Re: NYM Track Rental Day at LVD - October 14th If the weather's right, I might go ...

Was there last year, nice mix of cars. Several Stangs were in attendance.

Thanks, Shelby Cobra guys! :)

LOL. Funny thing is, I'm older now but my new V6 is faster than all of the V8 Stangs I had in the 80's/90's. :D

Re: NYM Track Rental Day at LVD - October 14th I'd line up against you my lil 'ol V6 ... but I don't race multi-colored cars. ;)

if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ... lol seems "don't think" are the operative words here... In my original post, I was comparing not making any physical changes to my car and instead putting in an extra 25 cents a day to get +10hp. No matter how you cut it, that's an...

Then learn how to properly use punctuation marks/smileys so people know.:bigno: Most Gov't. sources indicate the average person drives 15k a year, not 20k. If you sell a car that has accrued 20k a year, KBB, Edmunds, etc. all make you take a hit on the vehicle's price. As far as a tune is...

Maybe a 120hp V6, but a 305hp V6? I bought my Stang for decent economy and decent power. :) Seeing how +10hp only costs me a quarter a day, I wouldn't spend my $$ any other way!

A physical change to my wallet is not a physical change to my car, so it has no bearing on my original comment. Regardless, your math is way off. I drive ~10,000 miles a year. At a combined city/highway of 24mpg, I'm using 417 gallons/year. If premium fuel is 25 cents/gallon more, then .25...

Yup! But basically, I don't want to physically alter my car. So I tried a Hypertech tune (see sig) and using the Premium Fuel tune it dropped my drag time a solid 1/4 sec. :) And that's without changing the rpm limit, shift limit, or shift firmness!

Well, 5-7whp = 8-10hp at the crank. And whether someone can feel that or not is besides the point. +10hp is +10hp. Don't people put on exhaust systems/cold air intakes/etc. that only give +10hp, but costs them hundreds of $$? Sure they do. And I can get that +10hp by simply putting in 93...

Greetings one and all!

Bama did a 93 vs. 87 octane test on an un-tuned 11 V6, and the premium gas made +5-7whp (starts at 2:31): For max hp, we should always use 93 octane. :thumbup:

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Heh all, Got an '11 V6 Stang in March (auto/2.73's). It's just a V6, but 305hp is pretty good for a bone stock 3.7 sixer. :) I've had it to the Valley three times so far (see sig). Met AdirondackGT there from this forum with his '10 GT. Saw him at the Metro show the other day, now he's got a...
