My parents never gave me a stupid car i had to buy one myself.. After owning a dozen diffrent cars in my life i have to say ive never owned a v6 stang or a 4cyl for that matter.. Sure id buy a v6 stang but i would drop a mod'd supercoupe motor in it.. 4cyl svo's i love too... But everyone i know with a v6 stang and everyone i run into around here with one is a tool and thinks they are fast.. Sorry but they arent... Im not even much a fan of the npi 4.6 i just wanted a sn95 and couldnt find a 5.0 that wasnt ragged.. But it grows on you.. its cheap to drive and you can beat the crap out of it without it flying apart. Im sick of seeing 3 tier spoilers and dual fart cans on v6 mustangs its rice thats all it is actually its worse than rice because its says 'i wanted a riced out civic but i couldnt afford one so my mommy bought me this instead so now i have to spend my days making it into a riced out civic' Look at it this way why spend $10,000 on a used v6 when you can buy a nice cobra for the same price? I passed on many v6 stangs because its just not the same. If thats what you want go for it but i get 27mpg on average and my insurrance is cheap.. not only that but it didnt cost much to begin with! I drive 65miles a day round trip and was driving a 98 integra for a dd (stock no rice sh**) sold it and bought the mustang.. I saved more than $30 a month on insurance! and went from 30mpg to 27mpg the 4.6 will run way longer than a 3.8 and probably gets about the same gas mileage if not better...
As for racing the stang ive not as much as took it to the track and i really dont care it probably is a 14.5 ish car i dunno... cai catback and pi intake wheee ohh and its a 3.27 geared 5speed so that helps a bit... I have no 1/4 mile tracks anywhere near me and the closest 1/8th is 1.5hrs drive! The last time i had the t-bird there i was running 8.9s with stock injectors and 5% blower od stock tranny stock gears stock TC... and no tune.. Now i have 20% blower od 42's a 75mm maf 255lph pump.. Need to get it tuned but it know its ALOT stronger than it was so yeah its probably capable of high 12's I also have a 3.73 pumpkin i havent swapped in yet.. Its a 4100lb car so to get it moving at all is doing somthing..
