Im confused
Yes, I'm gonna have to have it shipped to my country, bro. Any drawbacks with that? I mean warranty speaking, you know, don't wanna get cheated and stuff.

you'll have to look into your country's vehicle safety and emmissions standards for the most part. Pretty sure a brand new mustang will meet them, but regardless you'll probably have to pay to have it inspected anyway. I could be wrong about this though, for all I know your country could have no safety or emmissions standards.

For instance if I were to buy a brand new car made for japan's emmissions/safety standards and have it shipped here to the US, It would not pass the US standards. I would have to spend thousands to make it legal (change glass, retune for emmissions, etc.).

Shipping and import costs will depend on your country's standards as well.

As far as the warranty goes, you'll have to work that out with ford. If you don't have any ford dealers around, then you'll have to get ford to agree to pay for work performed by a 3rd party shop. Try to find a high quality, well-equipped shop that specializes in american cars. They'll need access to ford's newest software interface equipment and service registry.

GOOD LUCK!!

Who cares what motor you have?
At it's high point, my V6 would mop the floor with 95% of the V8 Mustangs it would run against. I now daily drive a supercharged V8 that's only making half the power. It's not about the number of cylinders, it's about you liking your car.

wtf, is your 6er making 700-800 hp?

I only prefer the v8 for the sound and just my opinion, when I think of a mustang, I think of a v8, not a v6....if you put 10k into the motor of any mustang, regardless of if its a v6 or v8 it will be fast.
