Not to bad your car can do much better though. Was it in sport mode? That makes a big difference.

No. Just put it in drive and mashed the gas. Lol. How much could it improve in sport? It was my first time trying too

Yeah put it in the s (sport mode) and then mash the gas. I didn't even know about this until a couple months after I got the car. My quarter mile time went from 14.2 to 13.9 just from doing so.

I will definitely try that next time I get the opportunity! Does it shift firmer? Or hold the gears longer?

 

[Joe_Stang]

To be honest I didn't pay attention to whether it shifts firmer but it does hold the gears longer. I always put it in sport mode when messing around on the street haha.

 

[onebad58]

Awesome to know! Thank You!

I believe it does shift firmer in addition to holding gears longer, but not 100% on that.

You are correct. Sport mode shifts firmer, shifts quicker, and holds every gear to just beyond redline. This is in addition to allowing full manual control with the paddles. (will automatically downshift to prevent stall)

When I first got my v6 I was very surprised to learn it was faster then the older v8's. For example I had a 97 mustang gt with full bolt ons, a tune and 4.10 gears and this car is faster stock! This car has potential to be a low 13 second quarter mile car with full bolt ons and a tune. Possibly even high 12's with a good set of tires on top of a full set of mods. I am very excited to start doing work to my car once the parts are released.

I belive the fastest NA 3.7 is running mid 12's. This is with bolt ons and ported cylinder heads / intake.

i thought the v6 doesnt have sport mode?

They are talking about Sport Mode on the shifter/transmission, not the selectable drive modes.

It does have the selectable drive modes as well.

No. Only premium models with the toggle switches get the drive modes.
