Your car will go about 132mph with a tuner, exhaust and other minor bolt ons.....that's about it for a near stock 6'r.

You also have a digital speedometer in your gage cluster where you can check trouble codes and what not too I'll find you a link:yup:

 

this is it. It's a real cool little feature

yall also have 2 different cars which the motor was changed up on, i dont know a whole lot about 6ers but my buddy has an 02 and my girl has a 97 and im pretty sure the older motor comes stock with 150 hp at the crank and the newer 190 hp at crank i think the made the new ones split port and a few other mods

 

oh i didnt know there was much of a difference between new edge and sn95 v6's

 

Yeah big differences. The heads were different, the upper/lower intakes( 94-98 singleport, 99-04 splitport) the cam was different. Also the 94-98 came with 2.73:1 rear gear and the 99-04 came with 3.27:1 rear gear.

 

That why I will try to take your old engine off your hands if you do that 5.4 swap


your engine + some rebuild work and an investment in some items from supersixmotorsports.com (stage 2 intake, heads and a cam) = a decently powered 6

 

5.4 swap?? I have a cobra now, there is no need to 5.4 swap it.

 

I was talking to intz

sorry my bad I forgot I quoted you

 

oh, well then that makes sense. I was real confused, lol.

 

off topic but have you taken it to a track yet and put down some times

 

no I haven't. I hope to soon though.

 

Is it a stick or auto, mvsix?

 

it's a super duper rare auto cobra??


you know cobras were only stick right? lol.

 

Well there are auto 03-04 cobras so I ASSUMED it was the same for 99/01s...lol. ***

What kind of gas mileage are you getting?

 

i never saw an auto 03-04 cobra.

 

False

Well I guess all of the auto cobras I've seen were swapped. **** y'all anyway! lol

 

yeah they are all swapped autos for serious drag racing usually.

Don't worry I know your not crazy making up auto cobras, lol

I get 27mpg on the highway cruising in 5th at 85mph.
In town I get like 17mpg, not great, but not enough to make me really care because of the "fun to drive" factor, lol.

 

Man, I get 13mpg city and like 24 highway. And I'm never really rough on my car, I care about it so I keep it cool.

 

how do you get 13mpg?? Like I am not beating on mine by any means, like maybe 3k-3500 or so. You must drive in some really heavy traffic.
Is your mach auto?? if so that might explain the slightly lower highway mpg.

 

5-speed, lots of lights, tons of construction all of the time. Lots of stop and go in the city.

 

oh yeah, that will kill you. I know the first week driving through campus killed my mileage. I swear every freakin freshman thought it was the greatest thing to drive through campus.

 

I have exceeded 130 mph regularly in my 2008 V6. While I don't recommend that you drivers do this, the car handles very well, with no buffeting at that speed. I know that the engine can handle more speed, but with only a stock suspension, drivetrain and tires, I do not want to push it to more than that. The only negative effect during one drive was the loss of a tire pressure sensor, causing an imbalance in the tire, which brought me to a slow pace quickly.

The V6 engine is quite capable of speeds far exceeding your driving ability, even if driven on a closed course track. Know your limitations, and that of your vehicle. Drive safely.

 

1 your statements are completely contradictory. You are saying we shouldn't do 130mph but for some reason you can??

2 your tires aren't rated for 130mph. If i recall my v6 tires were rated for 115mph, obviously they can exceed there rating, but it becomes very dangerous to do so.

3 The 2005+ V6 mustangs are limited to somewhere around 115mph as well, so unless you have turned off the speed limiter it isn't possible for you to got that fast

4 Finally the v6 mustang, especially on stock tires and stock suspension, leaves the front end very very light and car isn't very stable at all. I will admit it, I had gone 115mph in my v6 and it wasn't honestly that comfortable, you could tell any kind of major variation in the pavement or maneuvering would not handle well, so saying it handled great at 130 is ridiculous.

 

i've exceeded 237 mph, that's right, stock v6...237 mph, that's uphill too, up a mountain here in FL matter of fact. i was racing a 1983 Pinto station wagon. yea it had a 4 cyl but it put up a helluva fight!


don't speed on public skreets. do it at the track.

 

ive only gone up to 117mph until my wife told me to stop, and no it wasnt in any public road with cars or truck it was out in the ranch, open road with no cars at all

while i was going this speed i didnt fell nothin shaking or anything like that, it just felt fine as if i were driving like 65mph

 

I got to about 115mph before I backed off at the track. Took about another 100ft after the line at Bandimere though. I just didn't want to get off it was so smooth. Can't imagine what it'd do in Vegas or Cali.

 

lmao... i went 115 till i saw cars ahead of me... TURNPIKE is where i reached 115... and yes.... not only was i scared and almost shitting brinks... but it was a great feeling.... but i can't be doing that since i don't want to risk my life and also my pony lol

 

i pegged the GT... so what ever stock 00 GT speed is i was at it.
