Yeah but it does weigh less and has more tourqe.

I love my v6 but I dont mind saying I still mite loose to a 10 gt altough not by much.So for a v6 to hang with a GT is a feat of its own

my post was strictly a comment about cars with 300hp only, and how recent they were "only" 300hp.

I don't think he put it in mind, that it truly isn't all about the power the car has, mostly how the driver drives the car.

See, V6 power that's better than late model V8 power.

I think it would be a closer race than people think.Just to say that a Camaro v6 of the same year as Mustang gt can even be compared is impresive

In my opinion they should keep making them, For some people out there they want a car that looks bad ass but also gets good gas mileage.

I'm glad GM, Ford and Chrylser don't share your opinion. If they did, then we would probably still be driving 160-190 HP pony cars. That would be boring. At your age you didn't live through the post gas crisis era like some of us. I can tell you from experience those weren't fun days. What brought us into the modern muscle age was a turbo V6 (Buick Grand National). It feed the thrist for power with decent MPG and got it all rolling again.

Your rite I mean not everybody buys there cars to go run 11s at the track!A lot of us buy them as DD and to most of us its a great car!I mean not everybody buys a truck because they need to pull a trailer full of things around all day am I rite? Some actually buy them because they want a nice DD
