I finally caved in and bought a new mustang.

[Stage1]

looks good! Another wildhorses car!

Yes indeed !!!

Looks good man

Thanks , I have a few mods going on it soon..

 

[HEMI LOL]

the new V6s are nice cars. great pickup!

 

[Stage1]

Yes they are, it has plenty of power for a V6 .. I will start changing some things on it once I finish my Roush up ..

 

[My05Stang]

insane power for a v6 lol theyre faster than the 05 gts now

 

[Riptide]

They are faster than the 05 gt? Since when? News to me.

They are close but the 05-10 GT's are a tad faster. However if an older GT is not in mint running condition and has slowed with age than a new v6 could take one stock for stock. Either way they are very fast for 6's. And a huge improvement. First muscle ever with a 6 that actually has balls. All the previous gens were sad.

I don't think they are faster, I seen race on YouTube .. The v6 was about a car and half slower than the v8 .. It really doesnt matter to me it has plenty of power for the wife ..

I drove a 2012 V6 auto at work the other day and could not have been less impressed. But they are def nice cars.

HUH??

Wasn't impressed. They are nice cars but they have no torque. I don't care what they say in their advertising. SLOW. Maybe a manual would be different. GM talked the same way about the NEW V6 power plant the the newer camaros. 305hp blah blah. They barely get out of their own way.

^I would have to agree from my experience though it is with a V6 Camaro.

Gotta love a girl who likes mustangs!

But you are only talking about how they FEEL in normal driving, not how they actually perform when you really put your foot down. They have been tested @ low 5's to 60 and high 13's in the 1/4. Heck, that's faster than most v8 muscle cars of yesteryear and hardly qualifies for a comment of "They barely get out of their own way" relative to the fact that we are talking about the base 6 cyl here, which is a HUGE improvement over the pre-2011's. The older muscle cars had that torquey grunty feel but when you put your foot down there wasn't a whole lot more there. With these cars it's just the opposite. Either way, the numbers don't lie and they are the fastest base-engine muscle cars ever.

Oh I put my foot down, trust me. I had that thing to the floor. Was not impressed. But to each their own. For a v6 it's ok. Have you driven one? I'm not trying to take anything away from the base cars, just saying they are not what their made out to be.

Relax fellas, this thread was not meant to turn into a pissing contest .. Overall I'm happy with the car. It's not a power house by any means but it's has good enough power for my wife.

I wasn't pissing, just advising of the facts. I have heard before they dont have much low end grunt and I think some people simply go in expecting too much based on the numbers they've seen.

I agree with you Kbreeze, the auto bleeds off alot of the tq, but all in all its a good car with a decent amount of power.
