Default High 13s or low 14s with basic mods?

Was wondering if I did the following:

Dual exhaust
CAI
Toner chip


would that put me into the high 13s or low 14s?

Also, this would def put me into high 14s right? If I go to the track with a high 14 car is that considered to be loserish? I cant beat a GT unless its from the 90s that is fine but i can beat a gt which is cool but what else can i beat with those modifications? i am not going to be all like yo man i am gonna take a vette. but can i beat alot of cars with my car? i like my new car but i think i should have bought a faster car. i cant afford the gt but i could have afford a honda civic and I am starting to miss my old one lol oh well. i thought the mustangs were faster because of the repition? spelling. but i know v6 are not fast unless they are modifyed which really sux. import cars are so much faster and it just goes to show you that american muslce just lives on an old rep. dont get me wrong i like mustangs though.

neither, mid 14's

is it auto or 5 speed???

the 5 speeds are far from being called slow, and not to far away from being called fast

the auto's just need a tune to set them free

did you imply that your civic was faster that your new mustang? any import car at the same price of the v6 mustang is more likely to be slower.

14's are decent, you will always find some hardcore person who has busted into the 10's though



also, there is no chip, you will need to get a tuner (xcal2, or pred)

In an auto, high 14's from intake/exhaust/tuner maybe. Doing dual exhaust won't provide any noticible gains over a putting on a new single.

i wouldnt call it slow, and compared to MOST typical 16-22 yearold's cars its gonna be one of the fastest

there will always be sumone faster and u will never apreciate the power u have and will always be looking for more

In addition to a tuner, I would recommend adding a limited slip differential (LSD) and 3.73:1 gears (and better street tires or drag radials on lightweight rims). If you want to cut more time off your 1/4 times, put your car on an extreme diet. Shedding 2-300 lbs. would make a huge difference.
