    Well they do a 0-60 in about 8.5 sec and a quarter in 16.

    Considering my stock 318is can do 0-60 in 9 secs I think you would have it in the bag. Oh and a stock 318is dose a quarter in 16.2 sec

      The E30 is faster, there is NO question.

      Also, whoever owns and has modified a V6 Mustang is a tool.

        This.

        The only thing worse then a V6 Mustang is an automatic V6 Mustang.

        And the only thing worse then an automatic V6 Mustang is a modified automatic V6 Mustang.

        It's not a convertible too is it??? Because I can go on...

          The V6 Mustangs with 5 speed are kind of peppy! But not to for sure about an automatic. I'd say he probably would beat you or if not. It will be dead even and will be considered the slowest race in the world lol.

            this, I see this red convertible V6 and yes automatic driving around regularly, with a dude wearing big sunglasses white cap backwards and a neon colored shirt... at first I thought it was funny and just laughed.. but I'm considering putting my left-over TNT to use next time I see "it".

            And

            74k on fully rebuilt engine

              Depends on what brand short shifter do you have.

                            When I said 74k on a fully rebuilt engine. I meant 74k miles on the rebuilt engine
