J30 VS V6 Mustang

[gangstar946]

ok..as some of you know i just bought a J bout a month ago. Turns out the timing belt was changed at 80k...everything else is good....i had alot of V6 mustangs pulling up to me when i bought it....but they didnt do anything...maybe to intimidate me. So...i thought id pull up to one.

After being in the garage for a while i thought i should do this one last thing before it rests in garage for the coming months.

I disabled the traction control...then went out. finally pulled up behind one..he looked over his mirror....and then took off when it was green( slight wheel spin)...but i wasnt intimidated this time...pulled right next to him the nex light. dropped it in 1.....2, 3, D. off we went.....he had me till 75....shifted to 3rd and the cams took care of everything. mustang was way back...my j was smooth as silk @ 120. good race!.....you guys should try it!...except for kbflip02...hes already got enough mods to race a GT.

Ive also noticed....a bunch of tt and v8 swaps on here...is anyone actually going to do it?!

I hate to say it, but IMHO, it doesn't take much to beat a V-6 Mustang. They weigh almost as much as a J30, but don't have the engine to pull it. BTW, what year Mustang was it? If it was '03 & below, then you were racing a 160ish HP car trying to pull around 3,5000 lbs. Not much of a race car.

BTW, I noticed that you put your tans in 1, then 2, & so on. You bump shift, too?? How does it affect the performance of the J?

[gangstar946]

it was a 2006 mustang 4.0 v6....you must be referring to 03 models...which have the 3.8 lawn mower...lol..raced one with my truck when i worked for UPS. shifting manually gives you little more torque and since i disabled the traction control the car feels free @ WOT (try at your own risk!)

check this video of a highly modified lexus i300 beating the crap outta these mustangs and camaros.

Bump shifting the J at WOT does not improve your speed/time. If anything, you run the risk of shifting too late and the car boucing off the rev limiter. That will slow you down.

If you shift too soon, no effect will be found as the automatic will continue to stay in the gear for as long as it possible can before shifting if you are WOT.

How does it have more torque? 1st gear is 1st gear, 2nd gear is 2nd, it doesn't matter if the transmission selects it or you do.

[gangstar946]

well...its deff faster than in D....i shift close enough to the rev limiter to get that jump...the feel of a manual trans. go try it...I own a 97 J30 which has a completely different ECU than all other years. i know its not good...but when morons start talking trash...well you gotta stroke your J's ego and yours a little bit....you understand what i mean?..lol

[Infinitiguy19]

1997 has a little fewer horses due to OBD2, I know the 1996 Q45 does.

the J30 is a luxury car a 300zt is a sports car a 240SX with a VH45DE (yea my Q45's motor) is a un-beatable beast.

Due some research before posting. and stop **** talking people who know more than you do.

Plus in the video he beats a CORVETTE, I think a corvette is a little faster than a Lexus.

Lexus Sucks

And some of those people didn't even look they were racing, Might just be the guys friend making him look goo on the internet.

[gangstar946]

i wasn't referring to anybody on here..k.

thats a 700rwhp is300 by the way...this one deff doesnt suck

The transmission shifts at the same point weither you do it or it does it unless you hold it too long. How is that giving more power? Do you have proof other than a "feel"?

Oh, that 06 Mustang is actually a FULL second quicker down the quarter mile than your J and if you beat him that bad after that, well, then he had already quit trying.

[gangstar946]

well...the mustang wan an automatic. i just thought i share my experience thats all. Im not ruling over anybody on here...so i dont why others are...im assuming you all own a J. so go and see for yourself. thats it. its a full second quicker so that automatically means every mustang will put down the same numbers right.

[Infinitiguy19]

Ok he has a 700 WHP TURBO car going against what stock car from what it look like.

Plus he didn't go against the vette which has about 700 RWHP.

He should have gone against a restored Q45 with race suspension, tires and brakes and then we will see, Because the Q sleeps under 100 MPH when you go above 100 MPH that's where it lives.

But that Lexus is over riced to me.

[gangstar946]

lol...well...i agree with you 100% on that. the q45 is truly a beast! too bad i dont own one.

I don't own a J (yet), just a Honda Civic. But I have raced V-6 Mustangs before, & trust me, it doesn't take much to keep up with them.

& not all '04-up Mustangs put down the same power numbers. HP numbers can change from dyno to dyno, plus it depends, too, on the car's overall condition. There are so many variables, I can't name them all on here...but it's worth looking into.
