The only reason he would pull from me was the slush box, off the honks he would get me cause he could be in gear, then id catch up, then he'd shift get a half a car then i'd shift catch up a bit but I was behind already so no way I was gona catch up or pass him, then he'd shift again and pull another half a car or car then repeat. Now when we got to about 105-115 all he saw was me about a car length and a half back just start to pull up on him like nothing lol, mustangs are not 100+ cars.

You're looking at like ~280 hp at the wheels, so basically, you'd fair well against most of the four bangers. As for the cars in the V6 class, I'd say that you'd do fairly well, if the car is older then yours, you'd probably win 2 out of 3 times, the only problem would be like the BMWs and Mercedes. As for the V8 cars you'd probably beat the ones they made before 2000, but not the newer V8's, they'd be out of your power class with equal mods. So mostly you're just trying to figure out what cars in the V6 class you can outrun, like maybe a G35, or an Accord or something, Supras, and Z's wouldn't be a problem either unless they have turbo and mods. Take your car to the track after giving it a good tune up, and see what kind of times you get, you should be looking to get a 13.1-13.4 quarter mile time if all is running smooth and this puts you ahead of stock 2000+GT's in a V6. Basically try to get to the track and hit a 12 (radials, weight reduction, tune up, whatever it takes).

I'd honestly say that is highly under estimating the car, Iv raced is 300's beat em, Lexus sc 400 beat em, 2003 mustang gt with full exhaust intake and a slight tune, beat em 2006 BMW 330i I pulled on him till about 110 then the beamer top end gets you. The 2008 gt I raced only had a car and a half on me and I honesty believe that because he was stick and i'm auto. Haven't raced any Z's or G's and the only thing I have done to my car is intake and a 3" catback. With as modded as he is, its probably safe to say 85% of Na v6s are his most older and newer v8s till about 2007-8 and turbo four cylinders like sti's you wouldn't have a hard time keeping up with if not pulling on. And when I say v8s i mean mustang gts, base chargers and other various stuff, don't dream about gt 500 or srt8 or most SS newer v8s.

Highly unlikely with intake/headers/exhaust on an 03 to dyno @ 280hp

I'd say 230 to 250hp at the most.

I didn't mean to the wheels, i'd say maybe 250-260 to the wheels if everything is tuned right. THe VQ responds well to bolt ons, even maybe 280, but most likely only like 250 to the wheels.
