Anyone notice how the right-side exhaust tip looks larger than the left-side exhaust tip? Might just be an illusion though. However, I don't see an inner tube inside an outer dress tube like at the auto show. I'm curious to see what the final production exhaust tips looks like.

 

Whoa,there's a V6 pic i'd thought i'd never see!

 

Im impressed, ****! the car looks like it's dancing around the track compared to the other cars!

 

looks VERY impressive....

 

Good 1st driviving article on the six ... however my crappy computer here at work locked up when I tried to play the video !! Have to wait to see it at home I guess.

pretty cool.... almost makes me think i want one..

 

I noticed the 0-60 times drops 1.5 seconds according to Ford. The outgoing V6 was 6.5-6.6 for 0-60 so 5 seconds flat for the new V6? That's dead even with the old GTs. I know the old GT bashers will roll in but that's a high 13 second car. Bonus, it was nice to see both rear tires going up in smoke! This Stang is going to destroy the Camaro and Challenger!

I wonder if this article was mentioned on Camaro 5? Some of the folks over there are still believe the new V6 weighs 3750 pounds.

 

Nice! Shoulda posted a pic of the left side so us V6 owners can feel extra proud of it no longer being a pegleg one-wheel peel!!

 

On a side note, Ingot Silver looks pretty good. Definitely different enough from Brilliant Silver, and it almost looks like Vapor Silver (about 2 shades lighter though).

 

I think the era of "good enough" is dead at Ford, being replaced by world class excellence. I'm not sure which will be the more compelling '11 Mustang -- 3.7 or 5.0 -- but I am glad that such a conundrum exists at all.

 

WOW!!! I just called my Lawyer to tell him to hurry up on my settlement. I have to get my order in for one of these with a automatic and 3.31 rear gear. I wonder if they were running the 2.73 or the 3.31 gear ratio in the video?

 

Nice writeup and voice. Finally the V6 is more then just a commuter car!

 

Getting Tail happy in a 6cyl. I love it. Wonder what that will do to insurance prices!

 

thanks so much for posting that! I was getting impatient and thinking about going ahead with a V6 Camaro, now I know I MUST WAIT FOR NEW V6 MUSTANG!

I think that was the new California Special grill on that car? not sure I like it . . . I think I like the old honeycomb style better . . .

Also I think they mentioned that the test car has the V6 Performance Package (not available to the public until Summer) so I think that means it had the 3.31 rear end . . . though I don't see the shock tower brace in the photos, so I'm not sure

 

I thought the MT article stated that the car he was a passenger in was the standard car but he did say they had a Track Pack car on the track but he didn't actually ride in it. Some of the video is of a car without a passenger but they didn't say which car it was.

 

I like this V6 better than my 4.0, anyone what to buy 2010 4.0 V6.

 

2011 might be one of the greatest years for the mustang ever

I'm really excited to see that the 6er isn't being neglected anymore. a 5 second 0-60 in the base model mustang is an awesome thing

 

That's the Mustang Club of America package for the 2011 V6 which is available in addition to the Pony package. Both the MCA and CS share that same style grill. I watched the NAIA show on NBC yesterday afternoon and saw a car with the usual pony package grill so I'm guessing the mesh grill is still available and probably the norm. I didn't like the billet grill at first but it grew on me after looking at a few 1970 Mustangs. I just wish the lights were further in like those models.

 

I got the impression this was the MCA car with 3.31s and a manual tranny.
