Yes your car will handle a small shot of NITROUS (not nos) provided you have enough fuel supply and good tune.

Seems like a waste of money, the V6's are extraordinarily slow. I would save up for another car. Just my 2 cents.

Harry · 12-31-2009, 05:58 PM

No matter what you do with it, it is still going to be slower than a stock V8. Unless you dump alot of money in it. You are wanting to go faster, But I have a feeling you want to be faster than a V8. Of course it is your car and money. Do what you want. Not trying to be an ass but realistic.

slowgreen99 · 12-31-2009, 06:05 PM

like Harry said, its all in how much you want to spend. But there are tons of potential with the 3.8 motor (4.3 stroker kits, turbo, s/c, n2o, etc). Its all in what you want. Itd be cool to say "its just a v6" and cut ass with it.

BTW, I read that the stock v6 block is good for right around 1000 with forged internals.

Let's simplify this:

How much do you want to spend?

That is about what the bird makes.

check the super six motorsports page out. It will give you an idea of what is out there and what they can do. Exhaust is harder to get right because it can easily sound like pissed off bees in a jar.

SenorSmoothie · 12-31-2009, 07:17 PM

i really dont know how much i wanna spemd, i kinda just want to take it one step at a time so im not blowin a lot of money at once

LXtasy · 12-31-2009, 07:19 PM

and than double or triple that.

red99pony · 12-31-2009, 07:36 PM

are you wanting to be able to beat a stock v8 stang or just speed up a bit?

Illusions · 12-31-2009, 07:58 PM

when all is said and done your still going to say " I wish I had a V8" I just think its not worth it.

Personally I would save my money and go to college, the payout has a much better return on investment.

Darryl Buckner · 12-31-2009, 10:41 PM

I have a brand new nitrous kit. $450.00 complete, and you can move it to the next car you get pretty easy if you like. It will adjust 50, 90, and 125 hp shots.

your car is awesome for a guy your age.

just roll with it, and enjoy the convertible.

i have a fast car, and you can only go SO FAST...so it's more bout bragging rights than actually racing on the street.

just relax & e-race some.

lots of things more importnat than wasting money on a car.

Not all V6's are slow my friend.......there is not a "stock production V8" made now days that my little V6 could not whup in the 1/4, but it is not stock either.....it is also broke at the moment as well.

but she will be better than ever soon.....it's a love hate relationship with my GN. Speed is not cheap as most know. Unless you know what you are doing tuning a forced induction V6 for HP, then it is best you stick with a V8 for your power needs.

I never said all V6's are slow lol, just the Mustang ones. I've ridden in both old and new ones, and it always felt slow. Hell there was a bolt on 97 GT that hopped on the Mustang dyno right after me, made a lot of noise and sounded good, but when all was said and done I made almost double his whp, and I was on low boost on my little 16g, that pretty much killed the whole mustang thing for me lol
