I have the V6 and I love it. I picked it because I really didn't want to deal with the insurance prices of the GT and also because I got a great deal on it while all the dealerships I went to wouldn't even go below MSRP on the GT. I live in NYC so I never really race anybody because 1) the traffic is not ideal 2) the roads aren't exactly in the best shape in most areas and 3) I hate tickets. With that said, I really don't know how my V6 will do in a race but when I'm at a light and I want to cut in front of somebody or if I need to pass a car while in motion the V6 provides more than enough kick for me to do it. 210 might not be a lot but to me I never really get the chance to use that much anyway. Plus, if I want more horsepower this forum has been more than helpful in terms of offering input. After I put a few thousand more miles on my Stang I want to maybe get a CAI with a tuner for it.
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.
