Ok, seriously, how much "better" are the 05+ v6's? They have 17 more horses stock for stock, right? But they look A LOT heavier IMO. So are they and do they really have that much on 99-04's?

 

They look good, and do have a LITTLE more power. But I HATE the throttle by wire system. On a rental I had, it was like press the accelerator, and WAIT!

 

aren't ours like that too, though?

 

Nope. We have accelerator cables. They have a sensor under the pedal...The one I rented, when you pressed the accelerator pedal, there was like a 1-1.5 second wait time til it did anything. I understand that is a problem Ford is either working out, or has worked out. I like a good old fashioned cable connection.

 

well mine kinda waits a bit, too. how much heavier are they?

 

Not sure. Brad Barret hasn't updated with tech data on the 05-06 yet.

 

so in a race it would be pretty close anyhow?

 

I've races 2 05 V6's recently. [sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif]

Does that tell you anything...

EDIT...
I'm hoping and praying at least 1 shows up to the EPD Street Drags this weekend...I wanna have some fun!

 

well you've got more on me, but that's good to know

 

I test drove an 03 and an 05, the 05 is a little better. nothing mind boggling.
