bad weekend so before i got into the ls1 world i was a mustang guy, my pride and joy was a 97 cherry red gt which at the time and being 18 when i got it i though it was fast. well i got rid of it just ove a year back after puttin alot of work into it for a car with alot greater potential, an 01 ws6.
i got this 01 ws6 from a buddy in the army who for some odd reason ive yet to figure out traded this for a prius?
anyways i ran into one of my other buddys who bought the mustang off of me and we ran a couple of times and the darn thing kept up with me every time the only excuse i could give at the time was that the road was wet and i had my tool box which was full at the time in the back of the car (150lbs approx.)
still a slap in the face to me and kind of embarrasing i know im gonna hear all kinds of crap from everyone here about this but hey my car is bone stock the stang is a full bolt on car idk if that buys me any mercy though
then the next day i met this dodge ram i have been hearin about forever.
this guy lives in my hometown and is the only guy out of this particular group i dont know, hes got quite an amazing truck. idk the year im wantin to say 97 but its a cummins 12v twin turbo custom cam and pistons pushin darn near 80 of boost.
so anyways i meet him at a light expecting to get beat but i want to see what this thing will do anyways
he takes the bait like all diesel guys do and proceeds to obliderate me off the line holy crap i couldn believe it i just gave up after second when i couldn see anymore cuz of all the smoke, def got several truck lengths right away and idk where he was when i gave up i could barely tell where i was.
this one didn upset me at all i was actually just quite amazed this is an all purpose vehicle and wow is it fast the only thing it cant do is take corners and stop very fast.

What did your old mustang have done to it? I'm guessing alot since it says you put alot of work into it. Put a cam, lid, full exhaust and it will be alot different story, and is the ws6 an a4?.

Wow, so your Army friend came outta the closet huh? Worked out pretty well for you!
I love ws6's. i have a firehawk and still want a ws6. Any who, (unless your subconcious still has feelings for your old ride and letting it win) get some dr's and whoop it next time!

yeah i was askin him for a while if he turned on me but i guess not cuz he just got married (to a girl), hes savin quite alot of gas though
the cars an m6
Axisofoil your the first person to get that yes every car has those parts from the factory i didn say they were anything special just said i had them lol and yes atmospheric pressure 14.7
its already a diff story got better tires and with the car unloaded on dry roads its no contest, for some reason he went put a stage 2 clutch in it and it takes a crapload of pressure to push the pedal on that cable clutch and that car is near impossible to shift quick anymore i drove it and killed it four times, three of those were in the driveway/street just tryin to leave
as for what i did to the stang i fixed the whole runnin out of breath at four thousand rpm's problem those motors have and it helped alot, major airflow improvements besides cams, made it hook up better and shift better until dummy put the new clutch in it that is
for the procharged stang yeah i just found one in my hometown some lil kid just gradiated high school and got this gay lookin mexistang every body panel but the doors has somethin stuck on it and then theres a huge wing that looks like an ironing board sittin on the deck lid, at least its procharged. im huntin him down every day now to let him know how stupid he is for thinkin its a race car hes runnin rubber band tires and ive seen him try to launch and its pathetic so it should be fun when i get him next to me

I wouldn't worry about him keeping up with you like you said the stang is full bolt on and sounds like it runs good i would expect that to keep up with a stock LS1 somewhat. Time for some mods for the ws6 and go stang spanking
It really is a good time, they never seem to see it coming
