I should have said, dont **** away all your money trying to make a v6 fast. Making it better is awesome, no different then any other vehicle, hence the have pride in your ride. Hell if you can make one hang with a v8 great, but why spend all that money? buy a v8. The op just strikes me as the type of guy that goes around looking for races and there is always an excuse as why they didnt win.

I was also drunk on monster and vodka when i posted last night. Wife was babysitting our neice and the kids were asleep. brought back memories of a guy that put 4:10s in his 4 cylinder ranger and was shocked when it still wasnt fast or quick.

Hello.

Gotta hand it to the codger - he does supply some true gems.

Here is one that succinctly summarizes this thread:

actually i dont know if that is true. i have seen that too and i have also seen 210 for one year but i cant find anything that changed within the 97-05 4.2L to account for that increase and decrease. if anyone can find info, please supply it. id like to see why the rating went up and down between years.
