Default Great power!!

I must say that this V6 engine w/6 speed manual is a fantastic setup and I cant wait to get my tune/CAI.

Quick story...
So I start up the car before and put my foot on the brake and hit my T/C switch 2x's to get her in sport mode and off I go.

I find a spot off the highway that has no traffic and come to a stop...I come off the line real nice and when I hit her into 2nd the whole *** end goes out to the left...wasnt expecting that!
I mean if you think about it..Its "only" a 6cyl....man I cant wait to get her to the track.
I want to see what numbers I can get in the 1/4 mile.

Glad you like it! Mines a 10 and I'm happy despite the 95 less crank hp 7.5 rear and stock single exhaust(now dual) my best the first time out at the track was 15.204 @ 93.98 mph

can't agree with you more, the 6ers got some power behind it, pretty much spins through 1st and chrips the tires 1-3, love it considering I came from a 1.8L civic

I give my friends at the office a lift to lunch....do a power takeoff, then tell them it's a V6
I'm happy with the factory setup...more than enough power for me...

I liked the looks of the V6 car better...no stripes on mine either...just the little pony logo on the side...
Best looking car I have ever owned...get comments about it all the time.

we just bought our second Mustang, and while it is a GT, I finally got to take the V6 for a test drive.

The manaul is a good choice, the automatic is geard a bit too high for the 3.7 (in my opinion.)

Way too high, but I had a 3.55 installed and it is now the car Ford should have sold me in the first place.

I can't seem to understand why, but I seem to be the only one happy with the 2011 V6 Auto with 2.73. Maybe I just need to drive with a 3.31 to understand, but I'm getting great response with mine.
