How can you live with your self? And yea s197 GT > F Bodies

I havent even heard the excuses the f bodies use against those match ups. They talk shit about GTs then cry with Cobras.

Yeah that about sums it up right there .

V6 + forged stroker short block + stock ported over priced heads + over priced billet camshaft/rockers/pushrods + blower + nitrous + over priced tune = high 10 second/low 11 second V6 Mustang thats not even close to being street driven .

Or you could just buy a used 03-04 Cobra and slap a Whipple on it . Better resale value , gets way more leg and has a 6 spd in it .

Or you could just buy a forged short block, and ported heads, and run 11s with a turbo setup?

Back to the still spending more money on the v8[+cost of the car], I mean why are we arguing either way? Why waste money on modding any mustang we should all drive LS1's either way....

can't argue that point.

Its not fair but thats stupid ass Fords problem not GM's . Ford chose to go with that retarded ass 4.6 mod crap and still leave it a measly 4.6 (281 cubic) sized engine . The least they could do is shit can the V6 motor , install the 4.6 into the base model cars and give the Gt and/or Cobras a bigger engine such as a 350+ cubic inch version of the 32V mod motor . I think a 5.4 Nav engine with an aluminum block would have been pretty cool in the Cobras myself .

I am a true blue Ford guy but GM got it right on the LSX engine .

Or yank that out and install a pump gas stroked Windsor and run low 11's / high 10's without breaking a sweat on the motor all day long . I bet building the W stroker would come out about the same maybe a little cheaper.

That would have been nice...
Then ford would have to overcome its problem of putting a 5.4 in the sn95 and not making it weigh 3800lbs[gt500]

Theirs a guy on the v6 forums who tried to go that way...
He ended up going with an m112 and built v6 instead.

Once again that would be their problem . The F boats are about 3800 lbs or so and run bad ass with an LS1 in them .

I have a 94 Gt street car with a 393W and a 6 spd I am building right now . Its no harder to do than anything else and will run circles around any super charged or turbocharged Mustang V6 "street car" .

My fboat weighed in at 3400 almost full of gas without me. Just FYI. They are heavy but they're not all THAT heavy.

If you're talking weight maybe

Having both an LS1 car and a mod motor car, I'd give the power gains and ease of modding to the Camaro any day of the week. I only got a Mustang because the Fbody wasn't comfortable to me with how short I am.

As for V6 vs V8 vs V12 vs I3 vs W16 vs what the hell else you're using to move your 2 or 4 or 6 wheels around (I think I covered everything), who cares what you use so long as you make power with it?? I'm only going with a 4V because I got the motor cheap, after the cost of the build etc. it would have been cheaper and faster with an LS1. But whatever, that's life, when life is cars.

OOOOOOOO trust me i did my research for over 3months while i was unable to walk (surgery) just waiting to be able to get my maunual car. I went to my insurance agent at least 3 times, with a huge list of cars. The 6 still came out cheaper. thats why i pay i think $400 every 6 months, for full coverage.
And pluss trust me i wish i could have gotten a v8 just like prob every other v6 but a lot of us are just unable to. like me i still am in high school and wasnt allowed to get a v8 just because of my parents.

But given the choice ..... you would have went with a V8 . Why is that ?

[SCobraVT99]

I think the whole point here is, if you have a V6, get rid of it, or dont bitch when ur mods trash your car, and if you dont have a mustang, dont buy a V6
