V6 kills?

As I read through the kill stories, I start to wonder, why isnt there any v6 kill stories in there? Then it clicks Does anyone have ANY v6 kill stories? I know our cars are a lil slow but come on, the mighty 3.1 can move somewhat.

I've beaten a 95 (non dohc) cavalier, a 98 s10 (4 cyl)and some others but I've been beaten by almost everything! Now I just cruise and listen to music. I wouldn't expect to beat anything with our underpowered overweight cars!

uhh, beat a fair number of cars. most notable was probably a 94 v-6 stang...140hp also. has more torque than me though so he mighta missed a gear or something, i dunno....either way, a wins a win made it better too cause he had a cowl hood, wing, rims, custom paint, stereo boomin, etc etc.

and before anyone comments, yeah i have a cowl hood too, but the 3.1L will soon be going by-bye:lala:

well when i had my firebird i beat a 24 GL volvo, those older honda crx, a 2.2 cav, and some suv. did not really like to race with it because she had the looks but not the power and did not want to give her a bad name.

v6 kills

Any Grand Am should die to our cars. The best they got is a 3.4V6 in the GT package, and that makes around 160hp I think.

Jeeps! Oh my, the Jeeps could get a stomping, even though they're not "cars", I'm betting the Cherokee's and Wranglers would get a whooping.

Sorry man, but a grand am, a jeep wrangler and cherokee would beat your v6 as well. You might be able to beat a 4 cyl wrangler but even than I don't think you have good odds. Just about all NEWER grand ams will beat you without much of a problem. Sad but true.....

yeah, I'm guessing even a base cherokee with the 4L v6 would put a hurt on you

yeah i agree that those cars could beat us, except for the wrangler. I got a couple friends with them and they're painfully slow...even though they got bigger engines, guess their gear ratios just make 'em suck at speed

Don't take those Grand Am's seriously. My friend only did an intake & cold air on his with some crappy exhaust and it is scraping 15.2's

Also those Jeeps aren't much of a joke either. From a roll my friends 4.6 didn't have any trouble walking a 2001 Prelude.
