CORRECT..... now sally tell him what he's won!
ok so now being serious and not dellusional, the 1st gen V6s were shit. its the "vulcan" six from the taurus. wasnt great by any means.it's not the fall that hurts, its the sudden stop at the bottomComment

No they were not shit. They are very reliable long lasting motors and a 1st gen V6 5 speed is even faster than a 2nd gen GT 5 speed.Originally posted by 91GtFe View Post

Correct. And, all cars that used the KL series (93-97 MX6 LS, 92-94 MX3 GS, 93-02 626 ES, 95-02 Millenia) had VRIS.Originally posted by 90probe GL View PostLicensed car dealer & Probe addict [former owner of 17 Probe GT & 2 Probe SE]

agreed on the reliable part, very tough motors and any quirks they had were usually in the management somewhere...would have a hard time believing they would beat a 2g gt, as they are a much heavier motor and had relatively tall gears, but the one I had was surprisingly quick, but my finally healthy kl has so much broader a power curve...the 3.0 did have 230xxx miles on it though...Originally posted by FPGT24 View PostComment

i still think it was shit. yeah, great motor, but just not what i expected out of the car. a better choice of a motor could have been made.it's not the fall that hurts, its the sudden stop at the bottomComment

The 3.0 is definatly very reliable however not fast, I is almost a second slower to sixty than the gt's. Im sure with a few mods it could be just as fast, but as stated before, the gearing is slowing it down.1989 pgt: 13.6@111mph slow car
1990 pgt: fast carComment

No. Not at all. They aren't awful motors in terms of reliability, but they're WAY slower than a 2nd gen GT.

Im not making anything up. I'm speaking 0-60 wise, not 1/4 mile wise. recorded time for 1990 Ford Probe LX V6 MTX 0-60 mph is 8 seconds and for 1993 Ford Probe GT MTX is 7 seconds, not really much of a difference. Ive seen 1st gen LX V6 MTX take 2nd gen GT's in a race a couple times. All cars were stock too.Originally posted by 6hungryhippos View Posthe makes it up,

Probably because its the only Probe ever made with an actual Ford engine. Didnt the 1st gens use Mazda transmissions across the board though? I barely know anything bout the 1st gens (they dont really interest me).Originally posted by MonoxideChild View PostLicensed car dealer & Probe addict [former owner of 17 Probe GT & 2 Probe SE]
