I'm gonna race a V6 3.8 mustang, it is a 98 and it is an auto. He says he doesn't have a rev limiter nor a governor, but that seems hard to believe.
I got a 2.4 auto.
What are the chances of me winning? and any simple quick mods i can do with in two weeks.

 

intake and learn to drive it well in u shouldnt have an issue... the v6 stang.. auto is slow as an anorexic constipated cheerleader tryin to ****

 

yeah, but do you think he still has his governor and rev limiter? i personally don't cause he doesn't seem to be mechanically smart or just smart in general.

 

air box mod, learn to launch (unless your doing a roll), maybe some weight reduction, B&M shift plus kit.

he could have had that removed via a tune but i highly doubt it. It wouldn't matter either way because its not give him anymore power.

 

you should be fine i have a 2.2L and was able to keep up with a 95 mustang v-6 and i only had an intake.

 

I beat a 96-97 mustang GT at the track in my 2.2L (mods in sig) on sunday THREE times (after the third time he left) so just get shift plus and you should have it.

 

alright, i ordered the B&M shift kit (i was gonna ordered regardless of this). Hopefully i can get enough money for the intake, i just don't know what intake i should get. if i win, i get a free tank of gas lol

 

just do the airbox bod if you can't get an intake.

 

If it's a '98 Auto, and he doesn't have some significant mods, you should win. A stock '98 auto is a mid-16 second car or often worse.

If it was a '99+ 5-speed, you'd have reason to be worried, but a '98 Auto shouldn't be too much trouble.

 

dude injen intake and a mufler took a second off my stock time.........do up injen CAI best money i ave spent and it sounds great

 

doesnt take alot of ingenuity to throw a shop a wad of cash...

As for the 2.4 5spd, you should have him.

a mildly bolton (intake/header/exhaust) mustang GT auto was running 15.5 (fastest)...

they arnt very fast.

 

My buddy has a 98 V6 auto stang and I beat him no problem. He has an intake, and exhaust. I am stock.

Like he said, they aren't as fast as they would like you to think

 

You'll be fine, I used to beat brand new Mustangs with my modded '95 Grand Am. 3.1L V6 (CAI, catback, new coil packs, spark plugs) It was embarrassing for those people.
