who would win in a race against a v6 thirdgen and a v6 97 mustang? also how fast are fourth gen v6 camaros?

 

You will loose. The 4th gen f-bodies had much more powerful v6's and ran in the 15's. I believe the SN95 mustangs (like the 97) also ran in the 15's with a 6 although some years are quicker than others, both cars will be much faster than your 3.1 or 2.8.

 

yeah seriously, some of the newer stang 6's are like 230 horse. i dont know about 97's, but still, theyre faster than your six.

 

now if it were a TTA thirdgen which is a v6 but has just a slight advantage with a turbo , then it wins by alot :hail:

 

know the 96 mustangs are slow
the v6 has not power what so ever

 

97 Mustangs ARE NOT 15 second cars. They have 150 hp and they run 17s, I believe. 98 was a changing year. They got...190 hp, I believe...

 

I actually plan on racing a 97 Mustang with the Crown Victoria once I get it running better. And get a couple of upgrades. I'm also going to suggest that he let someone ride with him. He doesn't know much about racing. Let's see...

Crown Vic-- 3800 lbs, 4050 lbs with me in it.
140 hp/250 lbs-ft
Mustang-- 3350 lbs, 3450 lbs with him in it.
150 hp/??? lbs-ft

Got to find a big guy and get 20-30 more hp for the LTD. He's got big speakers, I think...


Which one of those cars is yours?

 

Okay, from 1994-1998 the V6 Mustang had 150 hp, and were 16-17 second cars.

From 1999-2003 the Mustang had 190 hp (Might have been 193, but i am not sure) and were 15-16 second cars.

From 1993-1995 the V6 camaro had the 3.4 and were 16-17 second cars.

From 1996-2002 The Camaro had 200 hp and were 15-16 second cars.

I am not sure on the V6 thirdgens, but I would assume no better than high 16s, pobably 17s.

 

He's got it. Ignore my post and look at his.

 

Are 4th gen v6's really that quick. I raced my friend in one. we are both 5 speeds and I have a 305 TBI. We raced from a light and I was ahead by like 2 cars at 45.

 

Torque.

 

The V-6 4th gens are not that fast. Faster than a 6 cyl thirdgen yes. Faster than much else no. They are quick and peppy for what they are. But not much more than that.

If you plan on racing one in a thirdgen 6 cyl be preppared with extra lube. You will get it up the butt pretty hard.

 

96+ fourthgen V6's run just a hair under what a 305 TPI thirdgen runs... I bet you could take a pre-99 mustang v6 though... they only put out 160 Hp and weighed a lot more than a thirdgen... granted the '93-'95 fourthgen had only 160 also, but it weighed less than those mustangs.

 

I always thought the mustang was less then the camaro for weight

if I remember right a 98 mustang GT was only a hair above 3000 something like 3046 lbs or so
while the thirdgen stock is what?3300+ in stock trim?
