I love my car. It has plenty of power despite being the V6.

Hey cool, my town car has 210 horsepower also ... !

But it's got the same block that pushes 300 in the mustang. Oh well. I dream of dropping an '04 Cobra engine into my town car. That'd make things interesting as hell.

why did u get v6

 

[Viperoni]

Even though the Mustang V6 "only" makes 240ftlb, I bet the torque curve is a lot fatter from idle to the peak than an import's engine with lower displacement. But the import's engine can rev higher, so it would make up for it on the track.

Although I'm not a fan of a V6 in a mustang, they're still a bit faster than my car, so I can't talk too much 5h1t

As for the image, it doesn't have the fogs in the grill and only single exhaust. It is a "sporty car" though.

I would have gone with V8 myself, but still... nice choice.

V6 Rumbling? Who buys a V6 for the sound? V6s don't rumble, they sound decent with the right exhaust, but i've heard very few with a "rumble"

I'm a fan of specific cars/engines. Not of automakers. If you want to rumble, yes, buy an American V8. But your argument to buy a V6 "b/c its American muscle that rumbles" is pretty weak. You're a ford fanboy, so I can understand your bias, but dude... really... let me guess, you'd also say the 2jz-gte is a POS "b/c it doesn't rumble, its a crappy import motor"

:disgust:

I simply implied that they can do better with the V6 than they did.

:disgust: A high Liter DOHC rumbles, not as much as a V8 but on a downshift it is there.

And, I have nothing against import engines idiot, in fact the Toyota sourced lotus engines are great for their purpose, but you would have to be seriously inept in the mind to suggest a camry engine or the like is better in a mustang than the current one.

Ohh, gee... you've got all of 5 months on me, I'm sorry your highness, I should spend less time in the real world and more time in here so 'lifers' like yourself will respect my e-penis, err, i mean my post count. :roll:


Heres a good litmus test.

Can you concede that pound for pound, the camry's V6 is basically just as good as the ford V6?

Hey, at least they circled the problem!

What's with all the 6 cylinder hate? I hate the foglights on the V8 stang. I think the V6 grille looks much better.

The 2 Litre, 4 Cylinder engine in the Golf GTI puts out just a shade under at just above 200...

And the 2 litre, 4 Cylinder in This (Vauxhall Astra VXR) gives 240!

But back on topic, its a nice car and whilst the V8 would be ideal the V6 is a nice engine! Shame we dont get those over here

You guys are all obsessed about HP ...what about torque? The 4.0 L V6 puts out about 240 lb-ft of it. I highly doubt the golf or any other little 4 banger gets anywhere near that.

There is no replacement for displacement =).

I agree. That's a lot of torque right there and torque makes Dain a happy trout.

Because 210hp from a 4.0L V6 is akin to a pussy cat.

 

[jcuadrado]

dude don't listen to some of these people on the board...some are only here to rag on others to make themselves feel better.

That's a nice car. If you like it and you're happy with the payment terms/warranty/etc....then congratulations....enjoy your new car.

It sounds like a nice car. Please keep us posted on how it works out for you.

Oh yeah, ignore most of the replies you are getting here. From what I can tell, a lot of people on this forum confuse cars and how they define themselves.

As far as the image, I doubt anyone is going to screen the car for a GT badge and in absence of it tell me I'm driving a piece of ******.

Well, except for ATOT.

The average person won't. Actually, I'm sorry for being mean, I read on Car and Driver's comparisons that it is actually the fastest car in that price range. Here is the article.

You got a good price for it, and it's seems to haul ass. But, I still don't trust Ford's reliability after my mom's 2000 Ford Winstar minivan.

you're generalizing Ford's reliability based on your Mom's Winstar. Brilliant

Yeah there is, its called boost. Look at the Mustang Cobra for a fine example. SRT4, WRX, EVO for others.
