Does that .1L make any difference?

ONLYaUNCfan · November 21st, 2010, 07:32 PM

I'm not sure to the year types for each (3.7,3.8,3.9), but does that .1L make any difference between the v6s?

Or are they just year specific and over time they made just enough improvements to add that .1L?

GreenMustang00 · November 21st, 2010, 07:33 PM

the 04 is a 3.9l and that doesnt change from out 3.8s.. but the new v6 is a 3.7 and it pushes another 100 horse down

Codeman · November 21st, 2010, 07:37 PM

Nope the liter does not matter.

Well as far as 3.8 and 3.9

But the 3.7 is a completely different motor, it is DOHC v6, while the 3.8 and 3.9 are both pushrod motors.

Well it has too because they're a lot bigger/heavier.

So a 3.7 v6 is better than a 3.8 v6? Just because it has a DOHC over a pushrod?

IN a simple term kind of. The 3.7 with the DOHC allows more air fuel into the cylinders thus allowing more HP. They also have a lot of more advanced methods, I am sure they have better flowing heads, stuff like that. But basically.

What year models are the 3.7s? I've seen a few but I don't get to pop the hoods of a lot of stangs since all of them have sold pretty much.

one of the many reasons, are you just discovering this now?

Codeman · November 21st, 2010, 08:07 PM

That is not always true as far as performance. I mean you have to look at the downsides of OHC vs pushrod which is the compexity and the fact that it is extremely expensive to work on. But yes a DOHC engine with 4 valves per cylinder will flow better then just 2 valves percylinder. There are other variables such as valve size, port design, such and such, but generally DOHC is better.

I think like 4 hp.

In other words not a real noticeable difference lol.

I am sure if you put a 3.8 auto and a 3.9 auto stock for stock at the drag strip they would have ALMOST the exact time as long as 60 foots were the same etc. That 3.7 is a totally different story, that thing gives stock new edge GT's a run for their money

Codeman · November 21st, 2010, 09:34 PM

The 3.7l gives the 10' GTs a run for their money.

Rich J · November 21st, 2010, 09:36 PM

Fine I should have rephrased it.

The 3.7 gives stock - mildly bolted on GT's red butt holes, and gives the '10 GTs the thought "Should have waited a year before buying this car."

Pfft nothing is expensive to work on when you do it all yourself...

Dohc is nice but i'll still take a nice push rod z06 any day
