Some V6 love!! Good article. Nice to see there are some people out there making a name for the Mustang with the V6 not just the 5.0. Don't think I'll supercharge mines tho, just some bolt ons to make it an enjoyable DD. I just got a great deal on a Boss so I might pick that up to hit the track in. Whoever does decide to supercharge there V6 will have a beast on there hands.

The Ford Duratec35 is a great engine and easily on par technologically and performance-wise with any of the current, modern 6 pots out there, Nissan VQ, BMW V6, GM Ecotec V6, etc.

However I still believe the car has and WILL be intentionally designed for the V8s with any other engines as an after-thought. And I owned and loved my '03 V6 Stang before this one.

And what does any of that have to do with the subject of this thread???

The first statement is strange because the V6 in the 2011+ Mustang isn't a duratec 3.5, it is a 3.7 motor in the same family as the 3.5.

Plus the second statement is completely incorrect.

And BMW doesn't make a V6.

Yes they do. The 335i & 535i both have a V6 engine.

The 3.7 is one the best sounding V6s on the market. Very sexy!

I really wanted the Roush V6 Stage III they had at the dealer when I was looking at my ride. It is an awesome engine and platform.
