hi
there is a guy that works with me that has a 2001 ford focus that has a muffler and a reactive air filter on his car and no other mods.it is a five speed. he thinks he can beat my1992 camaro rs 3.1 v6 automatic. my mods are a 3:73 rear end,k&n air filter,flowmaster exhuast,pulleys,jet stage 2 chip,shift kit, crane ignition. his best time after running 11 times is a 16.2. do you think i can take him.

 

what the hell is a reactive air filter, sounds like on his part!

if he's runnin 16.2, i think he'll get ya, sorry to be the bearer of bad news though!

 

I disagree,i think the v6 will win

 

Well your car should look pretty nice if its a 92 RS. But I hate to say that i would be a close race. If your only running a V-6 with automatic. Then stick with asking other people if you will win or not. You would already know if you were running on V-8's But check it out your car looks good but if you want to do some serious mods then get another engine cuz they will preform better like your stage 2 chip for instance

 

It's a ***** brand of air induct/filter.

 

you prolly going to lose bud

sorry to say it myself

and also I think it is a ractive not a reactive filter

and they are one of the cheap brand of filters though

 

Even if you do lose...his car is still ugly (not that I'd turn down a ZX3 for a daily driver or anything...)

 

yep you'll get whooped

 

i also raced a 2000 ford mustang with the v6 and pretty much wooped his ***

 

Well a buddy has a 2000 camaro v-6 runing a low 15 and he lost to a 01 focus.

A V6 Camaro 3rd Gen, is good for what a 17 1/4 probably. Even with your mods, he'll win. I'm not sure but what is the powerband of a V6. I have 3:73s and they actually hurt my performance cause of the cam I have.

 

the power band of the v6 is 140hp@4400 rpms and the torque is 180ft.lbs@3600 rpms but i have about 170hp and about 200ft.-lbs

 

Where are you getting 30HP from, sounds very generous, with having a V6, with only cat-back, pullies , k &n , and ignition. I'd guess you're 10hp overstock, then you have to figure in the milage on your car.

 

i also have a jet stage 2 performance chip. its in the description on the first post when i started it. but i guess you werent paying attention to it

 

From my knowledge those chips don't do crap. Not flaming here, I just don't see 30 hp there.
