051A Guard V6 Review

[Malikona]

They are just twisting words to throw off customers, it's marketing 101,

So you are saying that 300 hp is not 'full power'? Seems to me like that would be more than marketing speak, it would be straight-up false advertising. Because I've heard Ford reps say that about the V6 on 87 octane fuel on several occasions. You really think they are just trying to make people think it is weaker than the EB when it's really not? My apologies if I am misinterpreting what you said, but I have a hard time believing that. Especially since it's something that people will obviously discover once the car is out in the world for a little bit.

Fact is if an engine like the 3.7 doesn't require higher octane fuel simply going from 87 to 93 will not add power or mpg on a non tuned car...

It's all good in California we dont have 93 so I'm stuck with 91...so I wonder what the ecoboost gets at 91 vs 93

Just updated my review! Have about 460 miles on the car now! Loving it even more. Defiantly the best decision I made in going with the v6. Like always please let me know if you have any specific questions or requests and I will do my best to answer them!

Break it in and then throw a cai/axleback/tune on it...your mpg and fun will both go up

Would the same apply to the GT and EB?

Yes it definitely should!...from experience I've had the 11 3.7 auto with 2.73 gears...the tune completely changes the car...so does increasing the gears (you'll lose Mpgs though)...I wouldn't worry about the warranty on the six or the 5.0... The ecoboost I personally would

This is definitely the most defiant Mustang review so far! :lol:

On a serious note though, thanks so much for posting all the info. I was basically sold on getting an EB, but you are making me reconsider.

The only true reviews are going to be the ones that compare all 3. The continual leaving out of the V6 so people can compare the new body with it to the new EB is just slim shady. ;)
