Default Do you think v6 mustangs are fast?

Well I have a 07 v6 mustang "pony package" and my friends always say that the v6 mustang is slow and everytime I race them, I always win and v6 mustangs are underrated for their speed. I raced a GT today and I didnt lose that bad too it. My mustang is 100% stock too. I want to get gt-take offs, but if I install them will it affect the warrenty of the car?

Well sir, you're in a V6 forum mainly about mods...so I would say if we didn't think they were fast now that we would soon after our mods[sm=badbadbad.gif]

The V6 Mustang is no race car, but it's no slouch either.

I agree that it doesn't get the props it probably deserves. I guess historically V6 Mustangs have always been slow crap-bags, and that rep is still around with the S197. I do think the S197 V6 Mustang is faster than a lot of people think it is.

But whatever, you don't buy the V6 for speed, you buy it to be a nice, reasonably performing, good looking daily-driver. My V6 is certainly fast enough to handle traffic when I'm driving around town, and really that's all I need it to do.

If you're looking to drag race and whatever, a 6-banger probably isn't the right choice of car. However, for getting around town and still getting a ton of attention at a very reasonable price, it's an excellent choice.

I call it a quick car, not a fast car. The pep is there when needed for sure.

depends on what your definition of fast is.

To me,

z06=fast
V6 Mustang= peppy.

and yes, I have the V6.

Depends on your dealer. I doubt they would notice but you should probably check first if your that worried about. If they say no you can always just go to another dealership.
