last week I shot four plugs and blew out the turbo on my 81 t/a leaving me in a situation looking for a new car. After a long history with GM I decided I couldn't take the chance with ending up with an orphan car so i went with a mustang.

2006 v6 Mustang 31k. Oddly enough a limited edition emblem on the side which is where my first question lies does anyone know what this limited edition entailed or was it just something that someone slapped onto the side? The only history I have about the car and possibly the meaning of the emblem is that the car was orgionally a rental car and I am the third owner.

my next question is what is the type of power i can expect out of one of these v6 engines and still keep it a daily driver?

i have run NOS on my last three cars and am wondering what an average shot is for these engines.

If anyone would be able to help out with any of my questions it would be incredibly helpful, thank you in advance.

(and yes those cheap plastic chrome fender vents have been taken off these pictures were taken right after driving off the lot)

That car is the ONLY one of its kind.... there was only ONE of those exact cars manufactured. It truly is a limited edition. And that badge cost about $30. Nice car though. Welcome to the 4.0 modding addiction.

Good choice on removing the fake vents. I would say that with a tuner/cai/and dual exhaust, you can expect around 30 hp over stock, bringing her up to about 240hp at the flywheel. If you juice her, you can easily get close to 300 safely, Lots of guys running a 75 shot with no problems. One of the first mods I would do, if I had it to do over again and start somewhere else, would be the rear end ratio and posi. I would have made my posi 8.8 with 4.10's my FIRST mod ever, and never spent a penny on anthing else until that was done. Just my 02c

All right thank you for the input, now knowing that that is just a slap on emblem its coming off and going the way of the fake fender vents. Tonight im off to the track to get some base times then tomorrow will begin the modifications.

welcome to the forums. nice car. if you write to this address and say that you bought the car used, and say please, they will send you a copy of the original window decal. actually it is a exact stickem window decal like the car came with but with the backing on it still. it will tell you everything about the car, all the dates, what all came on it, where it was made, where it got shipped to, the prices, options prices, est mpg ect. the molding on the doors kinda says it was a rental car. pretty sure ive seen that emblem at auto zone. expect it to take a month or so, but its very cool to have.
