Hey everyone I want to know what is the 0-60MPH time for a 2000 3.8L V6 with an automatic transmission I know that car and driver found that the manual 3.8L V6 does 0-60 in about 7.1 secs. But what does the auto 3.8L do it in? And also is it true that the 01-04 mustang V6's have different engines than the 99-00 v6 mustangs? because someone on this site said that the 2003-2004 v6 puts out 248FT-Lbs of torque is that true I have seen no site that can confirm this info. Thanks to anyone who can answer both my questions I appreciate it!!!

Where have all of these people been getting the 250 ftlbs of trq from? I have never heard that before and then all of a sudden I am seeing it all over this site... If they had 250trq stock they would be a tad quicker to 60mph than 8+ seconds...

I cant agree with you more. I really dont believe that the 01-04 mustangs came with that much more torque. I dont even believe 235 ftlbs of torque. 225FTlbs is acceptable though.

No other car out there has a bigger difference in the 0-60 times than the 99-04 v6 between the stick and the auto.
Stick is 7.5 seconds. Auto is 8.5 - 9.2 seconds. 9.2 for California.
The 01-04 is an internally balanced engine where the 99-00 is externally balanced. This is why an ud pulley for 99-00 is less than $100 and for 01-04 is more than $200.
The 01-04 also has a stronger block.

Don't forget here guys. They are measuring torque/hp at the crank, not to the wheels. That's why an auto is slower-more parasitic loss than a manual.......
There are many factors to consider when trying to determine track times......
Shinerstang why is it that automatic trannies have more HP loss?
Because an automatic transmission is nothing more than a giant fluid pump whereas a manual transmission is all gears other than the clutch. An automatic relies on fluid pressure to couple the flywheel to the drivetrain while the manual uses a friction clutch. Once the clutch is engaged it is out of the picture while the torque converter and front pump always require power from the engine.
Shinerstang, I know the difference between crank and wheel hp. What I meant was I had never heard that the split-ports had 250 crank trq. If they did have that much trq. they would be able to run better track times. That is 20-30 more trq. than they are rated as.

Yea thats what I thought too. Because that is a lot but I could definetely see 2-5 Ft-lbs of torque though.

The reason that the 01+'s run better times and make better power is the IMRC and that helps with the peak number's mainly and the windage tray. It is still a nice little feature to have though.
I have and 01 v6 with bbk intake, motivator throttle body spacer, bbk throttle body, bbk headers, dual flowmasters, and a diablosport programmer. I'm going to the drags in a few weeks. (It is a manual) my launches are horrible. I either spin out or its extremely slow. What do I need to do to better my launch? And what should I be running. I've been running 16.8. Not cool.
99-04 3.8L v6 Engine and 0-60 times?
