Do V8 owners look down on V6 mustangs?
Just wondering if people do or if it's sorta something people do in secrete. 
Also this isn't a v6 vs v8 thread. Just asking if people (not the ones on here) look down on the v6.

Yep.. "A six, ohh man" is a common shock most people have when they see my Roush.. That's because most wouldn't expect a 6 under the hood of such a sinister car.. I laugh, because its more rare, and with the mods I have and the blower I'm installing over the winter, I'm well over 400 to the rear, and a lot lighter! But as an owner of a variety of vehicles I understand the nostalgia of an 8 mustang. I'm just more annoyed by the people who give me sh*t for having an automatic. I don't waste the time explaining to those people that I had broke my neck and have severe weakness in my left leg making it very unsettling to effectively pop a clutch. I just look beyond their ignorance, usually to see a Honda keychain on their keyring..

Yep.. I get that.. The car started as a "budget" toy car.. Gone wild.. By the time I added up the receipts I Figd it'd be best to hide them from my wife! Ha. I hear you on the arthritis.. My knees too are shot. I'm a retired athlete turned healthcare professional, so I know all too well about the injections you get.

It's not a actual Roush. It's the body kit they sell. Though I do admit no matter what engine you have if it looks nice, it looks nice! Yeah the injections are annoying and they don't take away all the sore/pain from arthritis.

I know even my 60 year old mother would have given me a bunch of grief if I'd have bought a V6. No point in getting a Mustang or Camaro without an 8. If you're getting a six, you have options. V8, rear drive? You really only have the big three and some high end Germans.

Please that post was unneeded and had nothing to do with the purpose of the thread.

In '05 there was a long waiting list for the new redesign in V8 form.. So Ford authorized some dealerships have Roush stage 1 appearance packages on the V6. Mine is 1 of 12 that I've found. Roush also made a special package specific for V6 owners to but aftermarket, but it was a little more "toned down" than the package I have.
