Now, when you mod the LSx motor with forced induction, well that changes things. Much respect for the LS family at that point.
I'd vote on the turbo'd V6 as a braggin' rights project. Been there, done that.

I don't need to Google anything, I'm well aware of what a Grand National is and what they are capable of running. See, I was actually old enough to legally drive when those cars first hit the showrooms/streets and remember well the 5.0 Mustang/GN shootouts that sprung up soon thereafter.
What I said still holds true. The fast V6 cars do NOT run 87/89 octane pump gas. Sure, they CAN run on it, but not without an alcohol assist at higher boost levels.
