Not bashing the v6 stang. Just my opinion though. I really wouldn't want a stock car that is limited to 114mph, without a limiter hits 130mph and with extensive modification can hit 155mph to 160 tops. Not my cup of tea.

I understand. The limiter is set there for the drive shaft, though. Replace it and you're only limitation is your tires. To keep the v6 price down Ford compromised with a single piece shaft susceptible to some gnarly harmonics at high speed.

In retrospect though... the mustang v6 makes the perfect entry level tuner car with guys that want to enter the sport.

no idea the ratio. but i cant put any car or truck on a pedistal. every auto maker has bad eggs. i used to love chevy, then i bought a brand new lemon SUV (equinox). also had a POS nissan sentra, years ago. but of all the different types i have owned, i found nissan to be generally dependable, so ive been sticking to the brand
