I own a 2005 3.5 v6 Altima , automatic....car does 15.0 at 93 spinning a lot thru first gear bone stock . From a roll it can give my sixer a run for its money but from a dig all it does is spin one wheel. They are good cars but are also 6-7 grand more than the stangs. James "Troll" Cole ....you probably dont even have a car... so stay out of it.

No, nobody is compensating, you guys just bought the wrong car that's all.

Displacement 281 cu in / 4,606 cc V8 4.6L
245 cu in / 4,009 cc V6 4.0L

When there is no replacement for displacement...the V6 is a very nice starting block. Infact the V6 pistons are HUGE Compared to the V8's pistons when there is only 36 cu in differance in the engines making the V6 a big block of sixes. Im happy with my purchace. Its not all about HP or TQ However its fun to have it. I prefer suspension setup. Yeah you got a v8 congrats...they are nice cars to. But for the money the looks, the performance, the aftermarket and the reliablity can not be beat by anyother car that is in production at this time. Its a good starting point for enthuists, with simple bolt ons we can be faster than your gt and infact you paying 25k to 30k for a car still doesnt beat me getting my mustang for 18k out the door then slapping a sc on it or a turbo for another 3k and being a second faster than you. Dont get me wrong...GT's are nice cars, but please dont put down the v6 without a logical explination.

Hey V6 onwers,

When someone asks you why you bought and drive a V6 stang, and you love your car, just respond with:

"Because I FU**ING CAN!"

That's it, that's all...

The V6 Stang is also a LOT of car for the money. As is the GT. Don't forget that Canadians pay more money for either of them you you do down south...

remember, PR doesnt exactly have a stock v6 lol, hes runnin mid 14s

i walk the 3.5 altimas at the track all the time. They attempt to pick on me because im in a v6 stang, just to turn around with their tail between their legs.

cobalt ss's, srt-4s, lexus is300s, all those folk that paid more for their car, and are certain will beat a v6 stang, and when they lose... they never want to talk after
