But the stang is looking better by the year.

I'm excited to see the next gen. I seen a few sketches and im eager to see what comes of it. The main ford sketch is beautiful.

you're talking about the v6 right?

The boss 302 has forged internals? That is news to me.
Also have not heard about the mustang having major issues like this. I mean, I have seen videos of the 5.0 running 10 pounds of boost and going down the 1/4 mile weekend after weekend with no built motor.

Well that sucks! Here I am trying to justify a new (new to me) car purchase since my 93 Camry as a DD blows on MPG. Guess I'm going to save for a bit for a DIB 5.0.

That does suck considering how light the 370z is and how heavier v8's are getting the same mpg ratings.

If you want gas mileage, neither the 5.0 nor the 370z will do it for you.

FRS in an auto gets about 30mpg combined. the gencoupe 2.0 about 26mpg's... Otherwise, they gonna have to deal with it.

v6 mustang isn't bad either, and frankly still pretty quick. Not sure I'd be ok with driving one though

lemon-fresh · 09-05-2012, 02:13 PM

It's ok most people don't know the difference (or dont care).

Not trying to insult anyone with a V6 musclecar but... I could never do v6 in a stang, camaro etc. I know these cars by heritage always had the transportation version. But it don't make it right. lol

I find it amusing that the V-6 Mustang gets bashed so much, even though it only has 10 less HP and is just as fast as the old V-8, which nobody complained about.

Now the old V-6...that was a joke.

I'd call that an outlier.

no, when a mustang runs slow, that is the norm. When a Z runs slow, it is an outlier.

The mustang can't beat a Bugatti in a drag race. It is slow.

The Z corners better than a Lincoln Navigator. It is fast.

Q.E.D.

If i'm correct? The average gt mustang will run 4.8/12.8 right? Besters will run 4.4/12.6?
