Two Wheel Peel said:Hi guys, I have two questions for you. I'd like to know how much the v6 model weighs. I looked on Ford's websight and I can't find it anywhere.
Also, is it true that the v6 engine has forged internals? I heard that somewhere, but once again, Ford's websight says nothing.
Thanks.
Two Wheel Peel said:Hey man, thanks for the info sheet. But, you will have to re-read it. It says right there that you have aluminum pistons, and forged connecting rods.
Two Wheel Peel said:I've just been curious lately. I've seen used 05 and 06 v6 models selling for $15,500. I love the new body. And I figured if the car doesn't weigh that much and really does have forged internals, then hell, that's the best deal. Buy one and bolt on the Vortech kit or the other company who offers a turbo.
That gives you a light weight car, reliable engine, reduced insurance rates, and lower up-front cost over the GT. And it's something I could drive year round without feeling guilty.
Here is the dealer that has these low priced cars. They have been in business for years and nobody can beat them in the area.

Cactuar said:LOL that engine looks like burning. I wont be mucking around with nitrous on my poor v6. I had no plans for it in the first place and after your hindsight offering here developing any plans for it on an engine with stock internals has become unthinkable.
Hypereutectic pistons should be used with caution when running a higher boost pressures with a turbo charger or super charger to an engine.....and its just flat out right scary with nitrous.
