Default why would anyboby waist money on a v6

it just seems to me that v6 muffstains are a complete waist of money. they should not be modified at all, unless its rally stripes with a rattle can. im tired of pulling up next to these posers and ask me if i want to race. come on seriosly so your v6er has exhaust on it well it still sounds like a fat lady farting in the shower. ford should have named it the Mustake. if you are going to own one use it for economy so you can save money to get a real mustang. give it to the wife so she thinks shes cool. the next time i get pulled over and asked to race again i might just blow thier car up to save them the trouble. happy holidays everyone

they just think that they are cool cause they have a v6. the v6 was initially released for the female population (when the inline 6 first came out). the reason that the mustang is still around is because of all the V6 mustangs that are on the road. soo be greatful that the v6 mustang is around.

also, it is a car that a lot of people can afford saying the GT and more powerful models are $26k or more.

you dont need alot of money to get a real mustang. i got my piece for 4500 and an xbox 360. you just have to be patient. it took a year to find mine after the other was totaled. leave the v6 for the females

If you say that a V-6 should never be modified because you should just get a GT, then you could say the same for a GT. Why waist money modding a GT when you could just get a Cobra.

In reality, your opinion is valid....to a point. In any case, from a financial point of view, modding a car is nearly ALWAYS a bad idea no matter which one you own.

Saying that a 6'er is for chicks....well, most Mustangs built come with a six. And, what are you gonna say next near when the 6'ers are making 260 hp right out of the box....faster then your current GT.

first just because it has more horsepower doesnt mean its faster ie. diesels? comon sense says there are a limited number of cobras and yes they are not cheap, but with all of the gt's around for cheap why not? foxes can be found for next to nothing, in most cases sn95's can be cheaper than the fox bodied cars, the new edge mustangs have really went down in price since the 197's came out. so why not, when their readily available. plus with the added cost of insurance it will keep you from eating out as much. just think you could be more heathy with a v8.

Diesels don't make a lot of hp....they make a lot of torque.

Sure, hp does not mean everything, but hopefully you got the just of what I was saying.

I think a better way to put what you were saying is that there are financial limits of what should be considered before starting to mod a car depending on what the car is. Me....personally, I would not sink a lot of money in a v-6. Then again, if I wanted to build a drag car, I would start with a high-milage v-6 for cheap. I would be changing the motor, tranny, and suspension anyway.

As far as fox bodies are concered. Cheap cars, for sure, but hard to find a nice one.

diesels do make gobs of horse power, 485whp for 1300 dollars. i agree with you, but with the money these people dump into ther 6ers they can afford a gt. its not that im pissed there is v6's made dont go out and pretend they are real mustangs. AND FOR GODS SAKE DONT PUT EXHAUST ON THEM. the only thing worse than a ricer is a clapped out muffstain that sounds like a ricer.

Blame the driver of the car, not the car....'tard

You're probably just suffering from PTS disorder because you gave in and raced the punk in the 6 and lost.


And just for the sake of argument, almost every GT in my area was no less than twice the cost of my V6, it is improbable to find a GT for under $8,000 that is in decent condition..

how can you blame a car? i think that flrida sun is getting to youtard anyways it was more directed at the owner anyways "you". now im not saying that you go around posing to be a real car. now if you are useing it to get back and forth to flip burgers i understand. but uh hey if you info for a v8 just let me know that your ready for a real car.

How can you blame a car? Well since it's blatantly obvious that most of your insults are directed towards the V6 Mustang itself and not the people who try to race GT's (as you call "real cars"), I guess that's how you can be blaming the car.

look dude i know its hot down there in pcola so im going to s l o w i t d o w n for you, you cant blame a car, you blame the owner, or the guy who decided to build them. dont get me wrong they are good for FEMALES. go back and try and quote me where i said its the poor cars fault. anyways dude like i said before be patient and good things will come. look farther down the street than just your block. they are out there. like i said before i picked up my 2000 gt for 4500 it just needs buffed and a set of matching rims. other than that its a very clean car. 65000 on the ticker. just be patient.

Statements like that go to show how ignorant you are. Mustangs have a long iconic history, starting with I6 engines in 1964. They were designed to be affordable, economic, sporty cars marketed to middleclass americans. V8s were a novelty. So the V6ers you seem to have so much disrespect for are MORE of a real mustang than your GT. I've owned 7 mustangs, and still have 3 of them. I've had a '78 Mustang II (2.3L 4cyl, still have it), '82 (2.3L 4cyl, 1st car), '95 (V6, 5spd), '00 (V6, auto), '02 GT (White, auto), '04 Mach1 (5spd, still have it), and finally another '02 GT (Mineral Grey, auto, my DD), and all of them were and still are REAL MUSTANGS. If its a Ford production car with Mustang stamped on it somewhere, then its a REAL MUSTANG.

I've seen Civics with mustang body kits, those are FAKE MUSTANGS.

I think someone on here with a v6 has a 9 second time slip...a lot faster than most V8's.

4 seconds is impossible with any production built car

If it weren't for V6 mustangs, GTs would have gone the way of the camaros and TAs. GM never learned that lesson, and now they are gone. If you can't grasp that concept, maybe a visual chart would help:

2003 Production Numbers

Here's the numbers:
V6 Coupe - 59943
V6 Convertible - 26500
GT Coupe - 26238
GT Convertible - 15518
Centennial Coupe - 717
Centennial Convertible - 1323
Cobra Coupe - 6600
Cobra Convertible - 4110
Mach1 - 9652

TOTAL - 150,601 Units

For just this one year, Ford manufactured over 86,000 V6 mustangs, thats 57% of the years production. GTs 27%, centennial 2%, Cobras 7%, Mach1 7%.

Numbers like these are also why you can find SN95s and New Edge SN95s for $4500.

And seriously, how bad of a problem is there with V6 stangs harassing you for a race. Give me a break. I guess if your cruising the high schools for chicks, then maybe.

You should check out this "slow" sixer,

https://mustangboards.com/v6-tech-fo...f-my-turd.html

oh, sorry, according to you, it not a "real mustang," so nevermind, I'm sure your GT could beat it, cuz afterall, its only a V6.

look ive owned a few as well 71' coupe 351 windsor 4spd, 82' hatch 5.0 4spd, 95' gt 5spd and now a 00' gt 5spd. im glad you saw the light and got some v8's. the strait 6 in the mustang did not make it popular, it was the light weight, good handling. if you look for a classic mustang its hard to find a I6 for a reason. everybody and their dog put v8's in them. why you ask? because it was a slug with the I 6. i didnt say dont make them. i said save them for the females and point a to b. dont waist you money modifying them. as for the tard in florida, you need to pay attention when you read. nowhere did i say PRODUCTION anywhere. i said top fuel. oh yeah i dont see any in NASCAR, do you? oh yeah the high school remark. i liked it it was funny. although it was not that long ago i was there ive since been married. so no need to look for high school nookie. you cant say youve never seen them. there is a few on here. im not talking kids doing this full grown men. but im sorry if your one of those v6 sadists, im sorry i hurt your feelings. i should be a little more thaughtful next time

Ugh, bringing up purpose built engines for non-streetable drag engines and race cars is entirely irrelevant in this conversation.
Therefore trying to mix production built engines with purpose built engines isn't helping your argument at all.

everybody and their dog put v8's in them. why you ask? because it was a slug with the I 6.
BTW, most of the standard V8 Mustangs back in the early 60s' were ALSO slugs, even with V8s, sorry to burst your bubble..

You should have boughten a Camaro, your mentality is much alike to the stereotypical Camaro owner.

W/e dude, your right, I'm so wrong, thanks for showing me the light, I think I'm going to try to introduce legislation outlawing anyone non female from anything but a V8.

I feel so, so, so, so.....so corrected now, thank you.

about the centennial. ford celebrated it 100 years. they had a mustang, a focus, a taurus, a super duty, and a explorer. they were all limited production. they could only be baught in black. the numbers he said were wrong. 3000 of each except the exploreer and the taurus there were 4000 of them. you also got some complementry **** with them as well

He said they have just as much if not more potential than a V8, I know how to read, and if you knew how you read you would have checked out the link with the 9 SECOND V6 MUSTANG. Must have a shitload of potential if it's pushing 9 seconds with 6 cylinders, wouldn't you say?
