Completely agree, quick but not fast. Tops out pretty quick but it is a heavy car! 3300+ pounds right? With today's gas prices a six shooter is plenty. I put a CAI /tuner in mine from John Demolet at Tunable Induction and got Doug at B a m a ' s race tune and it has a nice rumble! Plenty sporty. Also what is fun about it is that a lot of cars want to race it. A lot of cars can beat it too but the whole thing is that there is something about the Stang that brings out that desire in people. I mean, who wants to race a Camry, you know? And again the cars that can beat it are generally at least $10K more. Fastest (and best looking without a doubt) car under $20K works for me.

with some modding it can be quick and fast all depends on how deep your pocket is. Buckman's is sick as hell

Fastest car under 20k, and faster than many of the past Mustang GT's. I do think the V6 Mustang is underrated.

I agree. For $20,000 I can't think of anything in a 6cyl.
For $30,000 easily the MonteCarlo and subaru would put up a good fight.

Although not "fast", I would consider it "peppy" as well. I think it is the best option under 20,000 by a LONG shot. Not only do you get a sweet-looking car, you get a VERY upgradable car. A lot of people say on here that we don't get a lot of aftermarket support, and that's true to a certain extent; but the fact is we get more aftermarket support than a lot of those other competing cars in this price range just because it's a Mustang.
Another thing that is great about our cars is that it has proven itself to stand up VERY well to generous amounts of forced induction, something a lot of those competing cars probably couldn't do. This engine is quite sturdy right from the factory. This offers a power upgrade path for those who want to add some pep to their stangs. Adding FI makes our cars very quick, quicker than most on the road, all for a very reasonable price when compared to anything that can keep up with them.

In the 60's muscle car times we thought those cars were quick. However, at the track I have taken on 1968 and 1969 GTO's fully restored to stock and beat them heads up - they are mid 14 cars. Ran against a 1970 Challenger R/T with 383 ci and drag radials and he nudged past me at the end but we were running side by side most of the way. The definition of quick or fast may be different today, but it was a surprise when I went against old muscle and then checked out the stats from "back in the day".

The v6 can hang in there with a lot of the best small blocks of the 60s. manual 0-60 in 6.5 1/4 mile 15.0 - 15.1 maybe even a little quicker than that on a nice cool day. A 66 chevy II 327/350 ran 0-60 in 7.1 and 1/4 mile in 15/1 @ 93 mph .The hi po mustang 289/271 was slower than than the chevy II.

I like this thread.Gives some real perspective.The bar is always rising and there is something addictive about power and i prefer to remain ignorant to the faster stuff firsthand or i may be poor forever,lol-

The fact that a new Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Mazda 6, Audi A4, Pontiac G6/G8, Chevy Impala, and many other sedans, are all just as fast, if not faster than an '05-'08 V6 is the glaring reason why I don't consider this car fast.
i disagree, all of those cars are HEAVY sedans, with the exception of the a4. base for base, the mustang is wayyy faster than any of those (with the exception of the a4). i have personally roasted both the new accord and the mazda 6.
our cars are quick, im not saying theyre fast, but none of those cars, base for base, stock for stock, are faster than ours. no way. you can thow an upgraded engine into anything and it will be faster than another company's base model. the difference is our cars have a much greater potential factor than all of those cars put together.
You can disagree all you want. But I'm telling you-- V6 models of those sedans that I stated, are faster than our cars. I have no doubt that you beat and Accord, or Mazda 6, but I'll guarantee you that they were 4 cylinder models.
Here some numbers on an 07 Camry V6:
2007 Toyota Camry V-6 - Feature
Second Place: The Quickest Cars of 2007: $20,000 to $25,000
Base price: $24,160
0-to-60-mph time: 5.8 sec
Quarter-mile time: 14.3 sec @ 99 mph
Here's the 08 Accord:
Power (SAE net)
268 hp @ 6200 rpm
Torque (SAE net)
248 lb-ft @ 4700 rpm
Redline
6400 rpm
TEST DATA
Acceleration to mph
0-60
6.1 sec
Quarter mile
14.6 sec @ 97.0 mph
Here's a clip from another article about at Pontiac G6 vs a Honda Accord:
"The Accord trailed the G6 by a 10th to 60 (6.2 vs 6.3s), but the Accord was quicker through the quarter mile (14.6 @ 101.6 vs 14.8 @ 95.9)."
Both numbers-- quicker than a stock Mustang V6.
And here's a list of the quickest cars under $25,000 from Car and Driver:
The Quickest Cars of 2007: $20,000 to $25,000 - Feature
So, my point is, before this 4.0 V6 can be considered fast, stock, it better be faster than the other V6 SEDANS on this list.
I'm not arguing price here, don't get me wrong, I know the other cars on the list are more. But, if a mommy driving with 2 kids in the backseat of her new Toyota Camry can run nearly a second faster in the quarter vs. our stock V6 Mustang with a Ford Ranger engine-- then that means our cars aren't "Mustang fast."

i actually picked mine up brand new for 17k. 
15k here.
The V6 is the fastest car for the price, that is why they are made.
