RE: V6 Hate
Yea that ignorance is very annoying, especially when people post a race with a v6 mustang and they dont give any type of description as to what year, any mods, any people in the car, auto/stick. they just put it out there and classify everyone. ohh well. on a side note, i have switched to this forum because the v6 forum has turned into mostly technical forum and has a lot beginners in there. Now i have nothing wrong with beginners, we were all one at one time, but if i have to read another "which is the best CAI?" or "Which exhaust sounds the best?" well i think i am gonna hurl,lol.

RE: V6 Hate
Just think of it this way! They are all talking about us, that means one thing: JEALOUS!!! They are so jealous of us that they have to talk about us and put us down. Deep down they all know we would kick there ***! So they try to put us down and make themselves feel good about themselves. Just look at it and laugh! thats what i do!!!

I think the bad wrap that we get has been earned. We all know that our 4.0's are much quicker than the 3.8's, and as quick or quicker than some 5.0's. But for years, everyone has gotten used to the 3.8 slouch. They're not aware that the 4.0 is a quick car, and very respectable with minimal mods. I had a 95 V6 5 speed, and I believe it had like 140 or 150 horsepower... not a very fast car by any means. That's what most people think when the hear V6 Mustang.
Like any car, there are the modded 3.8's that are definitely respectable, but they're rare.

The 5-sp new edge v6's aren't that bad, there are many in the low 15's...the auto is pretty horrible though.

Jealousy and envy are odd things, aren't they. Mustangs are the great American icon. You'd know it was a Mustang no matter what year it was made. You really can't tell a V6 from a V8 unless you know the subtle design cues. And with all of the aftermarket and take-off inventory available - you can place ten Mustangs side by side ..... all would be different from the others, all would be a rolling representation of the owners personality ..... every one as unique as the individual wants it to be. Now, what other car can do all that, still be a V6 and can become as fast as you want it to be?

At first I thought you were talking about the S197. I guess "new edge" is the last of the Fox bodies, right?

RE: V6 Hate
Like others have mentioned... it's all about education. On the trip down to Mississippi, there was an 06 GT owner who actually went so far as to shake his head as he drove by. I proceeded to spank him repeatedly. He finally just followed me until we got to a gas station. The "what the hell is in that thing?" was well worth the crappy head shake I got initially...
