That's interesting that the V6's have stronger blocks than the V8's (i think). What exactly determines the strength? The angle of the block?

 

it's not stronger. it is more powerful stock, that's about it

 

Yeah, I'm actually fairly impressed with those V6 blocks after what they did to that notch in a recent MM&FF.

 

That green notch with the bored/stroked 01 3.8? Yeah that's a nice *** car. fugger ran 10.6s. But that thing is built to hell and back also.

 

yeah, but its STILL a 3.8 block....that car is freekin sick.

 

Not to be a dick but my ex had a 99 zx2 auto and I had a 96 v6 stang auto(slowest car ever) but she never beat me exept for off the line. What happened there, cause that car used to lose to the occasional focus. BTW nice kill

 

yeah my car really isn't to fast, and regular zx2's are even slower, but i just want a stang, tell me are the 4.6's better than the 94-95 5.o.. just curious

 

Better?95gt vs 96gt. Well power for power they are almost identical. The torque and power curves differ somewhat. The 4.6l from 99-04 is a whole different ballgame.I have driven a 95 and i have a 99 and its no comparison.

 

So then why do you only find them (until recently) in the Ford SUVs and Trucks? The new 4.0L in the Mustangs is a carryover from teh truck line because of it's durability and strength.

 

If I lost to a stock, or semi stock Zx2, I'd burn my car!
