I love my v6 that I got for 25k b4 tax. I like it because of the price difference. If I had more money I'd have the Eco or 5.0 since the "300" is more like 250 at the rear wheels I had mine dunk tuned and after my bolt on had 266 rear wheel.

There are those who forget (or never knew) that the original Mustang came standard with a straight six and 3-on-the-tree and was sold as a "fun economy car." It was, after all, a re-bodied Falcon.

You can buy the V6 with the 051a pack for $23,000 all day, in our area.

I wish that was the case here in illionis. Either way I love the hell out of it. It needs a pro charger in 5 years. Before I never was the kind of guy that like to drive and now I'm always like hay I'll drive, let's take my Stang...

Ford tried eliminating the V6 in favor of the I4 before, it didnt work out for some reason and the V6 came back. Maybe this is just a repeat of that.

the electrical/electronics architecture is very different on the 2015+ than it is on the 2010-2014. you can't just drop a tune for a 2014 into a 2015.

no it isn't. Modifications/aftermarket parts DO NOT unilaterally void the warranty, by federal LAW. you can have a warranty CLAIM denied if they can reasonably show your mod or aftermarket part CAUSED the failure.

probably because back then the I4 had like 80 horsepower.

yes and the v8 had max 225 and at one point was less than 150hp


I think the ecoboost is popular right now because its new and is just a fad.

Just got a 2015 V6 and I love it. To each his own I guess.

I just got a 2017 V6 and love it. The sound is amazing.

A I4 turbocharged Mustang just doesn't sound right at all.

It's a shame the V6 got discontinued.

Time will tell but i doubt the turbo 4 is a fad. Ecoboost is making good power stock and better numbers with not much work.

Price, sound, and insurance were all considerations when I made the decision to go with the 3.7. I drove a V-6 and an Ecoboost back-to-back, and while the 2.3 had good punch, in typical turbo fashion, you have to wait a tick or two for it. One big selling point for the V-6: The salesman remote-started them both while I was standing next to them, and the V-6 definitely wins the sound contest.

I sold my Focus ST a few months ago, so I'm familiar with the advantages and drawbacks of smaller, turbocharged engines. I decided to go with an automatic this time around, as my commute got a lot worse with the new job. The wait time for power to come on with a turbo lengthens slightly when you're waiting for an automatic transmission to react. Taking manual control of the transmission helps with this, but I don't want to drive around in manual mode all the time.

As for the lack of direct injection, I find myself glad it doesn't have it. At least this engine won't be suffering from intake valve contamination.

It's a sad reality that the 3.7 may be on its way out. This car is a tremendous value, but I do wish it offered some of the same options they have on the Ecoboost. The power driver's seat would've been nice....the manual backrest rake adjustment has too much of a gap between the available positions. Other than that, this car is fantastic.
