I was just curious if anyone has raced any older mustangs with their V6s. Seems like a lot of people doubt the power of the newer 4.0L saying that it's extra power only makes up for it's extra weight. Before I made any performance mods on mine, I raced a late 90s GT and smoked it.

 

My sister drove my v6 while I drove my 67 V8. The V6 won.

 

I haven`t done any myself, but my last Mustang a 76 V8 wouldn`t have stood a chance. Your right the V6 is not getting a fair shake. Only the people who haven`t driven one are the critics. For what it is the SOHC 4L is awesome. I like the bottom end torque that the SCT tuner brings out.

 

Ya, you definitely hit it right on. I challenge any critics of the new 4.0L V6 to take one for a test drive. There's no way any of them could honestly criticize the 4.0 mustang after that. Especially if they test drive a 5-speed.

 

I raced a few new edges at the track and an 84 GT with H/C/I work, I had better times than them all. I didn't do a whole lot of street racing but in the few I've had it was pretty good sucess. I had a 05 V6 with a Vortech for about 500' until boost kicked in....lol and I can usually take a GT off the line but thats it.
These are way underrated by the critics and general public alike but when you drive one......you know.

 

The 94-95 GT had only 215hp and was a 5.0 the 4.0 in the sixer is making 210 hp, though it had 288tq to the new 6's 240tq its a closer match than most realize.

 

Check out what this GT owner has to say about the V6

i drove an 07 v6 and then my car (before i bought it) and the V6 wasnt that much slower. it felt really good for a V6. sometime i kinda wish i woulda got it.

 

a buddy of mine has a 96 GTS with CAI/exhaust, i smoked it off the line and kept pulling

 

I have run 2 fox body GTs, no sweat they would probably be PO-ed if they new I was a sixer. the Cobra was running straight headers and sounded like sh** but I had him by a car length. at the light I told him It was a V6, his reply super charged! mine NOT YET! I have a 5spd,C&L CAI SCT 87oct flash, JBA headers, Pypes X pipe and a magnaflow dual exhaust, I want an X charger, i hope to get some dyno pulls shortly to see what kind of #'s I have right now.
