Hey upshift...
 
... your vagina is showing.







Seriously... you're giving up sportbikes to mod your V6 mustang????

How can a sportbike not 'do it for you anymore'?? Get that 250 back, buy a 1piece suit, and do a track day. Then thank me.

Im not gonna lie, CEOs got a point. I dont mind my sixxer mustang but I also use it just for commuting where I wont put money in it. Itll never be as fast or handle as well as my very tame 600 bike, let alone when I get something newer.

Don't forget the tires noob.

But yes :withstupid: , still say it's nothing but a waste of money you'll never get back to mod a sixer.

Don't you have to do that in your car too? Nevermind, you run over sitting objects.

I have a V6 mustang too. I realize its slow as balls and always will be unless I turbo it. You should do the same.

Oh yeah, when you buy your bike back, make sure your balls are still against the tank where you left them.

upshift 07-01-2008 11:18 PM

Yeah I dont know what it was but whatever it was it scared the shit outta me. Maybe I shouldnt have been riding with a smoked facesheild or something but dont go giving me shit just cus it wasnt my thing. I was trying to be cool and give it to you guys straight up instead of making it sound like I just gave up. You would have called me a pussy then too if I did that. If you all want to know the real truth? Fine, at this point in time I DO NOT CARE FOR SPORTBIKES AT ALL and my next outlet of entertainment is my car. Shit it doesnt mean that it scared me shitless and, to bash myself a little, I shouldn't have been wearing the facesheild I was at 9 oclock at night. And for those telling me not to mod my sixxer well I am. Im 18 fucking years old and I cant afford a GT or the gas for one so I am turning to my car. For those who dont know I payed for 100% of my car. Bought it brand new off the lot and I sure as hell dont want to put it to waste as just a daily driver. Plus, if you want to bitch at me for selling it even after that, then come pay my tuition so I can keep the damn bike. I am having to pay for everything, my car, my college, my books, my phone, my insurance, my dirtbike, so i needed a little extra cash and that extra cash just happened to be sitting in my garage. So anyone who is calling me a vag or whatever the hell else fuck off Im not taking this shit.

What'd you have a scary moment on your bike or something? That steering you away?

Crazy 07-01-2008 11:25 PM

1st off, you're taking these guys way too seriously... no need to bitch

but If you arent confident on a sportbike and got scared, well its better you figure it out now than when its too late.

I don't know what happened, but I will throw in that if you did do a track day, you may have found a new love of sportbikes, but whatever. You're only 18. That's plenty of time to get one later. Shit, I started when I was 24.

Crazy 07-01-2008 11:30 PM

seriously theres no need to rush something like sportbikes if you're not into it. do it slow or put it off til u can afford a bike or decide not to ride

anyways from what i understand he was on the highway and got scared and couldn't go above 45mph or something.

Gas Man 07-02-2008 08:17 AM

I don't know all the inner workings on this crap.

But heed this warning Upshift. Be carefull moddin your daily driver, no matter what it is, cause that daily driver needs to be bullet proof. That vechicle is what you need to get money to work to be able to mod the "hobby car".

Shift 07-02-2008 01:07 PM

Not trying to bust your balls here but you said you can't afford a GT but in the other thread you say your going to supercharge your sixer. Trust me I have a 99 GT with a procharger on it and in the end it would be A LOT cheaper to sell the 6 and buy a GT rather then but a s/c or turbo + supporting mods for the 6. And sure you can do minor mods like full exhaust, upd's, gears, hand held tuner, cai, intake and plenum, but even in the end just that is gonna cost you a couple grand for maybe 30 rwhp. So you spend all that money and your still only going to be what a low 14 second car? (w/o a s/c that it.) From the sounds of it I'd just save your money for school.

I think you're getting a little too worked up here... I'm just busting balls a bit... as well as trying to help you.

You don't have to take my advice... but my opinion is this:

1. Get back on the bike, and ride it. You WILL love it. I guarantee. So you had a scare moment... it happens (to all of us). Learn from it.

2. Your V6 mustang mod plan is a true waste of money... if you REALLY want to go with the car-modding route, take the money you're planning on pouring into the six and save it as you go, then buy a GT. Modding an american six is an extremely fiscally inefficient decision...

3. Don't get worked up when people question your decisions, especially since you're so young... they're mostly trying to help you.

UNTRUE.... ever hear of a Buick Grand National... they are capable of 11 second quarter mile times with bolt ons. Believe it or not there are quite a bit of performance parts available for the mustang and camaro V6's and there are many built to run in the 11's. Anything can be built to be fast all it takes is money.

Well duh. But theres more efficient ways of getting there. The OHV motors the v6 ford cars use is crap, the block is good for a decent amount of hp but gl getting there without a serious investment. The old 2v v8 in the previous generation mustang is shit to as the motor CANNOT breath. The current gen 3v SOHC is not bad at all in the current GT and responds very nicely to bolt ons, unlike the sixer. However fords best motor is still the 4v DOHC found in the 03-04 cobra and Mach 1. Bottom line is if your on a budget a stock 4.0 liter ohv 15 second car is not the motor/car to start with.

EDIT: And btw there are no v6 mustangs or camaros in the 11's with some type of F/I PLUS some serious suspension mods, usually requiring 10k+ investment + the price of the car.

Dnyce 07-02-2008 04:14 PM

11's is still slow as fuck.

Not for a street legal car it's not. Especially if you can pull it off with a DD without massive weight reduction.

The grand national is an exception because those motors were built to be turboed... i.e. the GNX Grand National.

And yes, you can do ANYTHING with enough money... the point is does it make sense? Modding the shit out of a v6 mustang doesn't... that's the point.

strictly racing speaking-11's is slow as fuck. car, bike, whatever. cant argue with that.

if you wana race your street car, bracket race. save your moddin money, who cares how fast you go.

u wana go fast 4 cheap, buy a bike. you wana go really fuckin fast, build a race car or bike. cheaper than u think, especially the bike

He doesn't have that kind of money. A turbo is going to cost him 6k easy by the time he's done. If he's complaining about not being able to afford gas if he had a GT he doesn't even need to be thinking about F/I for his car.

Dnyce 07-02-2008 05:03 PM

that does kinda throw me-cant afford gas for a gt, so wants to mod the hell out of a 6.....


:idk:

id say save your money. its not the last car you are gonna own. just treat it good so when u sell it you get most of your money back.

Yeah I have a very short fuse when it comes to people trying to start crap with me. I went all thru elem and middle school getting stuff said to/about me and Ive got to the point where I dont take it from anyone anymore cus I dont know if they are kidding. If i sounded harsh, well, I meant it but just cus i thought u were serious. :sorry: man I know u guys are trying to help but Im going thru bike withdrawals right now. I think I finally figured out it was the face shield that caused me to freak out cus I couldnt really see the lines on the road. Also, it would help if I could actually ride it without getting a sermon from my mom on how I shouldt be on the roads. If it wasnt for that Id be out looking for an older 600 or 650. Right now it doesnt seem worth the time or money to get one. She promised that at 21 she wouldnt say anything if I got one and by then the car will be paid off too, so Im using logic.

Im not looking to run 11's or even 13's, just to get a little more hp to the wheels. In the other thread I was just making the point that I could get some pretty good #'s with a supercharger or turbo, but eventually I will end up supercharging it if I don't get a GT first.

Answered part of your question in the post(s) above. And mine is a 2007 V6, not an older model which you all may be thinking of. Even tho there is no real difference, Im just wanting a car that has a respectable amount of torque and looks good too. And yes it is possible to get a sixxer into the 11's, one of the guys on the mustang forum is running high 11's. Its just the will to have that much hp and the will to spend that much money which I have neither.

PiZdETS 07-02-2008 11:54 PM

I just had the greatest idea EVAR.
Keep your v6 mustang stock, dont touch it at all, it's a daily driver and it's a big fat heavy car which will never be as quick/fast/responsive as your bike.
Turn your bike into...a track bike. You'll never have to worry about your visor being too dark because you wont be riding in the dark, you dont have to worry about traffic, your mom will worry less when you explain the safey measures and lack of crazy car drivers, you'll become a waaaaay better rider, have shitloads of fun you never thought possible, all while still riding your bike and have a sweet mustang you can afford.

Trust me dude, I just solved your problem.

Not a bad idea but I've alredy considered that and threw it out. The nearest track is like 2 hours away and the start up cost would be insane (tires, gas, etc.) And I don't have the $$ right now to do that. Plus if I could afford it it would interfere with my work and school schedule.

And if I wasn't on my BB I would steal that for my sig OSP :rofl:

should have just popped up the faceshield. I got back home last night around 8 and wanted to ride so I just left w/o switching to the clear shield. as long as there arent too many bugs you're probably more safe with the shield up so u can see better.

Not true he can look for used turbo on the world wide web and probably pick up a used turbos for a couple hundred bucks. With a little research Id say he could turbo charge that car for under a grand.

Bs. For a couple hundred that turbo is probly a beat up pos. Even if he can get a nice turbo for around a grand, I highly doubt he has the skills to custom fab the piping. Oh and did you forget about the fuel system? Surely you don't think those stock injectors can pump out the fuel he's going to need. So theres another couple hundred. He's going o spend AT LEAST 500 on a dyno getting it tuned so it doesn't run mad lean/rich. Intercooler maybe, waste gate, theres a lot more to it if u want to do it right then just buying a cheap ass turbo off ebay and thinking you can just slap it on your car. I say even if he goes used AND can install everything himself hes going to spend over 2 grand easy.

That sounds pretty accurate when it comes to a turbo for a Mustang. He could possibly go supercharger for a little bit less just from the abundance of parts available to supercharge a stang, but itd still be probably at least 1500.

the abundance of parts is for the 5.0 or the 4.6L mustangs I dont think there is a lot for the 6 cyl mustangs.

Oh and did you forget about the fuel system? Surely you don't think those stock injectors can pump out the fuel he's going to need. So theres another couple hundred. He's going o spend AT LEAST 500 on a dyno getting it tuned so it doesn't run mad lean/rich. Intercooler maybe, waste gate, theres a lot more to it if u want to do it right then just buying a cheap ass turbo off ebay and thinking you can just slap it on your car. I say even if he goes used AND can install everything himself hes going to spend over 2 grand easy.

I said buy a cheap used turbo... one that maybe needs rebuilding.

Regardless a turbo alone isn't going to do this v6 much. Don't forget he has a one wheel wonder as well until he puts a t-loc in his rear end. So thats another 200-500 depending on his mechanical skills. In the end tho no matter which side your on its still a losing battle. Think about it, trying to build a budget turbo on a daily driver without having money set aside to go with a forge motor in case you pop your stock one is just not a vise investment at all

Theres a decent supply of v6 parts that can be found as well, just not as many as for the 5.0 and 4.6

I give up.... Was just trying to help.

You'll be back, trust me. And you'll take a HUGE hit on that modded v6 when you sell it to buy a track bike...
