Hey upshift...

[Gas Man]

I don't know all the inner workings on this crap.

But heed this warning Upshift. Be carefull moddin your daily driver, no matter what it is, cause that daily driver needs to be bullet proof. That vechicle is what you need to get money to work to be able to mod the "hobby car".

[Shift]

Not trying to bust your balls here but you said you can't afford a GT but in the other thread you say your going to supercharge your sixer. Trust me I have a 99 GT with a procharger on it and in the end it would be A LOT cheaper to sell the 6 and buy a GT rather then but a s/c or turbo + supporting mods for the 6. And sure you can do minor mods like full exhaust, upd's, gears, hand held tuner, cai, intake and plenum, but even in the end just that is gonna cost you a couple grand for maybe 30 rwhp. So you spend all that money and your still only going to be what a low 14 second car? (w/o a s/c that it.) From the sounds of it I'd just save your money for school.

I was trying to be cool and give it to you guys straight up instead of making it sound like I just gave up. You would have called me a pussy then too if I did that. If you all want to know the real truth? Fine, at this point in time I DO NOT CARE FOR SPORTBIKES AT ALL and my next outlet of entertainment is my car. Shit it doesnt mean that it scared me shitless and, to bash myself a little, I shouldn't have been wearing the facesheild I was at 9 oclock at night. And for those telling me not to mod my sixxer well I am. Im 18 fucking years old and I cant afford a GT or the gas for one so I am turning to my car. For those who dont know I payed for 100% of my car. Bought it brand new off the lot and I sure as hell dont want to put it to waste as just a daily driver. Plus, if you want to bitch at me for selling it even after that, then come pay my tuition so I can keep the damn bike. I am having to pay for everything, my car, my college, my books, my phone, my insurance, my dirtbike, so i needed a little extra cash and that extra cash just happened to be sitting in my garage. So anyone who is calling me a vag or whatever the hell else fuck off Im not taking this shit.

I think you're getting a little too worked up here... I'm just busting balls a bit... as well as trying to help you.

You don't have to take my advice... but my opinion is this:

1. Get back on the bike, and ride it. You WILL love it. I guarantee. So you had a scare moment... it happens (to all of us). Learn from it.

2. Your V6 mustang mod plan is a true waste of money... if you REALLY want to go with the car-modding route, take the money you're planning on pouring into the six and save it as you go, then buy a GT. Modding an american six is an extremely fiscally inefficient decision...

3. Don't get worked up when people question your decisions, especially since you're so young... they're mostly trying to help you.

UNTRUE.... ever hear of a Buick Grand National... they are capable of 11 second quarter mile times with bolt ons. Believe it or not there are quite a bit of performance parts available for the mustang and camaro V6's and there are many built to run in the 11's. Anything can be built to be fast all it takes is money.

Well duh. But theres more efficient ways of getting there. The OHV motors the v6 ford cars use is crap, the block is good for a decent amount of hp but gl getting there without a serious investment. The old 2v v8 in the previous generation mustang is shit to as the motor CANNOT breath. The current gen 3v SOHC is not bad at all in the current GT and responds very nicely to bolt ons, unlike the sixer. However fords best motor is still the 4v DOHC found in the 03-04 cobra and Mach 1. Bottom line is if your on a budget a stock 4.0 liter ohv 15 second car is not the motor/car to start with.

EDIT: And btw there are no v6 mustangs or camaros in the 11's with some type of F/I PLUS some serious suspension mods, usually requiring 10k+ investment + the price of the car.

11's is still slow as fuck.

Not for a street legal car it's not. Especially if you can pull it off with a DD without massive weight reduction.

The grand national is an exception because those motors were built to be turboed... i.e. the GNX Grand National.

And yes, you can do ANYTHING with enough money... the point is does it make sense? Modding the shit out of a v6 mustang doesn't... that's the point.
