RE: Rant on slow sixxer
I think its just the acceleration that makes it feel so slow, plus that and they are pretty stable at higher speeds. I know that when I'm doing 70 it doesn't even feel like I'm going that fast. But in a p.o.s car you feel like you're going 100.
Gears and a new differential will help you accelerate faster (no hp gain though).

I'll give it stable at high speeds. I've hit 106 before, and I felt like I was going about 80 or 90. takes a while to get up there, but not excruciatingly long like some cars.
I know gear wont give me more power, but about how much faster acceleration will I get?

V6's suck @@@SSSSS[8D] Theyre SOOOO SLOW!![8D] Why dont you guys grow a pair and get a V-8[8D]
That was a funny read. You guys are really sensitive about your V-6...........
And eagle cather, you shouldve just got a Probe GT
. 2.5 v6 that puts out over 30hp more than the 3.8, runs 15's stock, handle really well, get 28+mpg, and look pretty nice. And best of all theyre SUPER cheap. You couldve gotten a nice clean '97 GT or GTS for $2500. Looks like you didnt do your research all that well.
As for the mustang not being able to handle, Ive got an 85 GT and Ive raced 300zxTT's in the twisties, they dont even come close to hangin w/ me. Now a 911 on the other hand thats a good run for my money.
