2011 Mustang V6 Revealed

One thing that would be very intresting if ford made available twin turbos to be bought from them just for warranty sake, but tuners can prob. come out with better cheaper versions. An ecoboost V6 would have been awesome though...

Ecoboost would have been nice, but I'm pretty sure the decision was made to exclude Ecoboost from the V6 to maintain V8 superiority.

Ford does offer factory installed superchargers on the V8 models through their FRPP arm. Full warranty coverage up to around 500-550 whp.

yep that would be the reason...I mean all you need to do is up the boost and bam your traveling in GT territory. The factory installed S/C is kinda why I brough up the whole TT from ford. I'm happy that ford realized that the 4.0 making a measly 210hp wasn't going to cut it. So now that this new 3.7 V6 with more power is out they can acutally do better comparisons with other cars, no more 370z vs. mustang GT. I def. can see an epic battle between the new mustang v6 and 370z... both are close when it comes to the engine specs, both have a 6sp m/t and IMO just basing on the current '10 v6 curb weight, a +200lb for the mustang. Advantages for the mustang is the price will probley be below 30k if you op for everything. I'm liking all these new cars coming out and gunning for the best v6...well except for honda and toyota

lol
