low end torque V6 vs. high rpm V6. that's how it works.
The camaro V6 = 273#s of torque
Mustang = 240#s of torque
they dont say what RPM....but that doesnt matter much. I doubt its an 8000RPM V6 in the camaro. And in any case....once you get off the line it makes zero difference.
I would say....extremely poor design vs good design
You have to be retarded to have another companys V6...thats .4L smaller, outperform your V6 on TORQUE by 33#sFord is starting to get me POd...lets step it up already!
the 4.0L is a truck engine. it's designed for low end torque on 87 octane. it may not make more PEAK torque, but does pull harder at lower rpm. the Chevy engine is a higher compression V6 that revs to 7000rpm if i am not mistaken. that engine will make more of it's torque around 3500+ rpm.
the 300hp V6 only pulls a mid 14 in the 1/4 in the new Camaro. good for a V6 no doubt, but "300hp" in that car is kinda misleading due to torque delivery and weight.
just checked out GM's specs. max HP @ 6400rpm, max TQ @ a lofty 5200rpm and redline is indeed 7000rpm.
also, the base price of a Mustang V6 is $3500 less than the Camaro V6 will be. that will probably change when Ford drops a 3.7L 300hp V6 in the 2011 Mustangs.
the 3.6 is direct injection.
Ok....so....
2010 Mustang W/ 4.0L V6 = 210HP
2010 Camaro LS/LT W/ 3.6L V6 = 300HP
Now how does that work?
4.6 4v V8 305 hp Mach 1
vs
5.7 V8 305 hp LS1
How does that work?
now lets see 2 stock cars like the above ones race and see who wins......

I have 315rwhp & 327rwtq in my Mach 1, & my buddy has 342rwhp & 359rwtq in his LS1 GTO & we are neck & neck all the way up to 140mph???
LS1 GTO & 03-04 Mach 1 is a drivers race with the GTO having a HP advantage, but the Mach having a weight advantage.... Drivers race IMO. I have also pulled on a few lightly modded 98-02 Camaro's as well....
Pretty sad that damn near a whole liter more in cubes, but not much faster... & since when was an LS1 only rated @ 305hp????
4.6 4v V8 305 hp Mach 1
vs
5.7 V8 305 hp LS1
How does that work?
I don't know if we want to go down the road of comparing the ls1 to a 4.6 4v, the thread was originally about v6's. I have yet to see a 4v car make 410-420hp(350-365rhp) with the stock intake, camshaft, and untouched heads.
I know, Im not trying to turn this into an LS1 vs 4V thread, but i had to throw that out there when I saw the comment about seeing who would win in a race. Im not debating that the LS1 is a superior motor, but Mach's can hang with LS1 GTO's & Camaro's all day stock for stock...Modded LS1 camaro's are a different story...& C5 Z06's, now thats a whole different league that you are talking about. The 410hp u are referring to is in the Z06 right, not the camaro?
As far as V6's go, i will take an import V6 over an america one any day of the week unless you are talking about a grand national....
