Friend of mine has old v6 turbo GTA trans am that would put a beating on most v8 cars ever built.

All day? And don't we all have friends like that? Your advice in the thread with the ignition problem was the best so far. But reading thru it....Im not sure he is taking it.

To really sove this mystery you need to get to the track.I asked you before....is there a throttle controller hooked up to it? I haven't done that but people that have say the throttle response improves greatly.

After reading this thread I have learned one thing: The word "fast" is obviously relative to the driver..

If anyone thinks a 13 or 14 second car is "fast", regardless of the car, they should explore new possibilities. Just my $0.02

Your Camaro Brother card needs revoked.
Ever wonder why C5 isn't as popular as it once was?
Hint, they can Fartbook and not get trolled.

I think you missed the real point, you have a tendency to come off as a douche at times. If I'm not mistaking you were the first one with a negative comment towards the OP, which it typical of you.

All I know is I've driven both the 3.6L Camaro, 3.7L Mustang (S197) and 370Z. The 370Z is about the only V6 n/a powered car that I'd say is pretty quick for what it is. The Mustangs have ran quicker times than even my old car, how do you think that makes me feel? Lol

Cars can be fast 0-60 due to gearing and tires, but run out of horsepower at the top end of a quarter mile. They still feel fast when driven hard within the speed limit.

However, if life is a drag race then you need a 10 second car to be happy.

Any car might "feel fast" as you say, to someone who has never experienced what fast really is. I assure you these cars, unless modded very heavily, are far from being fast in the scheme of things. Like I said in my last post, "fast" is relative. Some 16 year old kid that just got his license who is driving a 92 Honda Civic might think his car is fast, but is it?.. No, its just all he has experience with.

Well your feelings are not a concern. My point and still is the v6 is a fine car but its not a mid 13 second car with a tune only. Your opinion.. like your comment doesn't offer any insight to the subject. You yourself posted that stock vs stock the V6 would give the V8 a good run at the track. That comment alone makes everything else you post on the subject irrelevant.

True.

How did this turn into a farting contest? O.o

152LTRockin · 04-20-2019, 08:02 PM

There is no point to this thread, the people who posted good things........good for you. Those that posted negative things...good for you.

I personally have no idea what any of you think is quick nor do I care if my idea of quick is your idea of quick.

I only posted because I was happy for such a beautiful car that runs like this that I'm that special in some ones eyes that I may drive it temporarily, like all things in life.

I seen a homeless person walk out before me as I was leaving a store last week. I walked to my beautiful Black 2LT fully loaded quick as the devil car. Homeless walked to the side of the parking lot and sat down in the grass holding everything they own in a sack.

I really don't care if my car doesn't impress any of you............I'm happy!

You're talking feelings, but I'm talking physics.

I think this place would be a colossal bore if we all had the same opinion and turned it into a mutual, butt-kiss fest. My 0.02.
