I wanna know how many of you guys take shit for having a 6'er ... and what your reponses are...
I hate hearing "its just a 6" or nice "6" i mean at what point does one gain respect for owning a 6... If I ran 400 HP... there is always the.. "well if you did that to a GT itd be at 500+ HP...
My car is not by any means fast.. and I dont claim it to be.. but there is always a faster car out there.. so where is the love?
And do the people who own vipers pick on guys that own v8s... lol
Never been dogged to bad about it, but I really don't care about how much power I have, more about how the car looks. When people ask me why I've put so much work into a V6 though, I just say, everyone expects a V8 to be competative, but how many people expect a V6 to be more?
well there are some people out there who use there 2 extra cyl as a status symbol, not just that but theres a lot on the road that smokes Mustang GTs, so they need to take it out on us. not just that but from alot of GT drivers i talk to all they can think about is racing there car or getting it ready to race.
honestly i know ima get flamed for this but if i wanted a race car i would not buy a Mustang.
don't worry about saying what you think... won't be any flaming on these forums. I'll make sure of it :cool:Quote:

And yes viper guys can make fun of V-8' people.... but only if they can beat the V-8.... . Until your v6 is faster than the majority of v8' stangs........... put on a flame suit..
I personally think the base mustang is an insult to the mustang name. it comes from the factory with lame looking wheels, sounds like crap, and its pathetically slow. Then you got all the guys that slap body kits and all the other ricer junk on there, its just ridiculous. Luckily the majority of owners are females or old guys - neither of which care about "mustangs" they just think they have a pretty car, LOL
Hey, why don't you bit me?? Mabye all of us can't have mommy or daddy buy us a GT like you have. Leave the 6 out of this. Thanks. :looney: :fu:Quote:

i would love the GT and i have mad respect for them BUT when im done with my car this summer i will suprise and make some GT owners eat there words. i don't dislike GT owners . . just the cocky ones.
Dont bother... people will always diss yur 6. Im just focusing on making the car nice. I have a surround sound dvd system in mine, you know.. the 800 dollar LCD high def flip out screen on the consol... ohh baby yes. with a custom painted interior... beautiful. but when i got my car i was 17 and mom didnt like the idea of a V8. im 18 now.. i bought the car with my own money but hey... you get what you got. make the best of it.
well im going more show then go but the supercharger will make it more fun, i am only gonna push 6psi cause i don't wana to internal work on my daily driver. right now im working on cosmetic and suspention.Quote:

oh yur kiddin me.... dang man. i dont have any connctions here in ohio. in my town it sjust a bunch of kids that dont know shit about cars. the Eaton has what.. a 25-40% increase in HP? I know the good vortects give around 40-50%. I dont know the stats on the eatons.Quote:

Take shit for owning a 6?
This is a every day thing for me but i put sometime into my motor. And all my buddys say oh its just a 6 but when all they see r my taillights they can tell me oh its just a 6. my car sounds like a blowen gt. The cam gear make it sound like theres a blower on it. car mods i've done cai, cam,cam gear,saved heads, a blowers and 4.2 liters on my to do list right now.
And as for the guys with v8s they pay more for gas,insurance and speeding tickets haha . :dance: :dupe:
well personally.. the best thing to do is grab a 302 V8 like on the GT.. and stroke it. you're livin large then.
also update on the psi. 6 actually would be a good idea.. in fact 9 will work also. but about 12+ is for racing and at about 14 psi your blower would be pushing it at around 6K rpm. so yea. Turbo's the way to go. properly turned and located right next to your headers you negate the lag effect.. and the amount of boost you recieve is the square of the exaust.. against the supercharger your gettting more boost cause the super tax's horses off your car from the belt and in return adds more.. negating the tax but whatever. 9psi should work fine. just take it in to get a turn up and youll be rollin'
uhh what year GT are u talking about with the 302 in it? GT's are 281's i thought...Quote:

A big part of modding my V6 is too learn how engines work and get some experience inside an engine. I do not want to attempt a complicated cam swap or something of that nature for the first time on a 30k dollar car. To me, its all about havin fun and being unique. :nutkick:
