There is now a 3.7L Public Group you guys n gals can join!

Ive seen 5.0 GT & V6 groups so i thought i should make one specifically for our 2011+ V6's =)

https://mustangforums.com/forum/grou...l-v6-club.html

Join up, if we get enough support for this, I was thinking we could start a 3.7L Mustang Meet like once every couple months of once a month or something.

give me your thoughts =)

why not, easier to find what mods everyone has done

as far as meets...theres a long way between here and there. I do like the idea of a sixxer meet, perhaps we could include previous sixxers as well

yeah i would love a sixxer event, so lets see how things go with ppl joining the group and go from there =)

some nice write up here while we are talking about our sixers, I'm impressed with the diff. between 4.0 and 3.7, after driving a 2010 GT alittle modded, this the GT sorry to say ain't got much more, I can say that cuz I pushed my gt all the time actually find the 6 handling better, with the added nibble sensor , electronic steering.

As with the V-8, attention to the V-6 engine focuses on airflow. This is essentially the same 3.7-liter found in the Lincoln MKS and MKT, with a few key changes. A redesigned cylinder head increases compression to 10.5:1, from 10.3. Variable valve timing, which is now on the exhaust valves, uses the cam-torque system as in the V-8, and intake-valve lift is increased. A new exhaust manifold completes the list of airflow improvements. To adapt the engine to a rear-wheel-drive layout, Ford engineers had to design a tube molded into the lower intake that moves the coolant plumbing from the thermostat housing at the rear of the engine to a new water-pump location up front.
The result is 305 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 280 pound-feet of torque at 4250 rpm (when using regular unleaded)—30 more horsepower than the premium-fuel number for the MKS. More importantly, it’s a jump of 95 horsepower and 40 pound-feet from the old 4.0-liter, with fuel-efficiency increases to boot. Ford predicts ratings of 18 to 19 mpg city and 29 to 30 mpg highway, depending on transmission choice, up from 16 to 18 city and 24 to 26 high
PERFORMANCE (C/D EST, 6-SP MAN):
Zero to 60 mph: 4.5–5.0 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 12.8–13.6 sec
Top speed (governor limited): 115–149 mphway.

This part I wrote LOL which used to be my 2010 GT "I'm impressed with the diff. between 4.0 and 3.7, after driving a 2010 GT alittle modded, this the GT sorry to say ain't got much more, I can say that cuz I pushed my gt all the time actually find the 6 handling better, with the added nibble sensor , electronic steering."

I've seen different youtube race videos bewtween the V6 and GT showing the GT winning each time and vice versa. I think it's close enough to say it comes down to the driver. Some other subtle differences like the gearing may also make things even closer.

driver skills vs. a 400hp camaro, against my stock gt, did not get pics of finish but stayed this way til end, he had better times, speed but i crossed line first...and I'm not a skilled driver, he had a automatic and i never missed a shift.lol
