Hey Greg555
I'll let you know the 1997 Dakota I own Has a MagV6 (and no it is not a quad). My Mustang is running Stock like my Dakota.
Bdawg
Premag has nothing to do with the Dakota loosing If both are running stock like mine are, Mag or Premag the Mustang will win everytime.

Here are some products and brands that go good with a mustang. BBK Performance Throttle Body. BBK Cold Air Systems. K and N Air Filters. C and L Mass Air Meters. Flowmaster and Borla Performance Dual Cat Back Exhaust Systems. For more go to www.brothersperformance.com they have everything.

actually the premag engines lacked in power
compared to the mag engines. the mag v-6 puts out
almost as much as a premag 5.2 v-8. 175 vs 190 so
yes there is a difference in power between mag and
premag. and ok its not a quad but what is it? a
4x4 with a towing package. see it seems to me your
just hiding somethin. so come on tell us excatly
what kind of Dak you got

I havent raced a 6 banger mustang in my Dakota yet but I did race one when I had my 3.0 ranger and beat it by about 2-3 car lengths, I mean I felt bad for the guy because thats suppossed to be a sports car. Im not talking junk because I actually come from a ford family and if I had it my way I would be driving a Lightning, but Im happy with my v6 Dakota. In my opinion its just usless putting naturally aspirated 6 cyl in a mustang or any sports car that size for that matter. Its a good looking car but thats not even half of the reason for having a sports car. Am I alone or this or what?

2001 v6 dak, are you sure the guy was racing. Those cars really shouldnt be that slow. My friend has a 3.0 Ranger and the 2 of us run about even.....I'm quicker.

ok see thats why your mustang takes your dak the
4x4 is heavier and there is more power loss
through the tanny.

well... i dont know if dupli-color makes that paint. It costs the same amount as any of the Truck/SUV line of paint. Go to www.dupli-color.com to see what colors they have... but not all colors are listed

well Greg i hope you get her to start. im holding off on any further mods for the moment. at the moment i am checking into getting a 2003 R/T. i am going to go thursday to the dealership to check out a fresh one on the lot. basicly the the only thing that will stop me from getting it is financial. but im hoping that i will come up okay in that department. well sorry for rambling just kinda excited.
