Kinda unclear what it is you are spending money on....an exhaust or a motor?? If you pay $1000 for an exhaust, I have a better idea.....give ME the $1000, I'll kick you in the nuts, and we'll call it even. Either way you'll have the same outcome :D

The link you mentioned is about $2k. Why not just get a V8? Spend a little more, you will have the same HP, but WAYYY more potential.

Just my .02. Maybe I misunderstood what you are trying to do.
V8 is much harder and more expensive drop for close to the same hp. And a fully forged engine vs a stock engine.

Because it'll cost you more in the long run...

yeah like green said.. the motor will be built and ready for anything you have to throw at it.. the v8 will take alot more to get to that stage

for a little more you get an engine that with out forged internals...which the 4.2L engine will have....you wont break much past 400 with out blowin the engine...this engine will let me go much past 400hp.

so your gt engine-$2,500
you need headers and an exhaust for it...$500-$1000
new speedo, and a speedcal to recalibrate the speedo- thats a couple more hundred
forged internals for reaching this potiential...-$2k!
install for internals-$1k.


yea so me...i think i'll spend the extra $3,000+ for tuning the engine, 8.8 rear end
more performance parts oh...and i'll be kicking the other v6 guy who bought the v8s ASS because he didnt have the money for mods like me


but yea...deffinitly swap the v8 right?...wrong
 
itschristorres8 said:
not only that...but this engine also has ALOT of potiential too.

plus since you own a v8 im pretty sure you losing to a guy with this engine modded...would set your lil v8 ppride level down to 0 when you find out its a 6er
funny thing about people with gts that talk **** on sixers is you can always look at them and be like.. ok since your hot **** where is your mach1 or cobra.. if you dont got one you aint **** so shut up =]
 
itschristorres8 said:
exactly.....dont tell us to get a v8 if your drivin a GT so that you can have a v8 and be badass....
why didnt you get a terminator
same reason I DONT want a v8.

not now anyway maybe my third mustang
i have never had a termy driver or mach1 driver run their mouths its always GTs and they cant do **** to anything except for v6 stangs.. camaro z28 and up got them stomped.. every TA has them stomped.. i mean i cant think of every v8 car right now but pretty much every bottum line v8 for other car companys beats the GT so idk why they talk so much about v6s.. i say go buy a mach 1 or cobra lol
 
I have a trans am for those gt owners who cant keep their mouth shut (it was my dads but my mom made him quit driving it, so he gave it to me :D )

Anyway yeah the whole GT swap into a 6 is more of a waste than anything.
 
its actually sad the comparision between GT's vs the competitors like z28s and TA's...but its funny how the v6 mustang can stomp the v6 camaro and firebird huh?! lol

but z28 has always beatin mustang year for year. the 03-04 cobras were badass though, they can beat the 02 z28s but the 2000 cobra vs 2000 z28...the z28 wins as for MANY years,....01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96

the sn95 cobras were NOT impressive IMO...14s....for the top of the line mustang next to saleen which also ran 14s...ugly

trans am is like the king of power.. it truely is.. if it had a roots style blower it would kill cobras >.< i am sad to say it as a stang owner but i meant TAs are amazingly fast.

too bad they are ugly lol mustangs look best of all the pony cars imo
