Do V8 owners look down on V6 mustangs?

Depends on how you drive. I know V6'ers that get 18 around town, 19-20 around town is my average. Though picking a car based on 2 miles per gallon is silly.

I still think that sound wise.. The "new edge" body style mustangs with a V8 have the loudest exhaust note.

I hear ya there.. But I can vouch that my V6 sounds pretty throaty with pypes headers and a magnaflow dual 3" exhaust, intake, throttle body, and 93 octane race tune.

Gas mileage?! Gas mileage?! You wanna talk about gas mileage?! Ha! Im fortunate enough that my mustang isnt a DD. At one point all my cars were gulping 93 octane. I keep my mustang on a 93 octane tune.. But thankfully my expedition isn't picky with regular fuel.

V6 buddy! Also yeah, it also weighs like 4000 pounds...well 3960. I always thought it funny that the camro is 40-50k that's the price of a Shelby....hhhhmmmm camro SS or Shelby.....

I love the sound of the V8 exhaust when I hear one accelerating away from a light, but I owned a Morgan and love road trips and found that living with the exhaust noise could be very tiring. I am selling my S2000 and have ordered a 2014 V6 premium convertible with automatic. I'm pushing 73 and I'm still slim and wear a speedo style swim suit (I hate those baggy trunks) and carry all my stuff in a man's shoulder carry-all bag and if there are folks who disapprove it's just too bloody bad. It will be nice if other Mustang owners accept my choices of V6 and automatic, but for those who don't, that will be their problem.

I've owned mostly 6's or high revving 4's over the years but when it came to Mustang, I'd always pay more for the power and the melody of an American Ford V8.
You can get a 6 or a hot 4 as your other car.
As to the OP, I don't care what other owners do.
