echo7 said:These tires on the v6 stangs are t rated, 118mph, right? why would ford allow you to go over the speed rating of tires, so they could get sued?
Jenns05Stang said:Echo,

MSP said:Good to see everyone still here!! I did not register right away after the big crash awhile back.. But I am back... Looks to be alot of V6 lovers like myself still holding down the fort..
In regards to this speed situation, I am not sure how fast I have been really.. Not at all that fast.. I dont actually drive my car that much.. I only have 600 miles on it.. This is my plan.. I will mostly enjoy fixing it up to look legendary.. LOL!! But I have not been beaten by anything as of yet.. The 2000+ Mustangs always challenge me on the freeway, and I beat them enough to call off the race for saftey concernes.. I will say, a really pumped up Saleen with an awsome exhaust really worried me.. I heard him coming before I could see what it was.. My left leg trimmbled for just a short 2nd.. But then I realized I have a V6.. LOL!! He will most likley praise the car for its courage...
Well, it happened.. He pulled in front of me, and stepped on it.. I was totally shocked to see that he could not pull from me!! LOL!! I mean, I never got in front of him, but he couldnt shake me.. I was so close to his bumper, that had he had hit his brakes, we would have been in the paper the next morning..
"Unidentifiable teeangers crash and Burn".. LOL!!! Slow it down guys, its not worth it!! LOL!! I am 34 years old..
Also, I have VR 255 series tires on all four corners!! I can go around the freeway on-ramp @ 60mph+..
echo7 said:Yeah, i followed a 98-2000ish saleen from a stop light, he didn't gun, and i kept up, but i wasn't flooring it either. He saw me and took off a little but i kept up, but by the time we got up to 90 it was time for me to turn off
echo7 said:are saleens even supercharged, or just dress ups?
Silver2003Cobra said:depends on which Saleen it is.. the older S351R was rated around 500 hp with a 351 Windsor and a supercharger.. the 04 S281e was rated 445 hp with a rebuilt 4.6 and supercharger..
a guy the other day put his S281 Supercharged ragtop on a dyno and made about 340 hp to the ground (it was just the GT engine with the supercharger on it, not built up like the S281e)
For the one gentleman saying that 2000+ Mustangs aren't any faster than him, if your in the Seattle area I'd be willing to go for it in my stock 03 Mustang.. it only hit 372 hp to the ground on a Dynojet...
echo7 said:I think i'm going to keep this v6 for 5 or so years and then when i get the money, go for a roush, saleen, or a cobra. Really like those cobras...
echo7 said:it seemed to just shift to 5th gear at like 110, and i dont know if theres still another ratio being overdrive, but there was alot of poetential. Brakes work good at that speed too, running out of room in that 45mph road...
