Rob Kinaan frrom Hot Rod magazine testing the ProCharged Shelby GTS.

Wondering a little about the claimed 450 lb.ft. torque...

And I'm with Rob, exhaust sounds like crap.

 

Only so much you can do with V6 exhaust sound.

 

That may be, but there are certainly better sounding exhaust systems out there than what they have on that car.

 

I've heard worse sounding V6s........but I love his comment "sounds like an import with a fart can"

 

Well it's a V6....how do you not expect it to sound like an import????

facepalm.

It does however sound like a V6 with some hefty *****.

 

475 Hp...but only turns the same times as a 412 HP GT? What am I missing?

 

Torque curve and weight.

 

Now if we are talking about procharging a 5.0......

 

Looks like crap too.

 

Wow, feel the hate...

 

you are missing torque that the bad sounding 6 don't have that the mean sounding v8 has.. I honestly have no clue why anyone would even consider a v6 Mustang.. Dead serious..

 

And there is one of the most ridiculous statements that gets repeated on every thread like this...

 

Agree... If the buyer is looking for performance. For fuel economy/daily drivability

 

Maybe someone like me - who knows his late model V6 Mustang would eat your 2007 GT for breakfast! Dead serious...

 

I could reply to this but i won't.

 

But you kindda just did.... hehe...



Oh also, IBTL!!!



Btw, I find it hilarious that EVERY single V6 thread, ultimately turns into a "let's bash the V6 mustangs" thread...... some people, I tell you. We're all car guys here... can't we all just get along?

 

sounds like a Nissan or another import with dual exhaust. but hey what do you expect, its a FI v6, Imports pretty much have that market already coined with the Import sound, Of course it would not sound like a deep throaty v8 like the 5.0l.

 

Yeah i guess i did.

 

Looks like a nice all around performer. Sounds awful though.

 

Isn't it amazing how much the sound matters? It's impressive what they've done to the V6, and they've added some looks to the car as well. But the sound kills it for me, and it has nothing to do with it sounding like an import on steroids; it just doesn't sound like a car that looks like that is *supposed* to sound. When an American muscle car is suped up and dressed up to look and drive like that one, it's supposed to sound a certain way. I hate to say it, but yeah, the sound alone would keep me from considering it before I got any further down the list of what it does or doesn't do.
