haha that **** had me laughing so hard.

 

If I were to buy a Mustang, I would definitely opt for the V8 5.0 5spd manual. Having a muscle car means having muscle and even though the 3.7 has got some, it just doesnt seem right in my mind. Just imagine how the 4.6L 3V guys feel right now, lol!
Also, how many V8 cars can our LS4's actually beat in a drag race? We can beat most 4's and 6's easily. Keep an eye on this new engine. Somebody will do the SHO swap real soon.. Maybe even Ford.
New cars are getting quicker and quicker . My car is too!

 

The 6 Banger Stanger is priced to sell. It would be perfect with the foglights....I'd consider one since the V8 is upwards of $40,000.

I am all about the live axle aswell.

 

In my opinion, I don't judge just by the number of cylinders. Obviously, a V8 is preferred. If a car is a performer with V6, kudos to it. I don't see anything negative about it. Just like 350Z's running mid 13's stock with a 3.5L V6. If it performs, it really doesn't matter how many cylinders.

 

^^ This

 

That is crazy though for the 11 6cyl to beat the stock 09 gt's. lol

 

thats the thing tho, "us" that wouldnt buy a V6 mustang/camaro etc, arent bashing the car or judging it, we just wouldnt own/purchase one

 

how are u going to compare 1. foriegn and american 2. v6 and a v8? its not about v6 vs v8..its the point of having a v6 mustang. i wouldnt mind owning a 350z..but i wouldnt get the cheapest model just to save gas...a 350z is not a american muscle car so a v6 is coo...i guess a 2013 v6 trans-am tht runs 13.6 is cool cause thts fast for a v6? NO! no point in owning a muscle car and its not a v8...a v6 mustang is nothing to brag about at a classic car show.. lol.. how many older guys 40's-50's-60's who buy new mustangs actually get a v6, not many..especially considering most loved the 5.0 fox body. if u some of u guys go out and get a 2011 v6 mustang, im happy for u, they're quick.....just think about wat your doing..your driving a non sports car daily driver with a v8 but u want a real sports car daily driver with a v6.....ahhhh

 

No need to get your panties in a bunch. My point is it doesn't matter the number of cylinders it has, as long as it performs. The '11 V6 Mustang performs just as well as the previous 3V 4.6L V8 Mustang. What's wrong with that? It's not a Vette, it's a Mustang.

Look at the Fbodies and previous Mustangs. The V6's were always pure dog ****. Now the Camaro V6 and Mustang V6's perform well. They will sell more than the V8's, might as well get 'em to be performers - that they now are.

 

if im buying a mustang or camaro or challenger or even charger it HAS to be a v8. the only reason to buy a v6 is so you can cruise around saying check out my ****, but then you get on it an theres that v6 sound, that could never replace a v8. sure they might be quick, but to people that are real fanatics they will never buy a v6. pointless argument. v6 is for posers, v8 is for someone that actually appreciates the car.

 

i think thats the problem. it is like the vette in the sense that its an iconic muscle car. i wouldnt want a v6 version just because it performs. dont get me wrong the car is quick for what it is. i just think it takes away from what the car is supposed to be. granted it is quicker than last years v8 model, but its the whole principal of owning a v6 mustang. i dont know about the rest of you guys but whenever i see some guy driving a v6 model camaro, mustang, charger, or challenger i always think the same thing in my head, and thats what a total homo. if they had one that ran flat 13s with an electric motor in it i still wouldnt want it. its the principal thats all.

 

pretty sure. i dont think the ls4 is working hard to make the 300 horse at the crank. and my point behind no replacement for displacement is that i would rather have a 325cid motor making 300hp not working hard than have 225cid motor making 300hp. i hate to assume cause you know what happens when we do that but i have to assume that the smaller motor is going to have to work harder to do it, not make as much torque, and probably make the power at a higher less usable rpm. just my thoughts i very well could be wrong.

 

i think we are talking way too much about this mustang

 

Do those LS1 guys have a tune?
4.6L V8 didn't make 260 HP, try 300 HP.
True.

 

Just the way the Ford executives planed it.

 

My Son's 2000 Camaro SS 6 speed gets 28-30mpg on the hwy and it has the factory tune. The double overdrive tranny is awesome for hwy trips.

 

true story, my vette routinely got 30 mpg on the freeway with a 2.73 gear and automatic. That and it practically drove itself to high 12 second quarter mile times, with an intake, catback and tune.

 

I get what you're saying. But we're talking about Mustangs, which even had four cylinders before.

I'm with you, when I see a V6 Stang/Challenger/Charger/Older Camaro I'm total thumbs down. But now that the Camaro and Mustang V6's come around I have more respect as they are now respectable even with V6's.

Would I buy one, absolutely not. But I don't look down for having the V6.

 

How much Torque is the 6 putting out? Looks like they got us from a stop but I have a feeling that runs on the highway at around 60 MPH will end in our favor... at those speeds these LS4's are prlly putting out a lot more TQ and HP.

 

i think hes reffering to the 2v GTs that were trying to compete against the ls1 car of the day. they were 260hp. they didnt get the 3v till 2005 and by then the camaro and firebird had gone the way of the dinosaur.

im glad were sort of in agreement. yeah the power rating and performance of the v6 cars is impressive except for the challenger, but i still wouldnt get one.
