Hey all

Just got my 2011 black on black v6. Had a 2006 v6 once. All I can say is it is fast. Very impressed. However am thinking of supercharging it. Does anyone know who makes a supercharger for the 2011 model v6?

 

no one....yet

give it time

 

I'm jaded. You're impressed with the new (and very impressive 6) and I'm disappointed with the new 5.0

Glad you enjoy your new car, congrats!

I'm sure vortech will have a centri out by the fall

 

Why would you be dissapointed with the 5.0? I wish I had the money for one.

 

IDK, i guess i just hyped it up too much and expected to be blown away and just wasn't that's all. Going from the 4.0 to the 3.7 is much more of a jump I think......this is comparing my modded 4.6 to the 5.0 though

 

Nice man! Welcome to the club. As for the 5.0L.. I am more than far impressed. It has already ran 9's stock bottom end... Something the 4.6L has never done..

 

Below 3000 rpms the 4.6 has more hp & tq than the 5.0 so with all the hype most expect it to be a beast even down low (including me) but it's not, same goes for the new 3.7. Get up into the rpms & both these motors really wake up.

Did you get a stick or an auto? What rear gears?

The only 2011 Mustang I haven't driven is the V6 manual but I bet it is a blast to drive. I was very disappointed with the shifting of the auto tranny in both the 3.7 & 5.0 stock which was the same for the 5 speed auto behind the 4.0 V6. I fixed that with a reprogram of the tranny so the new tranny shifting should be an easy fix.

When you get the 3.7 into the upper rpms it's easy to forget you are driving a V6. I've driving some older stock Corvettes that didn't pull as hard. Very impressive car & what's not to like about a black Mustang other than keeping it clean.

 

The new 5.0 has less hp and tq than th3 4.6 below 3k???

 

And this is how internet rumors get started....


I don't know for sure, but I would be willing to bet that that is NOT a true statment. I dont see how a larger displacment, more advanced motor would make less hp and tourque lower in the RPM band. All things being equal (ie the 4.6 and the 5.0 being naturally asperated) the 5.0's powerband should start higher and stay higher throughout the RPM band.

If this IS true I would be shocked, and I would be hesitant to beleve it until I saw a dyno sheet.

 

Don't think so...

250lbs at 2000 rpm, I don't think the 4.6 is close to that.
