I went in not expecting much but those videos are great. Very informative and detailed. I like they fact that it answers a lot of the question about what comes with V6 Performance Package. Now we know the brakes are the 2010 GT with the Track Pack friction pads and not the 2011 GT brakes. Also the performance package also includes the GT dampers.

That was awesome stuff I thought that the v6 had a factory forged crank that video proved it. I thought it had piston oil squirters confirmed. I thought it had adaptive knock sensors confirmed. This 3.7 motor is serious I really can't wait to see some forced induction examples spoiling a lot of peoples preconceived notions about how slow a v-6 mustang is
I for one plan to be a member of that club trying to get my car in at ati can you imagine a performance package base car with about 8-10#s of forced fed air I'm thinking flat-very low 12's should be achieved

I knew the PP didn't have the 2011 GT brakes. They obviously looked smaller. Shrugs...it still stops short. I just wish you could get the Brembo Package on the V6.

You bring up a point that I think I am about to post. I want to know if anyone has tried swapping the V6 brakes out with the Brembo set. I think that with fuel concerns, who knows, maybe I have grown an interest in building a supercharged V6 with FRPP suspension and Brembo brakes. Just not sure it's something that can be added. I only assume that since the V6 PP has last years GT brakes up front that the Brembos can be added. I think it would be one hell of a sleeper! Just gotta do away with the V6 front fascia and grille.
