yeah i have one. i got it when i was 17. i'm a broke ass 20 year college studentwho has to pay for my insurance, payment, gas along with other stuff... lame and typicalexcuse, but it's true. i wanted aGT, test drove a few GTs, and yes they are much nicer, but more expensive. i know my car ain't no prize compare tosome of ya'lls, but i still love it. so what do ya'll really think of a v6 mustang???

i think its an alright car, my first car was a V6 but in all honesty u should get a toyota.

the first car i drove legally was my dads 95' 3.8, it was alright, had problems and all, but still fun,

I think it's stupid. If you're getting a V6 you might as well get a car that rides a little nicer. It's a mustang. And why the hell would you get a V6, it's just like another regular car, you might as well get something a little more comfy.

First off... No more using of the word 'ya'll' please!




I think they are a perfectly good choice for someone who wants a mustang but does not want or cannot pay the extra price tag, insurance, and gas for a GT.

I have seen some VERY nice V6s and i always give credit where credit is due...

But what i and everyone else hates is when some kid gets ahold of a V6 mustang as a first car and talks it all up.... It seems like 90% of the kids with a V6 anything under the age of 17-18 think its gods fastest creation...... Thats where the bad rap comes from.

I agree. Plus, V6 owners tend to be more tenacious on the roads then GT owners. I have no idea if they feel they need to prove something, deep down think a V6 Stang would beat a GT, you tell me. Just my .02.

Thats the most retarded response that could have been said....

I think redass said it best... "Our mustangs are nothing more than a Ford Taurus(sp) with a V8 in them"

In stock form they are piss slow anyways.... So why does it matter V6 or V8?

you are quoting redass? ..:eek:...:D..:D..

sorry about the ya'll... i have lived in the south all my life andalot of ppl would consider me a redneck. :D

yeah, i hate the ppl that make the v6 out to be something more than it is just because it has an exhaust, cai, a tune. i have an 02, and yes it is slow for a "sports car" - especiallystock. sorry v6 ppl, it just is. iknow there are chevy haters out there, but i have driven anls1 camaroso i know what "quick" is.;)

I think you should reconsider your reply. They are Piss slow stock? I really hope you are not referring to a GT. Think about it. You own an SN-95, New Edge. Compared to an S197, your car is piss slow. It does matter V6 or V8. do you want speed, or cruising power. Sure, gas is cheaper, less expensive. But, you don't buy a V6 for speed. It will take more money for a V6 to be faster then a GT, rather then a GT being even faster.

Piss Slow. hahahaha. Redass is funny....

before i say this, i want to be clear, it is my opinion,and my opinion only. No way do i want to offend anyone, but it did ask for my honestopinion,. I feal thata mustang should be V8. PERIOD. There is some cool looking v6's out there,and evan some real fast ones, but i don't get it. I grow up with a bunch of motor heads, and all we did was work on V8's. If you really want a mustang, and can only afford a v6, then go for it, but i would save and buy a V8. I can't look at a v6 without thinking you should have bought an 8. This is going to be a long thread.

A GT500 trumps your GT. [8D]A GT is piss slow compared to a GT500...Hell go buy a GT500 you damn GT wussy. Damn poser buying a non GT500.

Ummmmm.......driving a 65 you should remeber that the original Stangs didn't just come with a 289. In the history of the pony cars there have always been sixxers or fours. Get off the rag you lesser motor haters. There's room for all of us Stang owners.

It's an opinion thread, don't get your panties up in a bunch when someone says something you don't agree with.

I love my V6, it has everything a new driver needs. Cool looks, the bad ass rep when you are noticed in it. It has a great shaker system for a stock setup. The automatic feels great when going 4 miles in 1 hour http://www.mustangforums.com/image/s6.gif
Not good on gas, but not as bad as a hummer if thats safe to say ><

i look at the sixxers as little brothers. i hope some of you are aware that little brothers can be bigger/stronger/whateverererer than their bigger siblings. i wish ford put more power in the sixxers though, even in the current S197 sixxer that gets outran by the majority of family sedans.

as for the 'mustangs are slow stock' comment,


no



compared to the f bodies, **** yeah they are, but compared to the majority (if not all) of imports that are in the same price range that are marketed as 'sporty sports cars' you can't be serious to say the mustang GT is piss slow, year for year.

some people have had ****ty experiences with their mustang, but my experience with my car has been overall pretty damn good. so what if its a taurus with a V8, RWD, and a stick? do you mean to say a taurus is a piece of **** car, thus making mustangs look like ****? who the hell buys a mustang only because 'its comfortable', nevermind wanting a cheap V8 stick shift with pleny of torque for the average joe to play around with on a daily basis? not everybody buys a mustang to race it. :eek:

you get what you pay for, and that is where any mustang shines, GT or V6.

i dont understand why people have to even think about it that way. The v6 is the fastest new car for the money PERIOD. Why would you compare a base model to the next level up OF COURSE ITS GOING TO BE **** IN COMPARISON. That's like saying why would anyone buy a wrx not an sti...cheap for the performance it has and decent modification potential. That's as far as it has to go imo. Why compare a 19k car to a 26k car from the same company.

"why would you buy a gsxr instead of a busa?"


hmmm...

i just dont see how you can say save up for the v8. Thats like me saying save up for the gt500. It's one of the best cars for the money, just like the gt is so when you have that price range, its a good car to pick.

I would have waited for the V8 then. If you are saying to yourself, i really want a mustang, but all i can afford NOW is a 6, do yourself a favor and wait for the 8. If you are asking yourself That qoustion, you would be second quessing yourself. When i see a thread like this,it makes me think that they are looking for people to make them feel like they made a good decision, when really deep down inside, they wanted an 8.

Everyone is gonna hate because you didn't buy the GT but personally I wouldn't give a crap if I were you. If you find a nice '99-'04 v6 for a good price, I say go for it man. If I were you though I would buy a high mileage v8.

There does seem to be a lot of insecurity amoung the 6 crowd......except for those few guys in the SS section that have gone the turbo route :D

Here we goo. I truly hope you are referring to a Stock GT asshat. READ MY SIG!!! I would beat a GT500. Ohhh, they put down 500 Crank HP, have about 450-460 to the wheels, they weigh hundreds of lbs. more. I'll stop right here before I say some mean things. I never said anything bad about a V6.

it will never be a performance car. Its a good daily driver / chick car... it is not nor was it ever ment to be anything more

look at it this way....

just think of a v6 like a retard. they try as hard as they can but still fail, but you gotta give me credit for trying.

That's not the point. While this guy pops out and brings in GT500. Ok, he wants to throw stones, a GT500 is about 2-3 seconds faster then a V6 and barely 1 second faster then a GT. I know the feeling of owning 4Cyl. and what not. I've had my share.

LOL......Mgirl....you have that Turbo Forrester don't you. The mags post specs on that thing that aren't very far off a GT :eek:

Trust me.. I love my Stang as much as the next guy and i think it performs very well. But when i say 'piss slow' i am obviously not comparing it too the average sedan or import.... I mean compared to other 'performance' vehicles it somewhat lacks..

I know its a 14.0-13.8 car stock(if your lucky) but in comparison to other 'performers' that is nothing to be proud of.

I love thinking of the Mustang heritage any time i see any on the road whether its a V6 or a Terminator. You shouldnt look down on another just because you think he is not 'elite' for having 2 less cylinders.

I agree that i would never buy a stang with a 6 in it.... But that doenst give me the right to look down on any others.

maybe the way you drive? average is 13.5 and some excellent drivers in good conditions have gotten down to 13.2 (and even onat at 13.1)

2ndly.. there isn't a single car in its price range with that much HP.. take a look at sti and 350z those were my 2 other cars i compared to before purchasing.. and GT won on, looks and cool sound and lower price.

now on topic, v6 is for ppl who don't want to drive fast but love the way the mustang looks (usually chicks, queers, old ppl) [&:] or ppl who can't afford a gt (like they have to save a couple years just to afford the v6)

yeah but the v6s just looks ugly. its not about baggin on someone cause they have 2 less cylinders. its cause theyre posers. well, most of em are. but thats how it is now, no one to blame but those dicks. and a mustang was produced as a "pony car". it wasnt for a family sedan to cruise around in. it was fords' sports car. v8 was the only way to go. and now there is so many v6s out there that mustang made a new name for itself. basically in a nutshell, mustang demoted itself by producing v6s. cause now its just another "beater" car. and since we have all these posers and dicks with v6s, it ruins the reps for the true v8 stang owners too.

please, please, pleeeeeasssse... I'm not trying to start any debate (I didn't start this thread as a debate, just some honest opinions).... but,for something to be demoted, i would think it already has to be in existence, not originally created. you have to remember the first mustang wasthe170 straight six. i think ford's original idea was to make a decent, sporty car appealing to everyone, yetwith very reasonable accessibility. then the v8s came along and thencarroll shelby came along and changed everything - for the better. yes,i respect thev8 much more in terms of power and performance, but you can't forget where the evolutionand original idea of the mustang came from.

what do you mean the new v6 mustang is ugly? the body looks exactly the same to me...

or do you mean the engine itself is ugly? in that case... ppl who buy v6s likely don't care what their engine looks like.. they are more interested in external appearance.. i honestly dont care what my engine looks like either.. it could look like some kid put together his first erector (sp?) set. as long as its reasonably fast :)

you gotta start off slow and build your way up. they started with the straight 6 then introduced the v8. so imo, you cant upgrade then degrade. thats just shotting yoursefl in the foot. im finished. i gave my opinion, (i DONT like v6s AT ALL), and thats all you asked for. thanks you.

Yeah sigh...too bad the V6 makes up over 60-70% of the sales for the mustang. Without it gosh there would be no more mustang because there wouldn't be enough money in it to keep Ford interested in making it. So, like the V6 or not, you're stuck with it as part of the line-up.

Personally, I don't think ANY mustang 1985+ should have an auto tranny but..those make up 70% of sales for mustangs in general. Ifa manual tranny was the only option, I doubt the mustang would be as popular.

OMG I could just lump all V8 owners into the dumber than rocks group sincemost of you missed my obvious point but I won't cos not all v8 owners are dumbarses.

I currently own a V6 and have for the last 8 years. Love the car and it's been pretty damn reliable even though I beat on it. I'm debating between an 08F-150 4x4 Lariat crew cab or a GT500 since it's my turn for a new car now, I can't do both. Wife has had two in the last seven years. Now I could do an 08 V6 stang and the 08 F-150, I might even be able to do a regular GT and the F-150 but even if I could, I wouldn't. I've driven the GT and I've driven the GT500, no comparison and I don't want to buy a GT just to "plan" to mod it and make into what I wanted in the first place. If I buy the V6 it's because I'll give it to my daughter or son in a few years as their first car.

Point is, V6 is a great car and a good way to get introduced to the mustang family. Except for the occassional Billy-bob redneck in the Camaro that still thinks it's the best car GM sells (not past tense), or the dumber than a rock Mustang GT owner that can't quite seem to comprehend basic analogies it's all good.

my response to a reply from a similar thread:

ORIGINAL: jrherald420

hahahaha itis posted in the for sale section.. so is that what happend??? chewed up and spit out?????? hahahaha i understand i once was a v-6 owner. always felt like i had to defend my ride cause it was a 6

i dont speak for anyone else here, but i never "defend my ride" regardless of what engine it has. i use common sense to attack back. cock-ass GT owners (it usually only happens with GT owners, rarely ever cobra or other "specialty" mustang owners), think that theyre car is gods gift to the world, for who knows what reason... i mean the GT is slow, get over it. anyway, if you look through the timeline of the mustang, the v6 option was always there, except for those late fox years. the v6 mustang was the one that carried the mustang name through production by supporting the model line in sales to keep it in existance. when you drive the car, you represent the name of the car, and the manufacturer, not the engine size. at the end of the day, its the same car, regardless of the engine size and performance options. but instead GT owners would rather say "v6's are gay", "v6's are worthless", "why buy a v6? its not a real mustang". i say when did you decide that the size of your engine determines the authentication of your car? you say "mustangs are the best", but as soon as someone buys a v6 you look at them like theyre the scum of the earth, and others even say "go drive a camaro/honda/some other pos instead".

lets look at it from the other end of the spectrum. when you see a civic drive down the street, if its not an SI, you dont say "oh thats not a civic, its just a pos". you acknowledge the car for the name of it, not what is under the hood. you dont see a 3rd generation camaro coming at you from the other direction half a mile away and say "thats not a real camaro, its not a v8". why? because you view the car equally regardless of what engine it has in it. and since when does the car automatically change in authentication once you realize what engine it has?

Eitherway, who cares if it's V6 or V8 no matter what you buy there will always be something faster/better. The whole, attitude of "don't buy a mustang unless it's a V8" is lame. Buy what you want, stop bitchin' if you didn't, and if you did buy a V8 whoopty-doo, so what.




LOL!!!

are you trying to make the V8 look lame?

V8s just sound better than the sixxers.



TIME TO GET ALL PISSED FOR THAT NAO!!!![:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]



OMG I could just lump all V8 owners into the dumber than rocks group sincemost of you missed my obvious point but I won't cos not all v8 owners are dumbarses.

I currently own a V6 and have for the last 8 years. Love the car and it's been pretty damn reliable even though I beat on it. I'm debating between an 08F-150 4x4 Lariat crew cab or a GT500 since it's my turn for a new car now, I can't do both. Wife has had two in the last seven years. Now I could do an 08 V6 stang and the 08 F-150, I might even be able to do a regular GT and the F-150 but even if I could, I wouldn't. I've driven the GT and I've driven the GT500, no comparison and I don't want to buy a GT just to "plan" to mod it and make into what I wanted in the first place. If I buy the V6 it's because I'll give it to my daughter or son in a few years as their first car.

Point is, V6 is a great car and a good way to get introduced to the mustang family. Except for the occassional Billy-bob redneck in the Camaro that still thinks it's the best car GM sells (not past tense), or the dumber than a rock Mustang GT owner that can't quite seem to comprehend basic analogies it's all good.

That's well put ARdoller but the Cock ARSE GT owner you're trying to reach won't get that explanation. Remember..dumb as a rock. The only thing that gets a rise is the "Why buy a GT instead ofa GT500?" question, then I get the whole "well I modded my gt to beata sotck GT500 thing".

I like to stir shiz up when it comes to the GT owners that fit the bill. Easy to spot and easy to play :D

Eitherway, I think we both agree, ever Mustang has its niche. Without the V6 the V8 wouldn't still exist. Without an auto tranny option the Mustang wouldn't exist. I hate auto trannies and feel that an automatic Mustang is just a farce of a car but I don't go hatin' on auto owners. A Mustang is made to be driven, not drive you.

Fair enough. Everyone has their opinions. Any car can be made fast. It's simple, I don't like the price tag on a GT500. I have plenty of money to buy one, but, I feel strongly about my money, and where it goes. So, I bought a car for 20K less, invested 4K into it, and have a faster car already. Sure, I don't have the big bad Shelby, but who needs it. Now, some people have said the V6 is plain gay. I haven't. Understand I'm not just a dumb V8 owner. Let's just get a few things straight. Sure, the V6 has carried the mustang name, but if you did not know what a Mustang is famous for, then I have no idea what to tell you. This can be a very long thread, with a lot of bickering about what model is better. V6 owners love their V6, GT owners love their GT. Most GT have driving V6's. Most V6's owners, at least the people I know, did not waste their time driving a GT. So, in turn, they defend a one sided battle about how great the V6 is. Gas mileage is not all that different. I put down over 500HP, yet average 20MPG. I pay 200 a month for insurance, for two people, maximun coverage, 250 deductibles, through State farm, and I am under 25. Insurance is not an issue. Maybe it's the cost of the GT.HMMM, you could get a new one with leather, for 25K. About 5k more then a V6. Most guys here were not bashing the V6, yet most of you took it personally. So, let's drop the whole, my V6 is better then your piss slow GT, and my GT is better then your Torque monster V6, and so on. Happy new Years Fellow MF'ers!!

see, at least you can post a thread expressing your opinion without being a dick about it. well done man. ;)

i'm just curious to see how many ppl respect the v6 and the mustang itself as a whole, not how many ppl claim their GT is faster... go back to 3rd grade... 300 hp (GT)> 210 hp (v6)... dee dee dee. tell us something we don't know dumbasses.

as i mentioned earlier, i have driven an 01' GT, and a 00' ls1 camaro ss. don't flame me for this (i respect and likechevy too unlike some ford ppl [&:]) but the ls1 totally owns any new edge mustang GT stock for stock and it cost about the same. even tho i like the camaro, i just prefer the mustang - good luck working on a camaro as easy as a gt or v6 mustang tho. i ended up with av6 because of circumstance, yet i will love it til the day idie.

my mustang II was a V6 car...... until i brought it home.

now let me rephrase exactly what you just said in reference to the v6, for one of the reasons why people choose a v6 over a GT:

when I was ready to buy my first car, I wanted a new edge V6, just because I loved the way they looked. These days, I had my preferences. I agree with the V6 owners. If it was not for them, us GT owners would not have what we do now.

Derf- You have my apologies for coming off as a dick. If someone has a problem with a V6, and owns a mustang, you don't deserve to own one. As everyone has made clear here, a V6 mustang is still a mustang!!!

Trust me.. I love my Stang as much as the next guy and i think it performs very well. But when i say 'piss slow' i am obviously not comparing it too the average sedan or import.... I mean compared to other 'performance' vehicles it somewhat lacks..

I know its a 14.0-13.8 car stock(if your lucky) but in comparison to other 'performers' that is nothing to be proud of.

I love thinking of the Mustang heritage any time i see any on the road whether its a V6 or a Terminator. You shouldnt look down on another just because you think he is not 'elite' for having 2 less cylinders.

I agree that i would never buy a stang with a 6 in it.... But that doenst give me the right to look down on any others.


maybe the way you drive? average is 13.5 and some excellent drivers in good conditions have gotten down to 13.2 (and even onat at 13.1)

2ndly.. there isn't a single car in its price range with that much HP.. take a look at sti and 350z those were my 2 other cars i compared to before purchasing.. and GT won on, looks and cool sound and lower price.

now on topic, v6 is for ppl who don't want to drive fast but love the way the mustang looks (usually chicks, queers, old ppl) [&:] or ppl who can't afford a gt (like they have to save a couple years just to afford the v6)


Ill put it in plain.... simple... english for you. Did you not look at my sig? Notice i do not have a S197?

It is impossible to acheive those times in a 99-04 GT stock.

Corvettes are doing pretty good for being a V8 only option[8D]

ORIGINAL: Derf00

ORIGINAL: 07GrabberMustangGT

I think you should reconsider your reply. They are Piss slow stock? I really hope you are not referring to a GT. Think about it. You own an SN-95, New Edge. Compared to an S197, your car is piss slow. It does matter V6 or V8. do you want speed, or cruising power. Sure, gas is cheaper, less expensive. But, you don't buy a V6 for speed. It will take more money for a V6 to be faster then a GT, rather then a GT being even faster.

Piss Slow. hahahaha. Redass is funny....



A GT500 trumps your GT. [8D]A GT is piss slow compared to a GT500...Hell go buy a GT500 you damn GT wussy. Damn poser buying a non GT500.


Thats a retarded arguement.

The 2-3k difference in price for a V6 and a GT isn't nearly as big as the 25+ difference between the GT500 and GT.

ORIGINAL: ayrton02


very well and simply put man. ;)Â*i love my 6, considering my age, income, current goals in life - finishingÂ*college so i'll have enough $$$$$$ to get just about anything i damn well please.Â* for now and under realistic circumstances (for me)Â*i couldn't be happier.Â* it could be much worse.


Thanks for speaking for our demographic, not everyone on this site makes the dough needed to buy a GT.

I don't need to justify my V6 to people I meet on the street, most of them don't even care about the engine, they just care about how good the looks of the car are. I could've bought a 99-04 GT with the 12K I spent on my S197, but the styling on my 2005 was far more superior in my mind than 2 more cylinders on one of those cars ever will be to me.

Bottom line, I bought the Mustang to be apart of American history and tradition. My first car is something I am proud of, something I worked hard and long to get. Thats all, no need to fight to change some people's minds. Most of the mature ones here who do own GTs (thats most of you), I thank you for not degrading what I own, I appreciate when you protect us...your little brother;)

I have only two things to say about this.

1) I can't believe that this thread was started yet again. The only reason for it was to stir up more crap. This "I just wanted to hear what you had to say and talk about it" is complete BS.

2) If there was no such thing as a 4 cylinder or V6 Mustang, there would be no such thing as a Mustang GT, or a GT500, or an SVT Cobra. Or a Boss 302, or an LX 5.0, or a 429 Cobra Jet, or any other notable or even not so notable V8 Mustang. Not then, not now, not ever. You dumbasses don't seem to be able to get that through your thick skulls when you start these stupid threads.

Can't argue with that. So are Vipers and certain Porsches. I doubt Ford would enter that niche, and if they did, itwouldn't have nearly as muchheritage, so you probably wouldn't want it and you probably couldn't afford it anyway as a daily driver.

I don't know squat about porsches, but the 928 was one. The Viper is a V10. That's really not the point, the point is that a purely performance Mustang, if it existed at all, would likely be priced 20 to 40K more than it is.

This is stupid. A mustang is a mustang.
One is faster than the other.
One is more expensive than the other.

If you can't afford the faster one then you get the slower one. (unless you buy used)
I don't have any lack of respect for a V6.
I've never noticed these "dicks" people speak of that drive V6's.

Alot of people think if you have a mustang that's not a 5 spd V8 then you suck.
I don't get it.

What happened to the Camaro and the Firebird? The high-perf editions could roast the Mustang. But GM couldn't sell enough V6s to sustain production. No one wanted a poor quality butt-ugly car that wasn't ungodly fast, and not enough people wanted a poor quality butt-ugly car that was that fast. So they're gonna start making them again. Anyone have an idea of what one will cost, V8 or V6? Case closed.

:D:D:Dyes, yes, yes... soooo true, some ppl need to drive a ls1 camaro ss... stock... still a beast :D:D:D, still the ss is no comp for the terminator or gt500. i just like the mustang a lil morebecause it looks better imo and is easier to work on than just about any fourth gen. camaro.

as for the new camaro, idk how much they are gonna cost, but they will probably be the hot **** for about 5 yrs. and level out back to the mustang. the camaro will never be as fast as a cobra as long as the corvette is around... and i don't see that going away anytime soon.

I haven't ready any of these posts but every V6 owner I know has an excuse on why they own a v6 and not a v8.

as for the new camaro, idk how much they are gonna cost, but they will probably be the hot **** for about 3 yrs. and then be discontinued again because no one will be able to afford the markup on the V8, and GM will lose their ass trying to price theV6 to compete with the Mustang V6 and the rest of the Japanese and German horde.

hahahahahha... i wanted to be nice, plus i'm not creative enough to come up with something that good. the new camaro will be nice, but i'm almost positive it will be overpriced (both v8 and v6)and that will bite it in the ass sooneror later.

I personally will never own a "performance" vechicle other than a v8- the sound, the torque- its all things I want in my fun car.

However, for a daily driver, it is all about efficiency, mileage, ease, and somewhat of a cool factor. I would have no qualms about having an auto v6 mustang as a daily driver. I don't mind other people with that either. What I DO mind is people who try to make the cars what they aren't- true performance vehicles.

I will drive a geo metro everyday, as long as I got a proper tire roaster in the garage to pull out and romp on whenever I want to.

Yeah I have no doubt that even the base level V8 Camaro will be something I would love to own, unfortunately I'm sure it will suffer the fate of the GT500; even if the factory price is reasonable,the dealer markup will put it completely out of range for us average schmoes. I wouldn't be surprised if theysell for more $$than Vettes for at least the first year or so.

But to bring the conversation back full circle, the reason that the Mustang has remained successful is because Ford has been able to supply a basic car that is appealling with the mystic at a price and at a volume that meets the supply-demand curve without causing a huge disruption to availability and affordability.

You won't hear me say a bad word about a 6'er most of the time. Except when I'm talking schitt. One of the best cars I ever had was a 65 200cid 6'er. 28 mpg, 4 speed Dagenham (POS) and 3.30ish gears = a great ride.

Some earlier posts have asked "Why not get a nicer V6 and there is certainly validity to that question. For me it comes downto cool. Yeah, a V6 Camery (sp?) is a "nicer" ride and yes the fit and finish is light years ahead of the Mustang but, .....hmmm. Where was I going with this?

And most of us here don't understand the Mustang V6 and those that drive them because most people that buy them arenot pure fanatics like us that buy V8s and mod them, and so they suredon't join message boards to talk about their cars. :eek: I mean, let's face it, whether we drive 4 bangers, V6s, or V8s, posters hererepresent the 10% sickest of all Mustang owners. [&:]

I love my sixer, dont get me wrong. But i cant ****ing wait for my cobra.

I love when people who aren't in the V6 crowd think they know every single opinion and think that they can talk about every single V6 mustang-owning person out there....I can talk for the V6 crowd b/c I'm in it.
I don't make assumptions about the V8 b/c I'm not a V8 owner....

I like my car, it's a mustang. I'm not an idiot and go beserk on the streets w/ it and think it is the fastest thing that ever hit the streets....somehow some people think that??:eek:

Asking someone why they bought a V6 instead of a GT is like asking a GT owner why he didn't buy a Mach 1, or why a Mach owner didn't buy a Cobra, or why a Cobra owner didn't by a GT500. It's a stupid debate that goes nowhere. People have budgets and ifeveryone kept saying, "For just a few more thousand dollars,I can upgrade" to a better stang", well then everyone would be in over there heads financally. Give it a rest people, and stop acting like pricks to people with less powerful models. Honestly, who gives a sh**?

what is it about old cars that makes them comfortable? The chevelle, Nova, and impy i rode in were the only cars Ive ever slept in without feeling like crap after




and about fit, and finish- my old accord , a 94, had Id say a near- equvilent interior to my mustang. the Jetta and G6 I looked at had better ones. why choose the mustang? think about it. and i can tell my kids when i have them in 10 years how I had a cool first car....andthey will prolly use that against me when they turn 16

I bought what I wanted to buy. I don't live my life by what anyone else thinks.

the corvette got by fine because it was always looked at as the 2-seat sports coupe that was built with no intention but for performance. the mustang wasnt even designed to be a performance vehicle until carrol shelby jumped in in 67. and even then only the shelby models were considered performance vehicles. the mustang has been nothing more than a "family car" first. thats why corvettes and vipers get away with being v8-only models.

thats also the reason why every mopar muscle car went extinct. they didnt offer anything smaller than a base model v8. they were no different than mustangs or camaros, just a little bigger. they were also family cars. yes they sold, but not enough to keep sales up because they didnt offer a smaller v6/4cyl engine to the people that wanted nothing more than that.

+10. Well spoken. But then again... im just a girl so what does my opinion matter! HAHAHAHHA

you should be more offended by that comment than the guys on here. to be lead to think that a car is classified as a girls car because of the engine size in it.

until i was about 5yrs old, my mom owned a 67 4spd 4bbl Chevelle SS since she was 16. so is that now a girls car because a woman drove it? just because women primarly bought a certain car doesnt classify it as a girls car.

do you call men who race Miatas in small-car circuits women? i dont think so.

Hahahahahah. im not actually a girl. I was making fun of steve. lol

i love my v8, and i personally would never own a v6 stang unless i had a weekend warrior v8 in the garage, but to the people who are saying that the mustang was designed as a muscle/sport/pony/omfgitsamansonly car you should really look into it a little more....unless im mistaken, which i dont believe i am, the original mustang was designed as a secretary car... so technically, a v6 would be more true to heritage than a v8 of any model...if any thing the sixxer owners should look down on the gt owners for veering off of the original intent for a mustang! ...... v8 ftmfw

like ardoller said, the mustang wouldn't still be alive if it wasn't for cheaper base models... think about it, you go out for a drive, how many sixxer stangs do you see compared to gt's? alotttt more. Look in your autotrader, youll see a bunch more sixxers than gt's. I don't know the stats off hand, but im going to assume that sixxers outsell gt's. In my school their are 7 mustangs. Guess how many are GT's? 1.

According to the web, my '05 Torch Red GT Vert is one in 429. :)

...um, Carroll Shelby said the original mustang was a secretary's car...
its not like fomoco designers sat down and were like, lets design a car specifically for secretaries!

I think it is just like any other car, it will get you to point A and B but some will get you there faster.;)

yea, they sat down and said lets make a muscle car that is sooooo much more powerful than anything else, hey lets give it six cylinders and barely any power at all! ..... "v8 mustangs are the only real mustangs, v6 are a disgrace to the heritage of mustangs" please, people need to get off their high horse and realize that the original mustangs were not some ****in huge high HP muscle machine....matching the heritage of a mustang to a powerful v8 car is just incorrect

Sixxers are just..blah:eek:

I say just buy whatever you want, most of the time i actually don't give a **** lol

for those of you that think that im arguing the topic because my car is a v6, are all misled. i would much rather drive a v8 mustang, but its not because i dont like the v6, or think that a v6 in a mustang isnt meant to be.

like i said, the v6 has been around since the start. but on a side subject, all you guys that would live and die for a v8 think v6's suck. you have to realize that 1, your stock GT is slow too. 265hp isnt much. neither is the 300 anymore with newer cars like what Infinity, Chrysler, and the new camaro and challenger are putting out. second off, yes the v6 is a slow car, but you get what you pay for. the V6 is not a $35,000 car. and i am referring to any model between 99-09 and upwards. you have to keep in mind that there is a true aftermarket for these cars. its not like you pay $35,000-$50,000 for a V6 luxury car that companies like Lexus and Infinity put out that have no aftermarket available. plus when you pay that much for a car, its already tuned to run at its highest potential.

Ford builds and tunes mustangs, both V6 and V8 to a very low level so they can sell them at a competitive price, with the assumption that people that want more power will go the aftermarket route. i assure you that if there was no aftermarket for mustangs, they'd probably build them more powerful to stay ontop of the competition.

which leads me to my next point. again when you guys say the v6 is weak and slow, youre right, it is slow, but most definitely not weak. the 3.8 block was built very strong and can withstand just as and even more hp that a 4.6 and a 5.0, and they respond better to modification.

you have to realize that Ford didnt build the v6 with intention of it being a "pussy" car. they built it with the intention of it selling at a low cost with maximum profit gain. you have to also realize that you need a car like that to be able to stay in competition with the rest of the car market.

if i wanted a v6 sports car i would get a 350z

8 id get the mustang..

My mom has actually owned nicer cars than my dad in the past. She had a '60s Camaro with a 350/4spd and later a '72 Stingray with the same combo. My dad during the same time period owned a POS Toyota followed by a late '70s Chevy pickup.

hahahhahaha.... yeah, the whole thing that... "v6 engine (when i have a v8) = girly ass car" is moronic. this guy at my college has att350z that is putting outover 550rwhp. withsome similar work a v6mustang can have similar potential.

to me, i just started this topic not b/c i feel insecure about my car, but i just want to see ifactual "mustang people" really like a mustang no matter what engine it has. some of it is disappointing and just ignorant statements. but amajority, even the GT owners have expressed their opinions with some intelligence. ;)

My friend has a 93 with a 4 banger, when he brings it into autos I'm always like HEY, SOMEONE STOLE 4 OF YOUR CYCLINDERS !!! or hey, your missing a few cyclinders.

i love my v6... why did i get it? cuz i didnt know anything about cars when i bought it

it was beautiful red and it sounded alot better than the minivan i had been driving... and i could afford it and the insurance.. now that i know about cars i'll be getting a gt sooner or later.. but not till i can afford it

thats also the reason why every mopar muscle car went extinct. they didnt offer anything smaller than a base model v8. they were no different than mustangs or camaros, just a little bigger. they were also family cars. yes they sold, but not enough to keep sales up because they didnt offer a smaller v6/4cyl engine to the people that wanted nothing more than that.


Wrong. There were Slant Six (inline six) engines in Barracudas, Chargers and Challengers. In fact, the '71 Barracuda had a 225 and a 170 CI Slant Six as an option... along with a 440-6 Barrel and a 426 Hemi.

What killed the Chrysler muscle car is what killed all the other muscle cars in the '70's: Gas prices and insurance rates. The only surviving "performance cars" in the mid 70's were the Mustang, Camaro, Trans Am and Corvette - and those were LOOSELY labeled performance cars at the time (with tame V8s after 1973) - and the Mustang / Camaro offered small V6 power plants as well. Chrysler wanted to concentrate on large sedans, mid-size "personal luxury cars" (i.e., "Cordoba") and wagons, and simply gave up on the Barracuda / Challenger muscle platforms as not being viable (even though they offered six cylinder engines).

Ironically, the two fastest American production cars in the mid-70's were BOTH Chrysler products (Dodge Monaco/Plymouth Fury and the Dodge Big Red Express... which was a TRUCK), and both smoked the Mustang, Camaro, Trans Am and 'Vette at the time.

i gave up after page 2 lol but ill say what i gotta say.

Look guys its like this for me. For a long time i look down upon v6 mustangs as inferior and lame. I bought a 95 gt and im pretty happy with it. Anywho. I went car shoping a while ago and saw a beautiful looking 2006. It was grey with a gt front, black shaker hood, rear spoiler black, duel exhaust, tourqe thrust rims,full leather, shaker 1000 the whole kitten kabuttul.

I was not looking for asix but i had NEVER driven a s197 before and this is a very new and hot car. I took it for a spin with the salesman and i was very impressed. I only opened it up once towards the end of the trip but i didnt care. As i cruised around town inthis sexy beast heads turned left and right admiring, v6 badges glowing brightly. There was nothing but pride to drive a car like that no shame in it being a v6 and not the v8. you know why?

Becuase it was extreamly SEXY!! with nogoitation this car was going for 18k with 16k miles on it.

IF i had made the leap i would not have been ashamed becuase it was an all American sex mobile.

good choice

IMHO If you want the "look of a mustang" like most sixxer drivers do, get a ****ing v8


if you want good gas mileage/cheaper insurance blahdy blahdy blah get something else

To OP:
V6sare (hard pill to swallow) still Mustangs and i give them the little bit of respect for beingapart ofthe "Mustang Family"
---------
When i found out that mustang originally had a v6 out i found it no more than just interesting.
The main reason i think v6 is a "chick car" is cuz ofa simple stereotype, nothing more nothing less. When i initially see a v6 stang i think "chick car"...oh well
AlthoughI have yet to personallysee some v6s put out some serious HP, to me they still need to prove themselves for my opinion to change about them.
--------
When i was introduced to carsmy impression was like this:
Mustang = Muscle Car = V8

howevermustangs weretaken in the past before i was introduced to them, thats where it stays and the way i look at them now is based from when i got into them.

A V6 Mustang, especially'05+is a great car. I think they get a bum deal by always being compared to a GT, but that's apples and oranges. The GT isNOT a sub $20,000 car. If you look at any other sporty coupe that sells new for under 20 grand, I think they are by far the coolest car out there for the money.

me no likey the v6 mustangy= my .02

yet 70% of mustangs sold are v6s.

so?

ive rear rumors of a planned for 2010-2011 twin turbo 6 banger that would be tasty:D

like Carol Shelby said about his Shelby CS6 its closer to the roots of the original gt350 and personally i would be proud to own one set up exactly the same

They're girl cars lol .Just messin around ,I had a V6 and its an overall good performance car for beginers,nothing too fancy but I honestly loveds mine and got a lot of compliments on it.

in the town house nextdoor the daughters parents were out todayand she had some girlfriends over... one of which drove a yellow 3.8L new edgevert with exhaustwork

when I went to take out the trash they were all getting into the car and then I stopped by the GTO to bring the kitty liiter in... as I was coming back with a big surplus bag of cat litter on my shoulder,the passenger (blonde haired paris wannabedumpster with big glasses) was like "HAAAAAY!!" and I was like "suuup!" and then one of the girls in the backseat yelled "seeexxxyy!" as they left

wtf:eek:

^^LOL

They're all mustangs. If you have a V6 and are happy with it, then that's all that counts. If you aren't happy with it, then you can always get a GT. Some people just love the looks of a mustang andcould care less about what engine was in it. Others have to have the performance to go with the looks. (then there are people who will drive anything....no matter how bad it looks, if it is scary fast).

Circumstance put me into a V6 Mustang (mylate father's)and I do like it. Sentimental value will keep me in that Mustang for a while, butIsure wouldn't have minded if it had a V8.

Mostcar enthusiasts, who have the money, and who demand speed at all costs, will opt for the more performance orientated model.

I'dtake theGT over the V6 Mustang, but in no way will look down on a nice V6 Mustang. Heck, they're part of the family. Not everyone is obsessed with 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times. Some just want a good looking car to drive. Hey, that's okay too.

For newcars, you can't beat the price of a V6 Mustang for a RWD car, especially as a daily driver. The car has a simple design, large aftermarket, and low insurance costs (for me, at least). It's a damn fine car to cruise around in and tool around with. When you stop comparing it to the GT's, it's a really good car in it's own right.

The 4.0 is my favorite sounding V6 engine. It's an old design that's been around for over 10 years in it's current form, so there's a strong knowledge base among the Ford Ranger/Explorer crowd. It doesn't have the HP output of modern V6's, but it's a robust design that's easy to work with.

"...When you stop comparing it to the GT's, it's a really good car in it's own right." Exactly right Wulf. Its price puts it in a different class of car than the GT so that was never a fair comparison.

these may be a lil off but none the less. as u can see over the years theyve gotten faster. meaning give it another 10 years and v6s will have 350+ horsepower.

by then the average family car will have just as much power....but i don't think it will take ten years for a sixxer to make over three hundred, stock.;)

a lot of people can't even fit in a solistice....[&o]

Personally I don't have a problem with them, I just say the sixxer jokes because I can.:D They're pretty snappy, but it pisses me off when some of their owners think that they're the fastest thing on the planet. It's a good commuter and a nice little cruiser, but as far as speed goes, it's not going to win an award any time soon.

i wish ford would have put on some better/wider looking wheels and tires on some of the older sixxers.

I think it's stupid. If you're getting a V6 you might as well get a car that rides a little nicer. It's a mustang. And why the hell would you get a V6, it's just like another regular car, you might as well get something a little more comfy.



Thats the most retarded response that could have been said....

I think redass said it best... "Our mustangs are nothing more than a Ford Taurus(sp) with a V8 in them"

In stock form they are piss slow anyways.... So why does it matter V6 or V8?


for the record, I said they're a nice looking rwd taurus with a v8. :D

no you didn't.

YES I DID!!!!

why do you have a taurus with longtube headers?

seeeeee v6=chix car

What I've heard is that the v6 mustang is the car that has kept the mustang alive for 40+ years. It was bad enough that they tried to replacethe mustangwith a 1st generation mazda. For the price of a v6 and the options it has to offer, I think its one hell of a deal. The reason I bought a v6 was that I didnt have the credit to buy a GT. I was drooling over this black 2005 MustangGT at the dealership and I took it out for a test drive. It only had 10k miles on it andthe asking price was 25k. I tried negotiating for it but it was out of my league. The dealership said that they can make me an offer where I can get a06 v6 and use it as a stepping stone to get a GT.Either that or they can hook meup with afocus or a ranger.If you were in my shoes, which car would you choose?

What I've heard is that the v6 mustang is the car that has kept the mustang alive for 40+ years. It was bad enough that they tried to replacethe mustangwith a 1st generation mazda. For the price of a v6 and the options it has to offer, I think its one hell of a deal. The reason I bought a v6 was that I didnt have the credit to buy a GT. I was drooling over this black 2005 MustangGT at the dealership and I took it out for a test drive. It only had 10k miles on it andthe asking price was 25k. I tried negotiating for it but it was out of my league. The dealership said that they can make me an offer where I can get a06 v6 and use it as a stepping stone to get a GT.Either that or they can hook meup with afocus or a ranger.If you were in my shoes, which car would you choose?


I would've bought a chevy. [8D]

tell me you didn't actually buy into their "stepping stone" horse****....
