Unhappy

Has anybody driven a V6? If so how was the power in it? :scratch:


Change my question: Anybody that works at AAI out there that had a chance to drive a pre-production 5 speed V6, please answer the above question.

The auto is pretty strong, about on par with a 96 GT auto. There are no V6 manuals yet untill late November. Ford is prioritizing gt's and V6 autos right now to get the most common types out there.

Yes I just remembered the delay on 5 speed V6. I guess I should change my question.

It's quite good. I haven't driven a wide range of performance cars, so I can't really compare it to anything, but it was a fair pull given its status. I think I heard the 0-60 was about seven seconds....

Short version - for the money I think the V6 will leave you pleasantly surprised.
