I'm new to this forum and I've been reading about how the pre 99 Mustang V6s had 150 HP and the 99 and newer mustang V6s had 190 HP. Is this true?? I just bought a 1998 Mustang V6 5 speed and was wandering how my car will stack up against Camaro V6s and newer Mustangs. thanks
what would a V6 Camaro do in the 1/4 mile?? also is their any way I can bring it up to the 99+ performance cheaply??? don't get me wrong I love the car to death I just kind of wish I would have gotten a 99 or newer
Torque gets you down the track, not horse power. 1998: 150 @ 4000 RPM 215 @ 2750 RPM 1999: 190 @ 5250 RPM 220 @ 2750 RPM
hey thanks that makes me feel a lot better how much torque do the Camaros have??? and do you think I'd have a chance against older or newer camaro V6s in a drag race?
As i have stated before i had a 95(non 5.0) and the thing was slow as hell. Stepped up to a 2000 and have yet to look back. the newer ones are so much better .I lve my car
The '96-02 base Camaro has the 3.8 200hp, 225lb-ft amd 3.42 gears. They are mid 15 sec. cars so stock for stock, a Camaro has you. If it's a 93-mid 95 Camaro, it has the much weaker 3.4 160 hp, 185lb-ft engine and I used to beat them all the time in my '96 3.8 5-speed. Afterward, I had 3.45s, CAI, true-duals and UD pulley and I stayed with a couple auto 96+ Camaros. Stock for stock though, a 96+ Camaro 3.8 is quicker and faster. Carlos
