2011 Mustang V6 Reply #45 – January 25, 2010, 11:20:48 AM I would love to find a dealer that would order me a Base 2011 V-6 Mustang with the GT suspension, Brembo brakes, and the 3.73 gears.I could care less about all the gadgets and the latest 3kw stereo, or whatever they are up to lately....lolI would love to autocross a V-6 stang with those options. And if I could get it for say $ 26K, that would be great. :D Quote Selected

With the way the government is pushing better emissions, etc., you can expect all cars to take a price hike. A increase in price on the Mustang doesn't make much difference if all of the competition takes a price increase too.you know I think you're on the right track, but I think CAFE is the big driver or the new Mustang engines.

I want a base '11 so bad I can't stand myself. Everything about this new generation is great. I loooooove the sequenced led tails, and the guages inside are great too. But, like was said before, happiness with the car is no substitute for those of us who just cannot afford it...Then again, ive never been able to afford a "new" car...:D 'least not on 25k/yr (unless I bought a kia:yuck:) Quote Selected
2011 Mustang V6 Reply #48 – May 01, 2010, 11:38:29 PM The June issue of Car And Driver has a comparison of the V6 and V8 Mustangs and Camaros. They liked the Mustangs better in both cases. Quote Selected

2011 Mustang V6 Reply #51 – May 04, 2010, 10:17:02 PM Quote from: V8Demon;301038II really hope the 05-09 cars do not become the next mid '90's Corvette. No that's good because they are *relatively* quick zippy cars nonetheless. Far from the slowest thing on the road. Find a flogged one and have a fast cheap beater! :D Quote Selected

2011 Mustang V6 Reply #54 – May 05, 2010, 07:55:21 AM Evolution Performance just got their hands on a new 5.0.....http://www.facebook.com/pages/Evolution-Performance-Inc/262882950647Initially the car's first pass after the car cooled down (second time at the track)- "12.88@111mph with a 2.06 60ft with stock 19" Tires!"Last update had the car with an exhaust/tune/Bogarts car running "12.04 @ 117mph - 1.70 60ft."Not bad for a grand in mod's, and I'm sure better times are to be had with better air.As for power...QuoteOur 2011 Mustang GT 5.0L 4V (5.0 Mustang and Super Fords Magazine Project Car) made 405 RWHP and 375 RWTQ with the addition of an Off-Road X-Pipe, Catback Exhaust System, K&N Drop In Filter, and a Custom Tune! That's a gain of 36 RWHP and 23 RWTQ! That's not bad but we're still working on some other changes in the tune...Glad I just upgraded the rear in my car and did a gear swap......Now I can just barely beat that......If I drive it good BTW -- BOTH those HP & torque #'s are higher than mine with 7 pounds of boost; not by much, but still.....Where was this engine in 2005?

2011 Mustang V6 Reply #55 – May 05, 2010, 11:06:29 AM I agree with you V8Demon...in '07 I thought my GT had a lot of HP in stock form. Now the V6 will be nipping at my tail. It could be worse I guess. How do you think the 2010 owners feel? lol.I guess in the big scheme of things, a 300hp 3v is still nothing to dismiss as "slow". Quote Selected
2011 Mustang V6 Reply #56 – May 06, 2010, 12:15:55 AM I just drove a '10 V6 tonight. Things has some balls. I was surprised overall by the car. I never knocked them but it exceeded what I thought they would be. Quote Selected
