    When either it dies of old age or I kill it.
    I'm already thinking ahead to the next evolution once I finish the one I have started.

    I'm at the point where I think that I'm done (yeah, right). Then I'm gonna switch to the 04 Cobra engine/transmission and take that as far as it can go. When will the need for HP & TQ end?????

    Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, to me the six was a present from my parents so I had to work with it a bit. I am planning on going the 04 cobra route, but those twin turbos look really good under the hood of a six, so you never know....

    It depends on how much money you have got. I talked to one guy and he has already 400hp. So the potential is there just how much money you want to spend.

    Cool

    I met one guy who has like 140,000 in his V6. That it is in dollars not in any other currency. I think he is pushing like something in the neignborhood of about 500hp or so. But he has money to piss away though. Matt

    well the v6 mustangs i think are great cars. they may not be able to be as fast as cobras but they look the same. if you are going for looks i think it is a great car to modify. if you want speed i would say get a cobra. either way i think you can have lots of fun modding it.

    Well I want to re-do my old interior first.. Give my ride a new paint job b/c I drive her everyday and get me a beater car while I'm at it.. I love fixing up the V6... cheaper insurance and mine still looks like a GT... so I don't mind at all..

    that is crazy cuz you can get the Hi Po 4.3 long block stroker motor with a good blower and be 600rwhp+ and that is only about $10,000 to $13,000 for the motor, blower and all your instalation and tuning... of course you have to do suspension and tranny but i just dont see where that much money would go... oh and to answer this thread that is the route that i am planning to go.. hopefully i manage to get things together to get there but it will take sometime...
