2011 Mustang V6 quick review w/ dyno numbers.

1/4 in 13.7 @ 102 not bad. I wonder how it will do with the performance package?

Great now the V6 owners who always had little man syndrome with the motors can back themselves up :ugh2:

Now all the older GT owners who talked **** on the V6s are going to get theirs. I had an '02 3.8L V6 at one point in my life... 193 hp and a 16 second quarter mile. Didn't help that it was a 4 speed auto.

We are definitely faster than this car and should be compared to the V8, but I'm sure plenty of good V6 Mustang drivers are going to be whooping on the less than capable drivers among our ranks. :D

i cant see a 300hp car that weighs 3500 lbs doing 0-60 in 5.1 seconds, sounds like somebody is paying up to hype this car beyond its actual capabilities.

I guess we will have to see others try it out, maybe its because of the ancient live rear axle? I'm no expert, just stating what other people who have had mustangs say when it comes to drag racing.

Traction, that's how.

The numbers sound feasible. It all depends on how well it hooks up.

No biggie, though. As long as we're all happy with what we've got, everything's golden. :tup:

Wow. I had a '98 GT convertible. Quite possibly the most disappointing V8 of all time. Something like 220hp, 0-60 in 7.5 seconds and a 16 second quarter mile, I think. The engine sounded pretty cool though! :driving:

Nice improvement Ford.
