Has anybody done any CAI and Exhaust Mods on their 2010 V6 Mustang? Looking at Base V6 Auto. Any info wouuld be great. thanks

 

I put the Magnaflow cat-back dual exhaust kit on mine.

 

2010 v6 is a huge step down from a GT, what happened?

The old 4.0 is a real slug unless serious mods, as in forced induction, are in your future.

 

I may be Trading a toyota that i have for a 2010 for now.If I can work a deal on the 2010 I can still move up on a NEW GT in the future I Still have a 5.0 GT Conv.that runs great.So why not have a HT and a Conv. By the way my killer 94 Z-28 is for sale also, just had to add that.

 

You always hear about how slow the 4.0 is. It's certainly not as fast as the GT obviously, but I think we need to have some historical perspective that is longer than the last 4 or 5 years on this subject.

The current 4.0 V6 is faster than a 69 Boss 429, faster than a Bandit Edition 6.6 liter Trans Am, faster than the venerable 65 Mustang 289 Hi Po, and way faster than every Mustang II ever made.

It is as fast as the legendary 87 Mustang GT, and as fast as the 87 IROC Z28.

I think we're in pretty good company because I can remember when most of these cars were brand new. lol


PS, it's also much faster than a stock 1994 Mustang V6 which had the staggeringly impressive times of 9.9 and 17.3. lol

 

You can wake it up some with the standard mods, CAI, Tune, and a switch to a true dual exhaust.

 

You can check out what AM did to their 2005 v6- as it's the same engine.

That's still the msrp on it. So there's plenty of room for negotiation. Ask them to come back with a price for you. Under 20 would be a pretty good deal I'd think?

Edit is this still available: http://www.drivefordtoday.com/vehicl...5168|225383484

just have your local ford store do a car search.

 

Still looking I am sure something will come up for a good price this weekend.If I got the coupon to work I will find a good deal out there.

 

Not sure about all the cars you compared the 4.0 liter V6 2010 Mustang too.
But can assure you it''s not faster than the 225 hp 5.0 liter 1987 Mustang GT

 

Oh read carefully now, I didn't say it was faster, I said "as fast". Technically the 87 is a bit faster at 6.4 and 14.8 while the 4.0 V6 is about 6.8 and 15.3. I know on the drag track that's a noticeable difference but on the street where most of these cars live its very close. But no the 4.0 is not faster than the 87 GT, but it's close enough that I wouldn't be calling it a slug. That's all I"m saying. Also to be fair the 4.0 is only faster than the Boss 429 in the 0 to 60 time. The Boss was 7.1 in the 0 to 60 time but once that big block really got up a head of steam it took off. the 1/4 mile was 13.6. Still that puts the 4.0 in some pretty impressive company. If we were talking numbers like 9.9 and 17.3 like the mid 90's 3.8 V6 than I would say ok it's a slug. But at 6.8 and 15.3, it's pretty good.
