99 Camaro (V6) Vs. 98 Mustang GT
I had just gotten this car, and i seen a mustang GT that sounded bad *** and look very moded so i caught up to him through traffic and rode side by side for like a mile then finally we get to the light, no traffic in front of us. I seriously thought i was gonna lose badly but wanted to see where my car stands, but the light turn green and i got about 1 1/2 cars on him.then we got caught at the next light and he was like "lets try that again" . another car length on him. so now I was geting cocky and at the next light I had to let him know his mustang GT just got spanked by a v6 camaro....he was like "What$#^%! ...do you got spray of something? ... Nope just a new lid and exhust...and drove away.

I remember a test of a Firebird 3.8, 5 speed with the Sport package, (dual exhaust, 3.42 gears and better suspension), against a 5 speed GT. The Pontiac was .2 quicker to 60 and .3 quicker in the 1/4.

I agree.
Nice kill OP. pretty sad when a V8 gt stang loses to a sixer, basically stock.
Hell, I think the S197 V6s will beat those 4.6s, LOL

I'm gonna play devil's advocate on this one. I had a '98 GT (when I bought it, it was stock) 5spd, and yes it was slow... but not V6 Camaro speed. But almost all of the 94-98 cars have 2.73s as well, and mine was one of the few that got 3.27s. I'm sure that's worth some noticeable difference. And Echo, I think you're thinking of the Y87 package Camaros. I raced an A4 Y87 back when I had my old Integra (stock) from 0-90, and I was surprised that I didn't pass him till about 70mph. They run pretty well.

a 98 Mustang GT is deff. a very good race for a few bolt on 3.8....
I have much more then just bolt on's but i had a similar night with a 01 5spd Mustang GT...he had a holly big bore throttle body, short throw shifter, Headers,exhaust,intake,Ported intake manifold,12lb fiberglass hood and some Computer chip thing (changes your A/F when you get WOT for more power)....needless to say i was only set on 7psi and i smoked him 4 times from a highway roll....last race i let him take off first....still walked him like no tomarrow....I know his mods cause he followed me off the highway to the gas station. 2 Young guys (in their mid 20s) came up to me and asked if i was spraying my LS1...im like LS1?? this is a V6...hes like bullshit pop your hood..sooooo i did and the face he made when he read 3.8 was priceless...so we talked a little bit more, he complemented me alot and we shook hands and off he went. Very cool guys which is odd. Most mustang owners i meet are very very cocky (any mustang owners on this site dont take that personal just saying 95% of the ones i have met are)...
good kill! deff. sounds about right

God knows you wouldn't want to give it away when you sell the car, it would kill any resale value knowing it only made those numbers.
It probably had a whole in the block than. 265 at 10 psi is ridiculously low, I mean yeah the 4.6 didn't have a good year but 265 just isn't a proper number for that car.
Maybe it had a potato for a cat...
