V6 Mustangs Suck

I wouldn't go as far as to say they suck. It's different strokes for different folks. Some people don't want a V8 for whatever reasons they may have.

For me personally...i could only own a V8 Mustang.

I often lust after a V8, but I drove a 2001 GT recently, (stock) and it didn't feel blindingly fast like I was expecting. It was quicker than my modified V6, but not all that much. I remember my old '88 5.0 would really shove you back in the seat, but this 4.6 didn't do that.

It's more or less how the torque on the 4.6L comes on.


Both my '88 5.0 and '03 GT run pretty much the same ET. I've gone 14.1 with the GT and my '88 has gone 14.0 with an automatic transmission. So basically the same...but the 5.0 feels WAY faster simply because of the torque. With the 4.6L, it comes on way later and smoother, so the car simply doesn't feel fast at all. It makes all it's power in the upper RPM range as well, so going WOT at 2000RPM can be disappointing. However, get on the highway and roll through 3rd and 4th and the car screams. My GT would rape my 5.0 on the highway. Wouldn't even be close.

Doesn't mean it isn't...but you aren't the first person to say a 4.6L doesn't feel fast at all. And you won't be the last. I said the same thing when i bought my car.
