Mustang HP vs Other Vehicles

Before I start the topic I do want to say that I am very pleased with the performance of my 05 V6. And from reading this forum I am sure the GT is awesome. Plus there is no way I would trade my Mustang for anything else.

Okay that said, let me ask - Did it seem like on Sunday's coverage of the International Auto Show that everything that was around 4.0 and 4.6 had more HP than the Mustang? Did Ford mess up by not making the engines just a little more powerful? I think they did. It doesn't seem right to have such a good looking car that reminds everyone of the Muscle Car Days that might can be outran by a soccer mom in a minivan or SUV.

You're not alone in this thinking...

I love my V6 2006 too, but the fact remains that most Japanese V6 cars will smoke our V6 4.0L's. But it gets worse...most import V6's have multi-valves, and variable valve timing too....two great features our V6's don't have.

I bought my Mustang primarily for the looks, and for the price, and I chose the V6 because it provides better gas milage then the more powerful (and fun) V8. And of course it was cheap too.

But it is what it is. Be satisfied with your V6...it is relatively under-powered, lacks refinement, and buzzess too much, but hey, it's beautiful!!!
