Your thoughts on the v6 Mustang

[AR306]

I decided to buy the v6 because it was going to be my first stang and I am not financially sound enough for full out aftermarket purchases in the EB, much less buy a GT. Just some upgrades here and there since she is my daily driver. Has enough power for those trips to school and back and is very responsive and controllable on the twisties. Braking is much better than I expected. Then again, I was coming from a 2010 Focus. I plan to keep her in my future family for a long time

This is wise.. wish I had read this before I got mine. Lol.

I got the EB with the intention of doing all those mods.. Now I'm hesitant to pull the trigger on any mods because I'm worried about the warranty/engine reliability and all I can think about is getting a GT manual so I don't want to dump money into this thing if I do end up trading it in.. Lol.

If it wasn't for the damned insurance I would of gotten a GT, I'm starting to think I would of been better off with a V6 manual with the 3.55 gears.

V6 manual with 3.55 gears is a lot of fun. It suits the more peaky nature of the engine really well.

Because of this thread I am actively looking to get rid of my v6 and get an SUV.......i cant deal with being the "cheap" one with the "worst" car anymore.........I am loosing too much sleep at night wondering why I get so many compliments on the car in the real world, but a third of a forum or two just wont accept me.

I will most likely get a 02 explorer and just exist

I genuinely hope that this is sarcasm. For someone to put so much worth into what other people say is ridiculous. Your car in your avatar is beautiful. WTH would you trade that for an 02 explorer? You think people put your V6 down wait until you drive the horribly outdated Explorer.

If all you're looking for is the look of the S550 then go for it! I see more V6 S550's around here than anything and only poke fun at them if it's that one guy in every crowd that puts a fart can and a GT emblem on it and acts like he's got a rocket ship...

Are you kidding me? There is NO WAY I would get rid of my Ecoboost 2.3L Turbo engined Mustang because of a few jerks on a forum. MOST of the people here are true enthusiasts and proud Mustang owners and have a real appreciation for all models of the Mustang. Don't get rid of something you have a real appreciation for because of a few jerks that have inferiority complexes and do not know what it means to be a true car enthusiast.

He is trolling you guys.

 

[Arsenalslr95]

Not sure what "trolling" exactly means. I was under the understanding it was saying something on purpose to strike a nerve / get a negative reaction out of someone or basically instigating an arguement. I was just being sarcastic in reference to the direction the topic had went

I once read that psychopaths have trouble detecting sarcasm.. :gossip:


I'd keep a close eye on those two..

............about my own car and myself, not someone elses. I would think trolling would be if I made a comment about someone else or their property to get a rise

Has anyone else noticed that the best threads on this Forum all center around the lowly Cyclonic Mustangs? "And the last shall be first"...

As a v6 owner...half the fun is defending your purchase. But i tend to get more compliments on my car then insults, and these insults are mostly from forums or youtube. But the only real-life insult ive received was from a fat black lady who drives a GT, and my 32 year old forever unemployed cousin who drives a Honda that his parents bought for him. Ive received countless compliments. Yea my "v6 regret" is gone.

Is it sad after reading this that I automatically think the only reason she got a GT was to haul her fat ass because anything less would struggle...
