So they do have a ghost cam tune, not a big surprise really. The only question now is, how does the car owner keep his ears from bleeding...

 

Haha he said it was WAY too loud and he could only keep it that way for a week, he was catless for the video but he installed hiflow race cats and welded them into the xpipe and nowthat removed both the drone and raspiness, everyone keeps watching the video for the wrong reasons, its about the **** ghost cam tune

 

You would still go run a 1/4 I doubt you'll reach that speed by the end of the run anyways.

 

97 cobra. not too heavily modded but yes modded

 

Ok, I see your mods in your sig now. So my guess is that with a 2001 cobra engine, and those mods, you have about 325-330 HP at the wheels right?

Seriously though, a modded 6 with those same mods is probably only about 2 tenths off the 1/4 where your cobra is and about 15 HP off at the wheels where your cobra is. Don't you think that's amazing? This is what my research has discovered. The 3.7 V6 supercharged is going to be right around the same power and times as any pre-2011 supercharged 4.6 mustang. You might be able to get 2 to 3 tenths faster by rolling the dice with higher boost in the 4.6. But not enough to justify building a track car off of without completely swapping out the internals or the engine completely.

 

But the 4.6 sounds better

 

hmmm the way I see it the 4.6 and 5.0 yield better power mod for mod. The 3.7 is at the top of its game but its far closer to it limits from the factory then the larger motor. You will even see greater gain from a tune alone with the V8. The SC talk is also kinda silly because no one is spending 5g on v6 right now. Ive seen 500 SC'ed V8's and 2 or 3 sixxers. Also the torq the little motor would be putting out would still be far less.

 

amazing yes! no one is saying its not. I think in a year and a half when the turbo four hits people will be saying the same to the sixxer guys. To be honest tho I would think the v6 or 4 banger should be making less power and making better mpg. Drop a 100hp and 50 tq and use a lights body and the car would pick up 5 mpg. Thats what the little car should be about.. not playing almost as good.

 

I'm doing all of it for fun, not to compete. I'm not gonna have a 400+ rwhp DD lol, I'm gonna tune, add the aluminum shaft, do exhaust work and that's it. if it got me to 350 rwhp then I'd be an extremely happy camper, if not then oh well !

 

I have a +400 hp Daily driver

 

Congrats, so do a lot more people...

 

The 4.6 also sounds better than the Coyote...but I doubt very many Coyote owners would trade.

 

I completely disagree. The 4.6 is much harder to boost and is closer to its limits. The 3.7 has been proven to be extremely reliable at 500HP/425 at the wheels. The 3.7 is no where even close to its limits. Do some research on this. And of course the torque is less. But again, a reliably boosted 3.7 is so close to a reliably boosted 4.6, that it really is driver vs. driver.

 

Ford needs to compete with the Camaro's 6. GM decided to make a performance 6 and Ford needed to compete in order to keep the V6 sales up. So they really had no choice on this matter if they wanted to stay competitive. But yes, I actually agree on this. Many bought the 6 because of how it compared to the 4.6. If they hadn't made a 6 with so much power than many would have just bought the GT. But the fact of the matter remains that this 6 really performs unbelievably. But yes, I also think the 6 will be gone in a few years because it is way too close to the GT and probably cannablizes sales from the GT. Once they get that 4 banger out there, the gap will be wide enough that those like me would never buy that 4 banger.

 

^ only below 5200rpm

 

My cobra still sounds better even at 7200 rpm

 

my 2007 with the ford racing whipple 550hp kit was my daily driver. made over 460 wheel on 91 and still got 23 highway.

 

Indeed. The current engines are in a much higher state of tune than the prior power plants. I think the only real vice of the 3v was a more detonation prone combustion chamber. Otherwise they've been pretty good engines.

 

The 6 will die due to tighter MPG regs rather than cannibalising from the GT. Not that the 6 is inefficient, rather it would be less disputed choice in an effort to boost the Mustangs contribution to CAFE.

 

Hmmm the V6 becomes a collectible.

This thread started out as a complaint of a V6 driveshaft not holding up to speeds beyond 112 MPH (or 135 MPH, or whatever).

The news in Orlando pointed out a street race between two yong idiots this past weekend. Yes idiots, as they killed a bystander (semi idiot for watching the event). Then this idiot drives off, leaving behind the dead bystander he hit, along with 10 others he injured. He was caught and arrested later. I hope they castrate him, as stupid people should not be allowed to breed.
