the gt500 probably picks up more from an axle-back than an ls1 gets from a header-back(midpipe, mufflers)

Fret not brethren. This just means there will be a lot of butthurt V6 owners who thought their **** was fast until they tried runnin' one of those "old" F-bodies. I ran 12.9s with a $379.99 set of Pacesetters, 245mm Kumhos and 2.73s.
Nothing to worry about... Remember that we drive LSXs, not 2v GTs.

But realistically, how many V6 Stang owners are going to do exhaust/gears/tune...especially when there is a new V8 available. Most teenage girls are not interested in this kind of thing, nor will they even pick the manual trans. Regardless what it's capable of, a modded V6 Stang will be the exception, not the norm.

I've been a member of a V6 Mustang forum since 2002... first people I ever went to the 1/4 mile dragstrip with, and MANY of them have 11/12s cars. People will jump all over this, trust me.

A little Braveheart-esque sarcasm in my previous post, but really I don't feel we have anything to worry about. Maybe a box stock LS1 and a bolt-on V6, but not one that's had a little done to it. We are the new Foxbody and that, my friend, is not a bad thing.
I also frequent 3.8 and I've got to say, a good many of those guys have some nasty six bangers. Many more have something respectable. I don't think the majority of people on this forum realize the cult like following the V6 Mustang has, nor the potential of one when done right.

So you are telling me something with half the displacement picks up the same RWHP with headers on average?
Could a handful on a very happy dyno (which is what they always use on **** like that anyway), sure. But that is surely not the norm.
I don't know of any newer platform that picks as much Rwhp/tq up as the LsX platform does mod for mod. That is why it is still "top dog".

The V6 mustang looks o.k....I would'nt buy one though.
Its not that i dont like mustangs, I owned a 03 Cobra for about 5 months until i could'nt afford the payments and insurance. That gunmetal color is nice..
But I'm not to worried about getting beat by a V6 anyways..All you need to do is buy 1 choice mod every 2 years and you should be ahead of the game..

According Car and Driver, a 1980 Trans Am, with the top of the line motor offered, the 301 Turbo, tested new October 1979 covered the 1/4 at a blistering 16.7@86MPH, 60MPH was reached in just a little over 8 seconds. Now compare that to a car that came 22 years later, the then new 2002 V6 is faster. The '02 Firebird V6 made more power, faster, handled better, better fuel economy and the list goes on. Whats the point lost to most dumb asses on car forums, this isn't new, cars get better with time.

Sure there are plenty of Fbodies with shitty drivers, but you'll have the same average number of shitty drivers in the Mustang as well.
I'm impressed by the 2011 Mustangs. Give the Mustang 2 car lengths and it's a drivers race IMO.
