why did you get the V-6 if 1st thing you want to do is hot rod it?
if you have a couple of grand laying around why did'nt you get the V-8?

I Think Pretty Soon There Will Be A Dual Exhaust System For It Like With The Previous V6 Mustangs. I Forget The Company That Makes It Though, Maybe Bassani?

Whats wrong with the V6 guys? Seriously I dont get it, its nice to have a V8 engine yeah, but why do some V8 owners, yes I own a V8 engine, say that a V6 wouldnt keep someone happy? There are V8 owners out there who buy the car and right away want to mod it also.

Not an angry rant or nofin, I just dont get it sometimes.

to some a mustang is only a mustang with a v8. NOW lets see.
if it wasent for the v6,there would be no v8 mustang!!!

thanks to the cafe laws the mustang must meet a mpg goal. an with all of the v6 sales ford can go under the goal with the gt an cobras. soo i say thanks to everybody buying the v6.

Default V6 Performance?

Hi,

Ordered a V6 manual about 3 weeks ago. Mid-March delivery or so I've been told.

Curious about 0-60 and 1/4 mile times for this. Anyone have any numbers?

Disclaimer - would have gone V8, but it's my daily driver. Lots of snow up here in the great white north.

I have a V6 also and my guess is a low 15 quarter mile. Thats just a guess I haven't actually gone to a track, but i hope to soon. I converted the exhaust to the GT exhaust and am looking into a cup kit and 4.10 gears. Hope you have fun with yours.

Hey DrumStyxs10, how'd you upgrade to the GT exhaust, what parts did you add? I just looked at a GT and it sound sweet, and I have thought about upgrading as well.
