i was on my way home from school about a week ago and i saw this white stang weaving through traffic. i finally caught up to him at a light and glanced over and saw dual exhaust but no badges. i couldnt tell if it was a gt or a 6 cuz my exhaust was alot louder than his. i see him look over at my car car and back at the road so i didnt think he wants to race and i couldnt hear a rev. the light turns green and i see his bottom squat, so i punch it and spin through 1st and part of 2nd and by 60mph i was 2-3 cars ahead. at that point i let off cuz i knew it was a 6 cyl and theres alot of cops around that area and i already have a 60 in a 35 ticket. i roll my window down and when he catches up he asks me if it was a v6 and i said no its a formula. Hes like "oh, i was like wtf?" apparently he had a chip, exhaust, k&n fipk and headers. pretty quick for the v6 but still... its a v6. pretty cool guy just that money could been spent better than a v6 mustang, maybe on a gt or he could get a real car and get an f-body

Oh man good kill. I thought you were going to say it turned out to be a GT anyways, since thats about how you should pull on a 4.6

I have beaten alot of 4.6's, one time they guy talked to me afterwards and asked me what he could buy for his 99-04 GT to get as fast as my car. I told him dont waste the money, go buy a F-body. BTW he was an off duty cop

gotta love them formulas..what an idiot for not noticing the exhaust note. Thats why I wish I would have kept my stock exhaust and just added an e-cutout in which could be opened seconds before racing.

yea i know, my car doesnt hook up on our shi**y roads like it does on our track. plus he got me off the line cuz i wasnt payin attention and with his mods hes just a little shy of a 4.6 as far as hp at the crank goes. but the look on his face was priceless

IdahoLT1

wheres your cutout at? i wanted one but wasnt sure if i would lose that lt1 torque with the back pressure loss. my y-pipe got disconnected this summer when i hit a speed bump at the wrong angle and my exhaust was louder than s***. made a few ****** in their beamers put their top back up after i dropped a gear and passed them but it was a dog and i was afraid to go wot. not sure if it would hurt the engine.

Good Kill. You guys are harsh, 99 up 4.6's arent that bad w/ the right mods and driver... Especially compared to a Lt1

I had one on my red 96, Placed it right after the cat...Really didnt like it, the car sounded like a damn dump truck...Didnt notice any torque loss but a definate power increase

That's the problem, you should have placed it right before the I Pipe goes over the axle.

Thats where mne is, it sounds sweet as hell. Inside the car is sounds like a truck, but outside of the car its completely diffrent and sounds like real muscle. I think there is a power increase. I cant see you losing any power since you still have a y-pipe and cat to create some backpressure, but I am bad at judging SOTP gains. The cutout really helps pull uptop in the high rpms when there is all that exhaust needing to go somewhere.

We all also know that Antz chimes in everytime someone talks **** on the mustang ... hehe j/k. Usually your posts are entertaining.

If a 4.6 is modded right they can be wicked.

Stock for stock, their slightly slower than a LT1 car in good tune.

Mod for Mod, the LT1 car starts to shine

No replacement for displacement

I got burned up by one one time realy bad. I came off the line, pulled a car length, and by the top of second, begginging of third ( So like 75 ish ) He had me by at least 6 or 7 carlengths ...

Ended up being a Paxton under that hood, real cool kid though. It was 8 PSI on a otherwise stock car ( With an exhaust too I think ? But NOT headers )

yea the Lt1 might be slightly faster but after driving both cars(test drove a new 03 GT 5spd) the stang felt much more solid..Also I thought it had a better interior, plus w/ the right exhaust parts sounds ten times better then a fbody..Ill take a roasting or two from a LS1 and still be just fine w/ what I have...theres always someone faster.. we'll maybe not in tims case .I Like both cars equally, as far as fbodies go been there wore that tshirt...change is good.

Bah. Have you ever heard of the Grand National?

Antz97ZNJ

Yes as of late it seems like FI is the perfect replacement for displacment
