I am still amazed at the performance the 3.7 liter v-6 has, a 2012-2014 Mustang will out perform my brother's 1996 cobra mustang that actually weighs less than the v-6 late model mustangs.
Now that was back in the mid-to late 80's through early 90's when 225 and 235 horsepower was the cats...
Yes I was aware of hear say, from other sources that the 3.7 liter was not going to stay in the Mustang, cost being the major drop of the base mustang engine. The 3.5 liter v-6 has a shorter stroke which is great for a performance point of view.
The shorter stroke allows higher HP and higher...
That's a thought the 5.0 liter that I would personally love to own, and could If I left it parked most of the time. I can remember when gas was 27.9 a gallon for leaded Sonoco 96 octane and 37.9 a gallon for 101 octane leaded high test. That is why I choose the v-6 with a turbocharger add on.
The 227 cubic inch 6 cylinder engine in my eye's is the best mill Ford has ever introduced to the American public since the 4.0 liter was first introduced over two decade's prier. Here's why I love the v-6 3.7 liter mill. 500 rear wheel Horsepower is only a Borg Warner
v-6 nothing new to say at least
:gossip:Running high 10's with a mid-size turbocharger install with a 2012 V-6 and automatic transmission with 4000 rpm stall converter. 3.73 gears, Aluminum driveshaft. Auburn limited slip differential. Long tube 1 3/4" headers 3" collector Borg Warner...
In my eye's the 3500 + pound 2015 Mustang is too heavy to use such a small 2.3 liter engine in the first place. Take a look around you and you will see the same going on in Chrysler and GM cars even before Ford had there turbocharged 2.3 liter unit refitted for turbo abuse four cylinder engine...
Great debate, the 3.7 liter is what going on four years old! If memory serves me the 4.0 liter was in the Mustang line up for two decades. And has been off the market now for good since the end of 2010. Has me guessing just how long the all new for 2011 3.7 L v-6 will be on duty.
Wish they...
Myself also seen that on a dealer website, often try to remember which site I saw it on. You know that was then what about now the price hast to be lower still yet. It might be that dealer that will not advertise claiming prices to low to show. I bet I can find it, let you know if I do!
I get in a hurry some and do not edit, thanks for the info. "My bad" Yes the discounts for yesteryears tech verses the all new 2015 tech. and !#@$^% I am?!?!... I've got to test and weigh out the long, and the short of both, to for see if I can live with one 4 years or more, and be happy with...
$22,618.41 OTD 2014 with performance package choice of stick or automatic available with my dads Z plain. Cuts close to 5 large off the OTD purchase. Butt, your looking at yester year's technology. Still a great car at that price for sure.
I'll test drive the four and V-six & the V-8 as well...
You know the 2014 v-6 is L@@King better everyday, the stick shift with the performance package $22,618.91 out the door with dads retirement at Ford called the Z plan, $4786.00 off the purchase of the 2014 local dealer quote.
Now this is the base model with the performance package being the...
what ere they thinking
You mean to tell me you can not get that med. sand stone interior any more?? Isn't that stupid? What were they thinking? That irks me to no end. That goes to show that black did not sell well at all. And may have a abundance of the fabric already bought from years back...
Must be nice to have all the money to purchase what ever your heart desires, Some people have it made in the shade. I may still get a 2014 v-6 with the performance package. If after test driving the 2015
It has to more than have a pretty face in order to move me to have to pay on the car for...
Thing is, It now comes with 3.15 rear set's now, and no more 2.75 rear set's, 5 HP loss or what it will still be inherently faster with the shorter gears out back. Granted It will not out run the 2014 v-6 with the performance package.
If I do get one it will be the base model with the v-6...
There is enough Mustangs with v-8 engines to go around for a long, long, time to come. Better yet go get out 40 large, and get a GT anyway you like. Add 25 large and get a Shelby cobra! and then either those said or add 80 large and get the factory built twin turbocharged 5.8 liter with 662 HP...
I sure wish I could think the v-8 will be around for a long time also, but when you hear it from the chief engineer Patrick?? something last name!?!? said quote un quote. That the four cylinder engines are the future engines that will run all of our line up. Like it hate it... we have to live...
