Default 2011 v6 under rated!

If the 6 is under rated how about the 8?

Man that video has me thinking about a V-6 now instead of trying to work a deal on a2010 GT. In my mind I can't get over the V-6 thing, no offense to any V-6'rs out there. The price is pretty good on the Ford website for the V-6. I will have to drive one perhaps before I make any final decision. Hopefully i won't wait too long! Nice vid!

Will

I'd love to see a race between the new V6 and a 2005-2010 GT. Both straight line and road race.

notice how after the dyno they said "308hp" and not "308whp" they took the WHP number and converted it back to flywheel HP. so it's not really underrated, more like it did what ford advertised and the track times backed up those number being flywheel estimated numbers, if it really laid down 308whp then it would have run a lot faster in the 1/4 mile.

that being said those are good power numbers and times for a V6
