Just bought the 2012 v6 premium. I want to get it to where it can run with the v8s and I need suggestions on what I can do with it. I also would like suggestions about body kits, exhausts, etc.. Thanks.

Well just like 05-10, you are trying to play catch up with a car that has 80-100 more horsepower(rough guess). A tune and cai and you will be staying with the 05-10 stock gt's, with some gearing you should be passed them. To catch up with a 5.0 you will probably have to venture down the route of forced induction.

Tough to answer w/o knowing how deep your pockets are. As stated above, if you want to run with the 5.0's and mid-modded 4.6's, you'll have to go FI. And even then it may be a struggle. But with a CAI & tune alone, you should be able to stay with and likely beat stock 4.6's.

You either need the 2 piston upgrade package or a procharger. tune, cai, nitrous, gears, cam's, header, exhaust - all that will help too.

good luck.

If performance was your concern, why'd you buy the V6? For the amount of $$ you'll put into your 6 to beat an 8 you could have laid out a few bucks more for the 5.0 and then you'd have a platform to continue modding with more power as time went on.

True ^^

Hopefully, I can talk my wife into getting a new V6.. after seeing American Muscles car, It'll be another toy for me to play with..

I already asked her if she got it, if she'd let me put parts on it and the response I got was "Only if you pay for them!"

You should buy the 5.0 coyote motor and swap it out man!!

oh boy! At least it has already been brought up but why in the heck buy a six and then want the power of a v8. Enjoy

I was thinking the same thing Nuke..

The v6 was a present after finishing college. My pockets go very deep, could y'all be specific(maybe some links) for upgrades on the car? Thanks.
