The new 05 six has a higher HP rating than the 93 Fox 5.0L...
Not as much torque, don't expect near the same performance.
power to weight ratio is a bigger factor:)Quote:

I get shit for driving a six but when the light turns green and my little 6 automatic graps secound and barks the tires i have been getting a little respect from gt owners because they cant belive that a little 6's is doing that
I must say that I haded having my v6 when I first got it but now I love the car lower insurance, better gas mileage, and fun to play in. Plus I've been to alot of mustang shows in the past few years and v6 in the newer class normally win the mild class shows because we love mustangs and keep them up better.
I put my six in shows even though it is a "girl car" I always laugh about that one. I am putting down about 220 BHP now with a few decent bolt-ons and just picked up a gen 2 Eaton M90. I should be smokin GT's in no time. Lookin to run about 5 PSI nothin crazy. AND THEN I have my 4.6L cobra 4V on the stand back home haven't had a chance to go get it but I will soon. It is just a pain finding all th related parts to make it fit/run.
No, area under the torque curve is a bigger factor. And yeah, weight too, but a couple hundred pounds isn't as significant as the 5.0L torque at 2500rpm vs. the V6 torque at 2500rpm.Quote:

In fact alot of people really don't know much about Mustangs so when they see my car, they don't say , oh its a 6 eh. They are like. WOW a Mustang. Only the GT and up people seem to say "oh my you lost 2 cylinders"
What many people seem to forget is that the 3.8 99+ Stangs have more power then many of the v8s in the earlier years. But whatever. I love it and eventually will do some modding to get at least 300HP so I can have a sleeper.
Obviously you dont live in my town in Ohio LOLQuote:

I don't know about you but all the crap I get for owning a v6 comes from GT owners. Cobra owners will give me compliments on my car but the GT owners tell me I need a new engine :(
There will always be a faster car no matter how many cylinders you have....I'm going through a 2.3 to 5.0 overhall to just get from 105 HP to 225 HP...now; the new v6's are comming with more and more HP...
The problem is still this. The six cylinder cars have cheaper parts - rear end, suspension, tranny, ect. When you see a 2005 six cylinder you think. Wow, nice parts car. When I go to the junk yard to check out the Fox body cars all you see are 2.3 liter parts cars. Maybe the O5's are different. Sure they have more HP, but it's still the weaker model. I'll take a SN95 or Fox body V8 before I want a V6 2005.
If it was vette, a Camaro, Firebird, etc. it's the same thing. Down the road, it's a nice parts car.
No gripes or pokes at those driving the beautiful sixers here on GotStang.com. My wife is interested in a yellow V6 94 to 04 Mustang. She'll probably get it too. They are nice looking cars, but they are not the V8 you expect in a muscle car. I don't use my car at the track, or for road rally's. It's just a daily driver that sounds great and the V8 power is there if I want it.
I love it when someone ask me when I plan on dropping in a V8. My response is always "didn't know I needed one!" I love the GT's that just have to have the "get off the line first Gears" i.e. 3:73 or 4:10's. With the gears I'm running I can take em on the highway and that really pisses em off! My 6r is lighter and cheaper on gas and insurance then the V8's and I can still make it put out over 500hp, with mods of course.
Yeah, about 100 lbs lighter. lolQuote:

A machanic makes fun of me all the time, but (nothing against 4cyl. stangs) his mustang w/ one side pipe sounds more like my snow blower and he says that his sounds better than mine :looney: . Everyone tells me he wants to race, but when I asked him to line up or shut up he says he'll race only with his mom's V6 Jeep liberty :lol: . He thinks its so cool. But I like my car no matter what. I was on my way home from a carshow and raced a '78 Camaro Z28(we thought I would get spanked, no traffic so we raced anyway), we stayed door to door 55-105mph and that was w/exhaust only:lol: ,he couldnt believe it. I love my car 'cause its a 'stang and thats what matters most :devil: .
Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about!!! Don't ever give up, no matter what's under their hood. What I tell them when they ask "when am I planning on dropping a V8 in" is "that I didn't know I needed one"!!!Quote:

Its the way Most of us can all get together and hang out and noone gives a shit what engine or year you have. I personnally would NEVER buy a 6 cylinder anything, Mustang included. I just wish Ford would have put a lil more power into them for you guys. For christ sakes i literally smoked the ever loving shit outta one the other day with my 97 F-350 4 Door 8 Ft bed 4X4 All I have done to it was put the Edge Evolution kit on it cause the wifey drives it most of the time. It does have the 7.3 turbo diesel though but my god this truck is heavy. Not good in the mud either lol. All I have to say is if someone has a problem with you just because your Stang only has a 6 then that person is an idiot. Now if your talking shit about winning a race 6 v/s 8 and you lose then its you that looks like an idiot. I have had a few people that I used to hang out with that kinda ignored me when we was ALL hanging out back when I had my 86 5.0 (The only older one of the bunch) But that bitch would pull the wheels off the ground. They didnt like it when I finally got pissed off and showed them how slow they were. So even if ya get an 8 there's always those haters out there that thinks one way is so much better than another. To put it bluntly if they dont like F#@% Em. I hope this lets all ya'll Know how I feel bout that :devil: :ranting: Oh and this :nos: does numbers for being slow lol
Well, even though I'm REALLY late on this..
A classmate of mine just came up to me and said "So, why do you think your Mustang is fast?" and I simply replied "Well, it's a Mustang."
Then he proceeded to tell me that my Mustang was NOTHING unless it was a v8. So, I asked him why he has 32 inch wheels on his truck when he does nothing except drive under the speed limit..
Link him to the TT 6 running 10s
Yeah and if that's not enough then link him to www.supersix.com!! That's all motor.Quote:

There's this guy at my fiance's work that drives a rusted-out Probe. My fiance just bought This:

[I know it's a Honda.. He leaves business of Mustangs to me.]
Which has an 96 Integra engine/transmission, and Integra TypeR suspension. This jack-off has already started talking crap about Brenden's Honda, and has now even started provoking me with the "My Probe could beat your Mustang." crap.
He's already challenged my fiance to race, and he's asked me. I told him that I leave the lightweight crap to my fiance and to come back when he's got a car worth the gas money he puts into it.
Hell Yeah, Get em NAY!!!
There are always degrees of separation. V8, V6, Carb & fuel injection, Fox Body, Late Mode SN95's which breaks into the 94 to 98 group and the 99 to 04 folks.
I am constantly hit with other mustangs around town letting me hear their engines when they go by or pull along side, but they seem to just pucker up when a chevy, Ponitiac or chrysler comes by. Shouldn't these guys be hitting the gears around those guys?
There are clicks in everything. If you pulled most of the hot looking mustangs from gotstang over half would probably be a V6. Take a look around. A stock cobra or mach does not fit into this catagory. I am talking about cars that have been modified, painted and fixed up.
I just purchased a v-6 mustang (2006) and yes I like the way it looks and I will add a few mods to it. But Yes I am female and I also own a 1965 Mustang Coupe that "I" am restoring myself. I have completely rebuilt the front susupension from the sway bar, to springs (600lbs and lowered 1") to the bushings and shocks. I am now redoing the body and I am almost finished with
that. It has a 5.0 going into it and am doing it because I love mustangs (yes I like Camero's as well) but mustangs are my true love. I have always like working on engines since I was 15 and I love muscle and sports cars as well.
Usually I find when guys dog a v-6 that is owned by a girl it is because the girl has done more to her car than he has done to his. Get over it.... I love looking at cars that are faster and better looking than mine. It is part of what makes a car lover a car lover. Remember 1.5 liter is a drink size not an engine. :thumpupn:

Should have close to 400 at the wheels. I'll defend the six.
That is a really sweet set up :thumpupn:Quote:

Little over 300hp. I still get poked fun at but now I find it humurous more than anything
It's nice to see that people are supporting the V6. Nothing like asking for an opinion on going from an 02 V6 to an 05/06 V6 convertible and all you hear is that unless its a V8 it's nothing. So much for showing the love. I am loving my V6 and once I can, I am definetly going to repair/modify it. Be well all...
My reply is yeah you might win a race but i bet id beat ur ass right now! They always shut up after that! LOL
i think alot of it has to do with how you represent your car. if you have some retarded body kit that's unpainted and unfitted, altezzas, and the car looks like you didnt do any planning, of course you're gonna catch some flack. but if you keep it conservative, make it look pretty, and drive it like you know it's a 6, people tend to respect it and you.
that being said, stanger's should stick together, we should be beating on camaros and ricers, not each other (outside of fun and seeing what you got)
