Thread: A Mustang...wut?

Yup...just to make 'Poke happy and to post because I actually love the fact this car is basically a Nissan drivetrain...it sure is fun to drive, loves to rev high (7K RPM redline)...for an N/A V6 car...and it rides very stiff...and it's planted like no ones business. But it's a Mustang...FWIW, not a bad car honestly...fit and finish are great on it surprisingly, minus the god damn head rests...retarded.

This one has the optional regular GT brakes (non-Brembo), 19" wheels with UHP tires, Shelby GT500 suspension parts, front/rear valances, etc.

Factory specs...iz...

3.7 All Aluminum DOHC V6, with Ti-VCT (which is Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing for you noobz) rated at 305 HP @ 6,500 rpm & 280 ft. lbs. of Torque @ 4,250 rpm...

Mods done to date:

C&L Performance CAI w/ Billet 85mm MAF Housing
Magnaflow Competition Catback

Here are some pics when my old man brought it home...











Ummm...yeah, stock motor...


Factory Exhaust...


Magnaflow Catback...


Look at all this room for long tubes!!



And here is a current video of it...with the 7,000 miles it has on it...

That was a cute little finger snap to end the video

Looks good man, can't hate on the new V6 S197s. Well I take that back, someone here will find a way.

That sounds great! It sounds like a toned down v8. Very nice car. Still hate the Mustang steering wheel.

i like this body style....alot...needs boost?

i wish that billet grill was black. i do like those new mustangs tho.

Not bad at all.. Is this a manual or auto?

Look great man, and those new v6 mustangs are pretty quick from what I hear.

Ah, my nemesis. Curse you technology! BTW.....Id rock that

M6 with the track package rear end...example 3.31 gears vs. 3.08's.

nice.

Ive driven a 2010 V8 manual a number of times, same color as that one.
Quite nice, even though they really stepped it up in 2011.

Beast.

Love the way the indicator light progresses sequentially on these. Also agree about the fit and finish. My friend went to buy a Ford Fusion last week and I took the opportunity at the showroom to test drive the 5.0. Nicely built and at a good price.

The neat thing to me about the V6 stang is you can make it look just like the GT 500 (well close anyways) and there are a ton of guys on SVT modding these things and all their Shelby takeoffs will fit your car. And your junk has a good chance of handling better because it wieghs less. Good pick!

BTW, I got a chance to drive a few GT500's when I worked for Stiegemeier and they are truly beastly. Especially the Super Snake vert I got to take for a spin .
