sound's like you need a fuel system flush, some e plugs and new wires, tranny flush with a quart of lucas tranny treatment.a explorer express supercharger will give u better gas mileage (about 2 to 3 miles to the gallon) but it's very expensive but u'll see 315 to 330 hp lol. but as with any car that get's up there in mileage you do lose gas economy as things begin to show wear.
I like going to cruise nights but ive stopped entering mine into shows- since Im not afraid to drive it, it has no chance at judged points shows, and since its a V6 (albeit with a shitton of mods), Ive been beaten by stock GTs. Might be better parking, but I dont see spending 20 bucks on some stickers and good parking.
i'll never give up showing my pony at show's. I am well aware of not taking any trophies at a show, but this care is my envision of what i see in the car. is it the right view? is a wrong view? that is all up for debate but never give up cause someone else don't think worth a trophy! i won a trophy at the fingerlakes history on wheels out of 300 cars and only 25 trophies for top custom, it can be done. i take this thought about it all, i sat down with a graphic shop choose what i wanted how a wanted it design of it colors i wanted and applied them myself. so some call them stickers, and i say to them since when do you spend $100 to $200 bucks on sticker? the shock look on their face like are you nuts!!! and i laugh and walk away. i made the car to my specs not their's be proud of what you have cause i can say that for what you have in your car now is still less than what a base GT cost! and remember , shelby did a suped up V6 version of the S195 lol
.I have taken my 01 to a few cruises and shows and everyone asked me if it was a gt but it was a v6. My current car will be taken to cruises and shows y cause i love cruising and shows. I don't care if i win cause i love cars and love seeing other cars. Plus people love seeing v6 mustangs cause they are not widely seen around my area where most people here buy gt's or higher. That is my take on v6's. Four banger is not a stang in my book. More like a pimped escort to me. Put a 5.0 in it and wahoo now your talking.
I have never been turned away from anything, but if I had than no big deal it's just a car show and IMO nothing to get myself all worked up over. By the same token when I enter a car show i just go rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble so that my car sounds like a V8 so the people either think I have a V8 under the hood or I am just retarded so maybe thats why I have never been turned away.
with 32 replies, im not reading this whole thread...
but as the title suggests someone is ?? asking about showing or having a v6 at shows.
yeah i show my car .... but car shows are about the possible charity, the cruise to the show, making memories with your friends, meeting new friends .... and the plastic to go home and show my kid is a bonus.
best part for me is the morning meet and the cruise there.
having a v6, straight 6, inline 6 or a 4 banger should have no relevance.

.Larquitte. Never be afraid of going to a car show. Will might surprised and even place. Any mustang is worthy of showing. You will meet great people and see great cars. Everybody there would be more then happy to give you advice on how to improve your car or tips they have learned over the years. My show was in goshen NY. When I entered the show I was nervous but soon my car atracted some attention and my show career took off. If asked about my car or where I got a certain part I always give a honest answer. The best advice I can you is clean and wax your car then clean and wax it again.... cleanliness is paramount.... Good luck and of you see ,y stang come up and strike up a conversation. AIDENSHEP
