now thats wat i like to hear, what people drive is what people like. a ford guy is prolly a ford guy cuz he had a ford to start, a honda guy is a honda guy cuz he prolly had a honda to start. obviously i am a honda guy. Plus my specific car isnt much of a straight line fast kinda car..."TYPE-SH", but then again, yall might not not much about that stuff. anywayz, car guys are car guys....we all just need to ge along.
If we could all afford to go F/I with our cars, many of us would have bought a GT in the first place.

And stock for stock, a prelude and 05 V6 stang are about dead even; driver's race. I'm looking at 1999-2001 Preludes running 15.0-15.4 seconds with a manual tranny. This is about the same for a V6 stang, though I've seen a stock V6 hit 14.8, autos are more like 15.1-15.3.
That's what i was thinking...3-5 car lengths is easily a sec, second and a half, no way he raced an 05-06 or even new edge 5-sp. The only v6's i could see losing by that much is a new edge auto or 94-98 sn95. The H22 Prelude <97-01> is a nice car for sure, but it's also quite heavy, though not as heavy as us. We have 10 more chp stock, 90 or so tq but also weigh 300lbs more, and that's in a basic coupe with 16's and such.

Then again if it's a street race, everythings out the window, anything can happen, that's why street racing <particulary roll racing, which import 4-bangers love obviously> is just lame and an awful judge of a cars capability.

Well we sit here and pick on people below us like the (RICER) and then gt picks on us cause our v6 is below them so no one on here has room talking..............but I will agree with the others when it comes to "you like what you like" same goes with some people like Harleys some people like street bikes, but everytime I see a street bike pass a harley they always throw there hand at each other, so why pick on someone that likes a 4 cyclinder or a v6 or a v8. GT owners can sit here and say well the v6 sucks when you beat us at the track (or street), but what are you saying when a 3.0 liter v6 SUPRA (that i have a seen with my on eyes putting out 980 RWHP) out runs you? Anyways the point I'm getting at here is there is always someone that will be faster than you regardless if it's a 4 cyclinder, v6, v8, or hell even a incline motor!

you wanna know why people make fun of the sixers and why the sixers get no respect? Here's why, no offense to anyone who wants to take my honesty as some sort of stupid personal attack:

Say you know nothing about mustangs, and all you know is that they are supposed to be fast. If you go looking for a "fast" car, and you see a mustang, and you drive the v6 one, you are usually left saying, "well that wasn't fast at all, in fact, it was slower than a 2001 v6 eclipse. How disappointing, there's no way can I compensate for my needle dick with this car, I need a v8." (those were my exact sentiments when I was shopping for my car). granted the s197 has a little more kick to it, but it's not like it's a world of difference.

Then you come on this website to learn about the GT you just bought and see that half the people in the sixer section can't get a fact straight, and you just can't help but lose respect. please don't make me find examples, I'm not here to judge, just figured you might want to know the point of view that a lot of people have. I know I'm not the only one who thinks that. if I didn't see threads saying "You might beat a new edge GT, but no way could you take a stock 5.0!" every other day, I would think differently.

oh, and v6's are the main vehicle of choice for all the 16-18 year olds who drive around like idiots and make the cops pull me over thinking I'm one of them, so that adds to it as well.

I apologize in advance for the honesty, I know someone is bound to get all pissy cause of it.

as a respected member of this forum, (and the one known for the almighty poopar comments, classic) i agree, and yet disagree with what you are saying. i definately agree with the first two paragraphs of what your saying. many of my friends will think that a 94-98 v6 mustang is fast just because its a mustang. but then again, they dont knwo any better. do i think i have a fast car by any means? no. not even close, but i know that there are still MANY cars slower than me, believe it or not. but i definately agree, the 3.8 v6 section on here, im sorry to say it, blows. theres so much bad info on there and so much arguements over which is better that i barely post about anything on there anymore. theres only like 2 regulars on there who actually know what theyre talking about (im not gonna say any names) they are nice people, dont get me wrong, but it would be nice to go in there and see a post where 90% of the posters agree to something. not "oh yeah ull kill new edge GT's but not 5.0's, 5.0's are MONSTARS!!!!"


i live in northern virginia, where ricers are everywhere in their 1991 honda civics with a fartcan, giant wing, etc. there are still cars i can tkae on, but then again, i NEVER go out looking for a race, when i do its with a friend in a "not that serious" type of race, just for fun when theyre no traffic whatsoever. ive had some races before that ive won, ive had some ive lost, but ive maybe had like , what ,10 races total ever in my car. that being said, thats why i say the v6 mustang is for someone who wants the style of a stang without all the rumble and glory. i dont even knwo why this is an issue, the v6 vs. v8 thing. if anything, the v8 brethren should be thanking the v6 brethren for keeping the mustang alive, and the v6 guys shold be thanking the v8 guys for the legacy of the mustang GT. why fight, why be like "man ur car is a pos cuz its a v6" why be like "man ur car sucks cuz a 98 z28 can kill it with no problem" its dumb and pointless, if anything, rag on these tools who come in here with these lame cobalts acting like their the shiz. stop the hate

Exactly. I was doing a little more research on Preludes, one of the Type SH's broke into the 14.78 only because it had a 55HP shot of Zex. [:'(]

These two are probably dead even.. from a dig, I'd give it to the stang; and to the Prelude from a roll. I'd love to go at it with a Prelude.. it's a shame they don't use them in Honda events I've watched (civic hatch, integras, and S2000s mostly).

I've beaten juiced preludes at the track when I was on motor only. And a juiced 240. But to be honest, the import guys are all cool to me at the track. And despite me wanting to prove to the import guys that a V6 can be quick, they are really cool to me in the staging lanes. Of course, it helps when you don't talk smack, and talk to people in the staging lanes. Of course there are some cocky guys in the lanes that ignore, don't give you the time of day....yea, I love lining up with one of them next to me!

you are wrong. @100mph, a car is moving nearly 147 ft each second. 3-5 car lengths (30-50 feet) is a few tenths. this is exactly what I was talking about when I bring up the horrible info point.

If I was off by a few tenths then, what horrible info, what a horrible error, I am sorry for posting such rubish on your forum der fuhrer.

Thank god being a v8 owner means never making such a huge mistake.

maybe you should thank me for correcting the bullsh*t you posted instead of acting like a sh1thead.

you weren't off by a few tenths on a guess, you were talking about something you had no idea about.
