Gonna get a v6 this week, need some advice :)

[Clarkson]

Thanks for the help guys. I actually learnt to drive in a manual diesel truck. Aside from the fact it never stalls, I think I have most of the necesseary skills to drive a manual.

If I were in your shoes:

Silver
Manual
051A
Spare Wheel/Tire
Spoiler Delete
3.55 Gears

I don't consider the sensors necessary with the camera.

 

[Clarkson]

What color do you like better? Do you back up into things often? Do you drive stick? How much extra noise are you looking for?

I like both ingot and white. Silver really shows the line of the car better and after some waxing it is gonna look amazing. Although If i get a white mustang, Im gonna do some white & black contrast detailing so it would look classy as well.

I learnt to drive on a manual truck so i guess I can.

Muffler delete is a must for me and if x-pipe wont have any drone issue, I m gonna do it as well. The main deciding factor would be those annoying drones

If you do not want a GT, for god's sake at least get a Ecoboost...

But..

White
Sensor
Manual
X pipe ... Muffler delete will sound like absolute sh*t.

I feel it's my duty to remind everyone, that Ford's power ratings are misleading.

The V6 makes its rated power at 87 octane
The EB makes it at 93, and loses 35 hp at 87 octane.

It's a shame the V6 doesn't have a premium model though.

The V6 is every bit as fast as the EB stock. 6'years ago the gt was only making V6 power.

Silver, sensors,and Auto with muffler delete will make for a terrific car...I really like mine! Such a finely balanced Mustang you will have...ample power, good creature comforts, and nice mileage numbers all wrapped up in a reasonable priced Pony.

3.55 gears and manual transmission. Rear sensors would be cool if you can find them

I guess with all the GT and EB hoopla... I forgot that the 3.7 makes 300+hp as well. No offense to any of the V6 folks here was intended. :cheers:

When test driving the v6 camaros challengers (autos), and manual ecoboost mustang, the chally feels noticebly faster . I would give credit to the automatic transmission it had. So if ford's 6speed has that same effect, I might ditch the benefit of manuals

Personally I think a V6 sounds wayyyyyy better than the EB.

You obviously haven't heard mine.

2015+ Challenger has this :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZF_8HP_transmission

8HP70 rated at 700 lb ft

probably an excellent transmission, with an extra low 1st gear


edit: Challenger V6 has the 8HP40, 450 lb ft

If you dont often drive in congested traffic or on hills....you should really get the manual. Try to get someone to teach you in their car. The first car i ever bought was a mazdaspeed 3 and i learned how to drive stick on that, only took me 2 days to learn and my dad taught me. I couldnt imagine going back to auto unless i lived in a very hilly area or high traffic. I look forward to rowing through the gears everyday.

Manual transmissions are like having a gymnast lover...lots of fun but sometimes strenuous!

 

[Pintoracer]

I'd go Silver, reverse sensors, spare tire, and 355 gear with manual.
