mid to low 15's would be my guess with a stick. My buddy has a pretty mild 3.8 with some engine work, and a cat back and 75 shot and went 14.2.

stick or auto? my GP does the 1320 15.5 w/fram air filter. F-bod should be faster w/3.42 rear & less weight. Some have gotten their stick cars n/a into the 14's.

yeah, about 200 hp seems to get these cars about as fast as i would ever need to go.
i just want enough power to keep up with stock mini vans and stuff. i hate getting eaten at every light by dump trucks and old people
allthou for only 80hp[at the crank!] the duke will get going on the hiway!!
i would love to see a dyno of a stock duke with 150,000 miles on it!!!
65hp 100tq,thats just so funny to think about.

theres some fast v6s on there.
and when i do my build im going to be building for 200hp/200tq at the wheels. i doubt ill get that but ill sure as hell try.
im building a four but the sixs are close in power to weight compared to the 3.0 l4.
