Nope. V6 makes a little less power and a whole lot let tq. I could see it being a driver's race, but even that would be surprising to me. They're running high 13s while the 3v's are running mid-low 13s.

Still aint bad a freaking V6 Mustang with V8 Mustang Numbers...and thats the 3v Guys like me with the 2v mustang better watch out.
I have gotten that a few times as well. "Is that a 5.0". NO! Its a modular 4.6, and they proceed with "Oh, just a V6, huh?"

i dunno know about you guys but i would take a stock pi 2v car over a stock 3v car.... my 03 when stock felt alot faster than my fiances 07gt
I still disagree and think the 4.6 doesn't naturally rev, and in large part because of the bore to stroke ratio. There seems to be an NA limit of around 330rwhp with an EFI H/C/I combo on the 4.6L. There are plenty of H/C/I small blocks out there making 400+ rwhp naturally aspirated, and some upwards of 7-800hp in some lb/displacement racing classes.
In stock form, yes, the 4.6 is more ready to rev with larger ports and overhead cams, but the valve size is limited by the 3.55" bore. Not to mention, when you try to get more cubes from a 4.6, you end up with a stroke that is much longer than the bore. Good for low end torque, but it isn't going to move the air to make big power up top.
