well tonite me and my girlfriend were cruising around when i see a new style stang fly by me. I quickly catch up and ask him what he has done he says just exhaust and intake, sounded reallll nice. So i ask him if he wants to go, he agrees. We go 3 honks and were off, i instantly pulled about a half car on him and it stayed that way. I was really happy considering i have just an l03. My mods are hedman headers, hooker exhaust, 1.6 rockers, and an open element, my best run was a 15.3 at 92. Judging by my mph i thank god i went from a roll. Any one know what tho's things run???

Nice win! i heard those v6 mustangs weren't all that bad speed wise but i don't think my l03 would beat one lol.

Nice kill dude!, V6 stangs are crap haha. the newer ones are faster than the older styles like 04 back but still not incradibly fast. My STOCK 96' caprice with the 4.3 help up agaqinst a 95' v6 stang with full exhaust LOL

hahaha, man im telling you im getting more and more suprised with this little 305 its only got 20k on it but still!

v10viper04

I used to have an L03, suprised the hell out of me sometimes for being completely stock.

5-0 Blackbird

I remember my 91' bird with an LO3, it only had a k&N air filter and a Edelbrock 3" cat-back, thing always surprised me, lol. Mine was a 5 spd too, which made it pretty fun to drive, lotta pep for what they are.

A 95 and an 05 are very different V6s.

v10viper04

I know that... but still it shows fords attempt at an economy sports car was crap, a V6 Camaro/Firebird w/ 3.4/3.8 would walk one so easily and still get better gas mileage.

i saw a 99 v6 camaro beat a 05 v8 stang

had to of been pretty beefed up to say the least, or maybe alota nitrous

iroc-z666

i think it was just full exhaust and intake

v10viper04

I would believe that

05 stang g'ts have 300 horses 3.8s put out about 200 +30 for full exhasut and mabbe 10 for the intake thats only 240hp its still wouldnt have a chance

v10viper04

*correction* 05' stangs have 260hp.... 240 and 260 ain't too far off... Look it up no 05' GT stock made 300.. I'll bet on it
Unless were talking Cobra, or SVT

The 4.6-liter all-aluminum V-8 has three-valve heads and cranks out 300 horsepower, while the new SOHC V-6 engine generates 202 horsepower from 4.0 liters

from stangnet.com

come on guys did you seriously think they would make the new mustang with as much horsepower as the 04?
----------
soooo what about that bet

v10viper04

O my bad i forgot they changed the style in 05' i thought the body change was in 06" haha my bad. the 04' makes 260.... (got confused)

iroc-z666

but the 05 are heavier

TorqueTilla

yes they are heavier but they are still faster 05's run mid 13's

I doubt that one can get a 40hp gain from upgrading the exhaust and intake on a 3800. It is a V6. This kind of gains are hard to get on a V8 with the mods listed above. I would say the gain is probably about 15 to 20 hp max. That is to say it makes about 175 - 180 hp at the wheels.
I however agree that it would be no match for an 05 GT. The two cars would probably run close to a second apart in the 1/4. A 3.8L 4th gen will need some serious mods to keep up with that. I have a 4th gen v6 firebird as a daily driver, and it doesn't come close to my 3rd gen formula, which I am sure is slower than an 05 GT at its present state.

v10viper04

Regardless think about it this way, maybe the newer one was set up wrong or maybe puts less to the ground, hp vs. is not all you think about, theres A LOT more to the equation.

iroc-z666

i was just told that it was intake and exhaust there might be more

my buddy has a 07 v6 stang auto and he ran a 9.53 in the 1/8 mile stock which equals out to be a 14.8 in the 1/4 mile so the are not that slow stock.

Travis odell

My buddy has a 98 Stang 4.6-liter V8, and i can hang with him on a roll however he dusts my asz at a standstill.

abyliks

a 4.0 stang will do low to mid 15s showroom stock, if its got a CAI/exhaust he SHOULD have a tuner (you need to tune them for everything) to go with it, which should get it into the 14s

you beat the driver, but good kill

ehh idk from a roll i think it should have been dead even, i trap 92 mph in the 1/4 and thats high 14's so i think i would have got him regardless

v10viper04

92 mph is like a 15.3 i believe.. i might be wrong but i don't think so

TorqueTilla

iTrader: (1)

ohhh ok well im just saying that because i saw a guy on this board and a few other ppl runs 15.3's at like 87-88

Travis odell

It all depends on how you hook up.

abyliks

i ran 15.8 @89... 2.4 60' ftl

I used to have a 1997 V6 Camaro turning 13.8 second quarter miles, so I know that beating an 05 GT can be done with a V6. Those 3.8's are pretty stout, and if you have the 5-speed coupe with Y87 RPO code, they came with posi.

The 1994-1998 V6 stangs came with 145-150HP 3.8L V6s.
The 1999-2004 V6 stangs came with 193hp 3.8L V6s.
The 2005+ V6 Stangs came with 210HP 4.0L V6s.
