Just like there is tons of modded G8 GT's and GXP's that would no doubt drag you down the freeway. I'm talking stock or near stock here.

I was under the impression that only the G8 GXP had the "GXP" label. I never bothered keeping track of the FWD wannabe NASCAR Pontiac's.

If my GTO came with a nascar edition, I wouldn't have bought it. And I actually watch nascar when my father in law comes over, too. BUt the minute they put nascar graphics on a fwd V6 grocery getter you might as well have painted them all with rainbow colors and installed a factory flower pot like the VW bug came with...

Never seen a front wheel drive Grand National, have you? Reading comprehension, it's worth investing the time to conquer it.

For a V6, those cars were decent. They had the L67 supercharged 3.8, 240HP/280TQ. Pretty sure they ran mid 14's in the 1/4. That's enough to keep up with the 2V 4.6 Mustangs.

My stock 2V ran consistent 14.1 14.2 @99 MPH so it would def be close

Do you LIKE slow cars or something? First you defend the 14 sec. mustang, and now your defending the 14 sec. FWD v6 POS...

Get your story straight, champ. I was defending the 3V Mustang, saying it runs mid 13's in the 1/4 mile. Mid 14's for a 240HP v6 sedan or full size coupe is pretty good. Fastest FWD 3800 V6 ran an 8.8 in the 1/4 mile.

You know what V6 & a GT Mustang have in common?

Neither can break 14s!!

I was talking to a guy last year at the track with a Roush Supercharged V6 Mustang. (Very cool car) He was beating his buddies GT all night...still only ran a best of 14.1.

I'm not a Mustang hater though...I really wouldn't mind owning one But I need a 4-door.
