Prod Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 But what else would you expect? http://www.mustangforums.com/m_1945952/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm I owned the Tom guy for calling Subarus "a pile of crap" when he drives a V6 Mustang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psucaptainkickass Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 +1, your post, good. But remember your audience, they probably went to the eric zoolander institute for kids that can't read good. There is one, and only one mustang (current gen) that people will make me jealous. GT, nah, GT 500, nah, The concept car AS SHOWN at the NAIAS. That car was the sexytime. Everyone who drives a mustang now is amazing at how "retro" it looks, when in fact Ford has no clue how to bring true retro to the masses. At least when the classic mustangs were that big, they came with big power for the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandman Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Wait a minute! Guys are allowed to buy V6 Mustangs? I missed that memo. Only if they can't spell, I guess..... Who Dares Wins スバル Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looneycanuk Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Man they are such tools.. "I would change my name to Jebediah and become Omish." Omish? :lol: I gotta agree with Prod, whats the ******* point of a mustang V6? Now if they offered some kind of super lightweight version maybe, but hell to the nahh.. What's the point? Let me begin: First, you have dealer-installed racing stripes installed. Then, window louvres. Next, you prowl the highways and pick on my humble Spec B (or any LGT for that matter). Finally, you give me the finger and back off when you realize that your flashy "sports car" whose logo is a horse that is running away is no match against 6 ninja stars!

whitetiger Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 What i dont understand is how ford can put that huge 4.0L V6 and not get 300 hp out of it. 210hp from 4 liters is the worst use of displacement i have ever seen. And BTW, that the same engine as the one in their freestar/monterey minivans. Next is that pickup truck solid rear suspension. no mustang can claim to be a well riding/handleing car with that in the back. They might as well use leaf springs. All the car has is its looks even that is subjective as with any car. so the last thing the mustang is, is a sports car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeddr7 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Its funny how so many of the comments changed with those Crustang guys when the LGT owners were putting up timeslips. They were like, oh I respect the car. Any of the turbo subaru models especially stick would beat an 8cylinder, never mind the 6 Who needs tickets to the gun show?

wukindada Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 It's like arguing with Charlie Babbot..... There is talk of the Mustang getting the new 3.5 in 08. Many of our younger members on this site are actually younger than the 4.0l V6 ford still uses:rolleyes: I do like the look of the New mustang but as many have mentioned with a V6.........:lol: Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!!

RangerMan Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I was responding to the use of a live rear axle. The V6 is not much of a car. My wife drives one. Nothing special. Its a car. I think the rear axle does pretty well. Looks like they run pretty well against the 911 and M3. This was the Daytona race Jan 27, 2006.

godwhomismike Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I don't see the live axle being much of a problem, unless you are modding a V8 Mustang and making a some serious hp numbers. In that case, you would be best to swap out the stock live axle for a heavy duty unit or else it will snap like a thin pretzel stick. I've seen stock Mach 1's with just racing slicks at the track snap the rear axle. I think if I were to have a V8 Mustang - I might look to swap out the stock axle for a Moser 31 spline axle. Also, I kinda wish I had some money to throw into a very high HP Mustang. I would buy a 03/04 Cobra - swap out the IRS for Moser 31 spline live axle. New pulleys, stickier tires, either a Whipple or Kenne Bell supercharger, better clutch, exhaust.... etc etc.... I've read in several places that all it takes is slightly less than $5000 (including labor costs too) to make a 650-750whp monster out of the 03/04 SVT Mustang Cobra.

whitetiger Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I was responding to the use of a live rear axle. Yes, but those are race prepared mustangs with pro drivers. if you were to compare a factory mustang v6 or gt, the handling and corner behavior is crap compared to a comparable car with an IRS. couple that with that crap V6 and you got nothing close to a sports car.

There's a guy with a GT that runs in stock class at the Central PA region autocross and he does really well in it. (Granted he's also an amazing driver, but my point is that they can be driven effectively) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psucaptainkickass Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Needless to say, my brother in law words at Ford. When he was visiting he was like let's go drive the mustang so you can check it out (I didn't have the LGT at the time). GT models weren't out yet, so we drove the V6. Let's just say that my brother in law was confused at how the company he works for could screw up so damn much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyMtnGT Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Ok a baby blue V6 is bad enough, but they seriously sell a "pony package"? BAHAHAHA V6 mustangs are formally known as Pus-stangs where I come from... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawdaddy79 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Fords have improved a lot over the years. In the mid-90's they were awful, but strangely enough that's when they sold the most cars. I remember beating out a V6 ~94 Mustang with my 105HP 86 Celica ST from a red light to about 1/8th of a mile ahead when two lanes turned into one. I couldn't believe it. He had a bad takeoff but then so did I. And that's not even mentioning the even older 4cyl Mustang which was a complete waste of money in all aspects. There was absolutely nothing good about that car - but I knew about six people that had one. Ok a baby blue V6 is bad enough, but they seriously sell a "pony package"? That's for when a horse package is a little too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
