The only real time you see some limitations is when you start to mod it while trying to stay under the threshold where it is not modified so much that it is irrelevant.

[SpectorV]

there are 1000's of reasons to buy a V6 Mustang over a V8, just because its not the right choice for you does not mean that it isnt for someone else.

It could be insurance, or its cheaper for a newer car (why buy an 03 cobra vs a newer V6... perhaps reliability etc who knows). Many may simply not need the extra power.

Heck, why buy an 05-09 GT when you can get a 2011 V6 with the same hp and basically the same performance for the same price and get a newer, different body style (newer style) along with a warranty and better mileage~ who knows

Be VERY thankful V6 owners picked the V6 due to the sales of the V6 ALLOW V8's to be produced, without selling V6 stangs there would be no V8 Mustang produced.

There's obviously 2 sides to this dead horse

[V6 stang]

People buy v6's for a lot of reasons. Better gas mileage. Way cheaper insurance. Nice looking ride (mustangs are pretty, no matter a v6 or Shelby). Didn't have the money for a v8. Want something sporty but don't need something as powerful as a v8. V6 is still peppy, and still a muscle car. Especially compared to what a lot of people get now a days: 4cyl's for gas savings. Without the v6 there is no mustang, haters need to appreciate. We are all a mustang family bonded by the name, and you idiots that hate on v6's are breaking the brotherhood. The v6 is fast enough for plenty of normal people. Only the extremes are on these forums for the most part and that's why v8's matter so much here.

I don't know about y'all but I have to have a v8 to compensate for down stairs.. right guys... are you w me??

lol IMO I'd own a wrx b4 a v6 Stang... or a 370 z, or older m3, or a 240, or s2000, or focus St...ect

I'm not bashing a v6... I have an opinion like u.. I don't want a v6. U obviously do. Doesn't mean I hate people with a sixer.

Most of the time I hear people say they got it for gas mileage and I say well why didn't you buy a Prius lol once again not hating!

I don't understand why anyone would buy a gt... The cobra/gt500 is such a better car. My ten year old cobra lays waste to any gt in my area.

[Shelby09]

Better not bash on a gt.. Somebody's gonna flip the hell out lol

I'll deffenatly be getting a gt500 when I'm ready to buy another. Most people can't afford a GT500 tho and even cobras are still pretty expensive for the average mustang buyer.

[Venomouz831]

I've owned both a v6 and gt and I was dumb to buy the 6 I just rushed it when I was looking for a mustang. Don't get me wrong I loved that car but it was a no brainer to get a v8. Anyways its true though without the v6 there wouldn't be an 8. And all this about people can't afford a gt i think it's bogus, the new 6ers are over 26k.. With tht money you can buy a 03/04 cobra or 05-09 gt. I will believe maybe the gas mileage thing but not that they can't afford a different stang. But i love all stangs

But what if you want a certain body style a d can't afford the gt in that style? That was definitely the case for me. But going from a piece of **** Daewoo to my beautiful V6 I am extremely appreciative for what I have.

You have to compare apples to apples. A 26k V6 new has to be compared to a new V8. etc

You can get a base gt with what people spend on a top of the line sixer

But I see people on the forum pass on a 11+base gt for a well packaged 11+ v6 tht will end up costing the same

Again. Apples to apples. Not everyone gets a fully loaded V6 and complains they can't afford a GT.

But what would a top of the line GT cost? If you like the body and want certain options, I don't see what the problem is. Many people, actually MOST people could care less for the V8, they just think the Mustang looks cool and that is it.

You dig me?

[CYCLON37]

I've got a 12 V6 and I'm a bit disappointed with the power tbh. It's not terrible but was expecting more. I think it feels alright from around 20-80. Anything under or above is pretty slow imo. I've driven a couple 3v's and they are definitely quicker. You can really feel that extra torque. I think gears and a tune will help a lot on the 3.7. I would like to upgrade to a 5.0. But I gotta see if it'll be a good financial decision next year.

Sort of, I'm just saying If I could afford a 25k+ car I would get a gt but thts just me everyone has their opinions and I'm not hating either.

[Rcary]

Hey hey hey now I like my v6 alot don't hate. And I'm still in college so it's what I could afford with insurance and all. Only been in my ex sister in laws gt but it was an 04. Kinda scarred to get in one of the newer gts to see the big difference but I'm happy with what I got. Once I get outta college and turn 25 imma buy myself a nice present aka a new gt! That's the plan right now lol

As stated above I'm not hating I have an 02 bolt on gt and a11+6 will probably beat me.

I had a V6 stang in college too. Makes a lot of sense. Got a GT after grad school and don't think I'll ever get another stang without a V8.

Wasn't directed to you. I would go as far as having all those foreigns instead but to each his own lol

I don't want a v6. I was 17 and payed cash for my car, I couldn't afford a gt nor the insurance. A not ragged out gt with 100k miles is like 7-8k and up.

They want a brand new car obviously not a old one that god know how the previous owners treated.

Maybe they do and to each their own I was just stating that everyone has their own opinion and if I had the money to buy a new one I would get a base gt just IMO but I can't cuz I can't afford it and again not bashing anyone cuz I love all stangs.

[V6 stang]

I'm in college too. But trust me when I get out and start making big money with my degree, I plan on spending 50k+ for my stang.

We own a cobra, gt, v6, and lx...
To me they're all mustangs. I started in a v6 and loved that car. Bought the v6 because I was 17 and bought a same year model v6 with under 20k miles for 13k. Never owned a new vehicle.

But...still haven't found a gt,ss, or rt around here that will keep up. They've started backing out in the staging lanes.

+1,000 there is a Mustang out there for everyone depending on your desires and finances. We are all Stang lovers no matter what.

Lol, that's like saying why get a gt when you can buy a bugatti? Sorry but at the end of the day, you still have 6 cylinder engine in a muscle car.[COLOR="Silver"]

[Silversky545]

My take on v6 muscle cars....

If is see a sick looking Stang... then the owner starts the engine and is a six... it makes me feel like all my excitement was for nothing...

Or a gt that is insanely loud but only runs a 14...
