time.

 

98 V6 manuals are rated at 0-60 in 9.5-10s and the autos are 10s+ so beating him shouldn't be all that hard, now race me and you'll have your hands full as my car is on your level of performance, and if I don't get the Cobra then I'm putting on gears in a few weeks, so I'm really interested in seeing exactly how much faster they'll make me. But 9s is about right because his car is in excellent condition with a K&N filter and GT cutoffs and has a hair bit less millage then me now, it's just that Ford autos really, really, really suck. I mean think about how long it takes that damn torque converter just to transfer hp from the engine to the rear wheels when you stomp on the gas, you usually loose about 1 second or so and that's where the variation comes in, now I've never tried this, but if you could do a run and somehow account for this time delay, then your times would come out roughly the same as our manual counterparts if you're stock.

 

those are magazine times of course. as are the 99+ v6 mustang times. everyone knows the cars are more capable of faster times. so even if that focus runs a 16.1, the v6 mustang can obviously run faster than it's advertised times too. i know you have some infatuation with trying to prove me wrong some how in every post. you read too much into crap though.
