RE: 3.9 or 4.0 ?
yeah new interior is a BIG improvement over 99-04 imo, i am a definite fan of it, the 05+ V6 > 99-04 V6
the ride is better in the new one, and the interior is nicer, but it's also more expensive.

1.) your friend needs to learn how to drive
2.) 1-2ish car difference in a race between the two
3.) wow, 7- 12 more cubic inches, big deal they ride about the same, and both the interiors are cheap and suck

New V6s would smoke that 2004 V6 stock for stock...especially with a manual. I know because:
1. I test drove 2002-2004s before I bought my 2005.
2. My friend has an 2003 GT that I can keep up with.
3. I've raced and beat older V6s too many times.
4. Bigger motor, more HP, more stable ride, nicer interior.

2007 4.0 V6 Mustang

I also find it hilarious that you call the Mustang interior cheap. Man, take a look at ANY GM interior! The '92 Camaro is certainly not the epitome of style.

Unless you've driven both, you are offering no insight here, Camaro dude. I've raced older V6 Mustangs and haven't encountered one yet that has been within 2 cars. I've beaten a '89,'95 and '98 GT. I owned a 3.8 V6 and I beat more cars now then I ever could with my old Mustang. There are 4.0's on this site that could smoke your Camaro. You imply that a "1-2ish" car difference is not alot? Well, there are plenty of other 4.0's on this site that might only lose to you by "1-2ish" cars. A win is a win.

RE: 3.9 or 4.0 ?
go for the 4.0 car-better in all ways. when i had my old 89 5 liter 5 speed with full exhaust and stock 2.73 gears, i ran an 05 v6 when they first came out, and damn it was close. i only beat him by one car length going from a dig to about 80. and im sure the driver mod was in my favor cause the 05's had just came out.
