Mustang v6's are thye pretty fast compared to other v6 sports cars or are they like slow. Stock now. I have heard people say they are slow untily you actually mod them then they get fast.. Vise versa. .. So how do they compare?

[GreenFaleen]

Year for year they are pretty quick I mean they aren't the fastest thing, but you can beat a lot of other v6 cars. Your normal rice dominated imports like civics and eclipse's you can take, you can run with pre 99 gt's, and other various cars you far from the fastest car in the world but you can take a good amount of cars.

cept my model. Jesus I had some v6's in my generation. 3000gt, 300zx, Supra just to name a few.

Now the v6 Mustang compared to other v6s is a little behind. They are not the most powerful, but they have low end torque, which many other v6's don't have. That right there gives us a great edge. Since we use that low end torque to get us off the line quicker, and then for the rest of it we are in the powerband if you keep at it (powerband starts at 3000 rpms). Now with the 99-04 generation it is quicker than plenty of cars, because you really didn't see to many v6 cars in those years to really be competition with the class the Mustang is in. If you went with the 94-98 sn-95 generation...your v6 would be slow compared to other v6s of it's generation.

if we're comparing V6s to other V6s the Honda Accord V6 had 260Hp, the 350z and G35 come at 290+ hp and 300hp pending the year on the (not including the 4 door g35)...Mercedes has the C series Kompressor with a V6....now all these cars stock wiill beat a stock V6 99-04 easy....the 260hp accord 6 speed version runs a 14.7 stock....The new Eclipse with the Mi-Vec V6 will run high 14s and is 260hp....when comparing V6's unless its a SUV or bs V6 Camry its nothing to special until poweradders are in...which then again power adders in any other cars mentioned will walk still

Although the Essex v6 is a stout little platform, it lags behind in stock performance by quite a margin. Ford has had little reason to really develop this performance wise because they have always had the the v8s to call their "performance" market option. Other car makers that have a v6 as their big engine ticket put out some nice performance because they know they're competing with the likes of a v8 market. And put a fair amount of R&D into them for performance. Another thing Ford has to contend with is the v6 performance vs their v8 performance. As they increase their v6 output, the v8s must increase an amount to keep them still marketable. I still remember the first time I was on the freeway, shortly after I bought my 02/v6, and I downshifted and floored it into 3rd to get around some cars. And the only thing that happened was my engine got louder.

but now he^ has a m112 eaton supercharger on his V6 to make up for it...

Im still waiting on that bracket which I know when made someone will replicate it and it'll be 1/2 the price

[02ponypackage]

also is that the side skirt lip I see on your car....ive seen it on Ebay adds an extra inch or so onto the stock side skirts...

[MustanG_guy17]

The 90's v6's were fast.. I remember my older brothers 94 ford taurus SHO. That thing was fast for a v6 stock. He then wrecked it in a race going 125 and blew a tire. went off the road and smashed into trees.. he survived it...

3000gt's and supras are in a class of their own... supras are the ULTIMATE street car imo. nothing like a 900hp dd

[02ponypackage]

ok ^^^ lets make this correct....Cricket the Supra isn't a V6 its a I-6...3000GT isn't anything special unless its a VR-4 because they too are heavy as hell and without the AWD turbo like the SL version its nothing...and still the 3000GT is a V6 and which is the same class as us period....and 900hp aren't the best daily driver cars...most cars up that high aren't the best daily drivers...and Supras just happen to be very high matainence cars approaching big numbers....also another car in the V6 class which is a exotic is the Nobile m12 which has a ford taurus v6 block with twin turbos and weighs nothing

300zx's are slow... way too heavy.
i didnt really mean dd, but 900hp supras are completely streetable unlike some of its v8 counterparts. but thats true about the 3000gt's i drove one and it = slow as hell. it was the base 3000gt

[SSStang]

How about 6 cylinder cars in general then.

In which case the supra is nice
And of course the skyline -

im sure they meant cars that you see at least once a week lol instead of NEVER!

[VSR13]

my friends boss is looking at having us go pick up 3 skyline r33's i believe in canada and bringing them bak so he can sell them

[GreenFaleen]

I have a friend importing a rx7, a silvia, and a skyline very soon I can't wait he said hell let me drive the 7 lol.

But for the price you pay for a v6 stang over the price for a faster 6 like the supra or Vr-4 the stang is a strong competitor. And a great base to build off of

[02ponypackage]

oh your forget the 300zx twin turbo....if im not mistaken a early 90s will run high 13s stock....slow eh ? you forget the different models to take account for....and high HP streetable cars pends on how it was built....ive seen 11second cars that arent the best street cars at all and 10 second ones that have better MPG, faster, and more reliable....doesnt matter the cylinders...the car can be built for specific reasons...the black sn95 GT mustang you may see on Streetfire known as the " Supra slayer " which is Wolverines(Willie's) car... is out here in the orlando area....it can run 30psi on its turbo setup and its a streetable car...and from what I hear its gona be boosting more then that and is already over 1000hp...i thought i heard he wanted 1400hp....but done right keeping streetable in mind can be done....other wise have a gutted car no air bags or electronics huuuge cam and all motor shit no power steering and run 10s yeah with under 600hp to the wheels but sucks balls on the street even if its not a V8 because its not built for it

your missing my point. im just stating that supras are amazing street/strip cars....

[02ponypackage]

so is a civic with a 03/04 SVT swap...but saying it more reliable the V8s you cant just put ur opinion there...because theres 4 cyls and 6 cyls that are not reliable if built for the track only much like the V8s ur referring to...so i can see ur point as a street car that performs better then track only cars...applying to any cylinders

[ByPopularDemand]

Supras are dyno queens...very capable of making huge numbers...but the times don't get too much lower

[Cesar2cool]

Supras are baaadddd!!! lol gotta admit..
