PerformanceRed said:SO let me try to understand what you are saying here. Are you saying that the 2004 Mustang V6 has a 3.9 Liter engine in it? And that it does "NOT" have the 3.8 Liter engine? If this is true, then wouldn't the 3.9 liter engine put out a little more horsepower than the standard 193 horsepower that the 3.8 Liter 2001-2003 V6 Mustangs have? Please enlighten me on this. Thanks.
PerformanceRed said:If what you are saying is true, then it will be much harder to get parts for the 3.9 Liter engine when it needs service, unless everything on it is "universal" to the 3.8 Liter engine. I am not sure whether all the external and internal engine parts on the 3.9 Liter engine is "universal" and would also fit the 3.8 Liter engine? IMHO, the 3.9 Liter was a "waste" for Ford to build. Especially if they are going to build it only for 1 year. They should have stuck with the 3.8 Liter engine instead.

PhantomGT said:If you notice too, the 99 / 01 cobra and the 3.8L V6 have VERY similar heads, so this is fantastic news.
PhantomGT said:Umm,apparently you have never owned a 01 cobra, because it isn’t just the engine, it's got a little IRS in the back, better suspension, and new front bumper which allows more air to come in, and it also matches the hood a lot better than the tacky V6/GT front end that we all got. Granted, if Ford threw the 01 cobra bumper on the v6, it would look a hella lot better, but they didn’t.
And your comparison on the ford emblem is not a good one, I would have compared it to something more or less like the Monaro to GTO or Charger to C300...
PonyJoe said:The sad part is that your car does have 193 hp. It may not be wheeled HP, but they were doing an engine dyno, not a chassis dyno. All the newer Mustangs have 193 crank HP, but a lot is lost due to the transmission and gearing.
