You see mainly was saying is everyone's life is different and so are the needs and budgets of those. This is why Ford and other have so many models to choose from. The same goes for the Mustang Market, for Ford to grab as much market share in this area they need to have different models and options, So tell me when you bought you GT were you just settling because you could not afford a GT500?

 

I c ur rainbow.. and raise you this!

 

I could buy a GT500 if i really wanted it, but i thought 305 hp is already alot, consider my last car was not even 200 hp.

lol, I did not ever think I would want a car with 400hp, or 500 hp, or 650hp... well I realy like the shape of my 13' V6 with MCA package, maybe after I put 250Km on there in a few years I'll get another DD and drop a V8 in this car as a project on the side.

 

I buy a new car every year sometimes less then a year. I would have to keep a shelby about 2.2 years to be able to trade it in. So I am not a good example of the rule.

 

I would say keep the sixxer in the car and get a SC installed.

 

 

don ge i

 

between a SC V6 and a NA V8, i think i like the V8 better. Not just because it sounds better, reliability is very high on my list and I just dont trust after-market SC enough

 

HAHAHAHA Priceless!

 

Yeah, I don't have that much hate in me. Maybe a few hundred posts' worth

 

I understand and appreciate the reasons Ford makes the V6, economy versions of cars, but what I don't understand is this: If V6 owners are comfortable with their cars, why the need to defend the V6? At least once a day, there's a thread started or hijacked by the V6 v V8 arguments. If you like the car, and if it does what you want it to without having to have the V8, why should you care what anyone says about the V6? Why should you care what anyone else thinks about it? Seems the V6 guys on here are extra-touchy sometimes...for little reason. Just sayin'.

 

Because of the history.. I hated the comments I used to get from GT owners when I had my 2006 V6.. No respect at all. It was worse then a guy in a Miata. Sure the 4.0L was slower then the 3.7L but that engine was solid. The 3.8L of the new edge also saw its share of GT hate. I have been tried of hearing it for over 6 years now so when I still see it when the new 3.7L have HP that is more than the 2005 - 2009 GT's it makes me wonder WTF. Why do owners of the same car with two more pistons have to rank or go "Oh its a V6" all the time. Gets tiring at times. Not everyone wants the GT!! I wish the GT owners would get it and just appreciate the V6 as a full fledged Mustang just as the Boss, and GT500 owners don't rank on the GT's for being underpowered in their realm. I do not drive a Japanese car, I do not drive a Chevy or Mopar I drive and own Fords, I own a 305 HP Mustang (regardless of piston count) turn your Hate on the other guy, on the Heavy Mopar or ugly Camaro. This is "The MUSTANG Source" last time I looked at my VIN it clearly states "MUSTANG"!!!

 

This is by far the best post I have read in a long time. Well said.

 

So does the VIN for the 1974 Mustang, anyone driving that one? ;p

 

The first two generations of mustangs look the best

 

They continues the line.. no gap so they did serve a purpose..

 

Because the v6 is the lowest platform of the car and American muscle is a v8. That's why you get the hate. Deal with it or add two cylinders...

 

I guess GT or better owners see the car in terms or max output and find it silly to go half way on the car. The fact that so many v6 owners think they bought a hot rod gets old. You are measuring with the old bar and the old standard of hp. Things get bigger and better and the standard changes. Also the car world is a one up contest and that just how its always been. Think of it.. its a world built on building, modding, upgrading and being faster then the next guy.

Its like a girl buying a little pink hammer and telling a carpenter on a job site "oh cool you have a hammer also".

 

Lol

 

You guys are a rip...
