Don't say that to anyone on a Honda/literally any 4 cylinder car enthusiast board.

My option was Hyundai Elantra with options or stretch for V6 Mustang (no base GT in Canada). What would you do? As for 2005 horsepower you do what you can with what you have. There will always be a faster car. My two 5.0s were from the 1980s but I loved them and were some of the fastest cars on the street at the time.
Peace.

LOL but the statement was the V6 was more desirable than the GT350, GT, EB :lol:
Not as bad as the V6 making more TQ than the 5.0 thread because of the new intake manifold, or the V6 appreciating in value if Ford axes it out of the lineup (well prices should be going up by now but are not, odd.....). I got flamed hard because I disagreed with those things.
Also OP don't buy into the paranoia on this forum. EBM is correct. Just look at all the false and inaccurate information that is spread on here daily. Just look at this thread alone. Take care of the rats and enjoy the car. Now if plan on mods that is perhaps a different story and another discussion that has taken place a million times already.

That may be true, but I personally can’t see needing more BHP for a DD. Why would I need to go faster than 157MPH? For $400.00, we get 10% more power! That’s a return on your dollar unheard of before the advent of third party tuners. I don’t miss leather seats or built in navigation (Using Bluetooth & my smart phone), and I’m pleased with the sound quaility from the stock sound system. So what exactly am I getting in a premium vs stock? This is especially true with the S550. It would be nice to have some contrast stitching on the doors and the dash however.
I think the one weak link in the S550 V6 is the stock brakes. At 157MPH they would be extremely taxed slowing down a 3,500Lb car from that velocity.

You dont need any more horsepower in one sentence. And in the last sentence. Your talking about 157mph? If you had more hp you could go 200mph.

All a matter of perspective:
1980s 5.0. Top speed 142
1995 LT1 147
2017 V6. 157
The V6 is the fastest car I have ever owned though I have driven faster. :first: I will get another proper V8 from GM before I hang up my car keys. But I have bonded to this car and have embarrassed much more powerful cars which is VERY rewarding. It’s my daily driver. I eat in this car and even sleep in it. It was covered in snow with a large snow drift on the driver’s side last night. I just turn off traction control and go through the snow on the OEM tires. Skill is under rated, not that I have any skill. ;)

l dont know why you boys dont just say. I love my car and let it go? Its as desirable as a GT350? Ive enbarassed much more powerful cars? How exactly? The hyperbole is what im reacting to. And for the record. I owned a S197 tuned v6 as a daily driver. Fun car. But it never really embarassed anything. Just saying. It not the more powerful car your beating. Its the lousy driver in the more powerful car.

That’s the point. The car does not make the man.
Porsche Carrera 4 in a dig. He got cocky and had to pull behind me and kiss my ass. He drove up beside me and I shrugged and he was all excited and talking to me even though my window was up. :lol: I let him get ahead and found out what the model was. Another Porsche, a modified one simply chickened out on a decreasing radius turn. A fast car does not make a fast driver. BTW all this happened in Mexico.

Thats a great story.
But what happens when you run on to a guy like me. That races weekly? Answer. You get blown out of the water & beaten by bus lenths. Your point is silly. The bravado in this thread is silly. And trading a new EB for a V6 is silly. Youll lose your ass on trade in. Buy a few mouse traps.

This is fun dude. My ego is not involved. If you compete you would handicap if you wanted it to be a real race and see who has more skill. Anyone can buy a car. Chill. Back in the day I was the biggest muscle car jerk ever. But I changed. Now I drive a V6 Mustang. :lol:

My first introduction to drag racing was when I was a kid and I was eye balling this top fuel type dragster. The owner came over and instead of yelling at me - he plopped me into the cockpit. I was hooked from that moment on. That guy was a true ambassador of the sport.

You haven’t raced if you haven’t part throttle raced yet. V6 should win due to the new intake manifold. Bluebeast would get smoked
