about the topic:

I honestly would never buy a V6 sports car unless it was a porsche (and I saw an 02 911 on the highway today, just about drooled all over my interior :D:D)...and one of those things needs nothing done to it :)...so I would never get the chance to mod a V6....

for clarification,

porsche 911 is classified an "horizontally opposed 6" (i think that is the correct phrase) or "boxer 6"

inline 6:
supra tt
bmw

v6:
3000gt vr4
300zx tt
buick grand national
vr6 volkswagen
etc,

...obviously i dont know much about engines...i think 6 spark plags means 6 cylinders, whihc means V6, so thank you for saying that, I do like learning when I'm wrong by a technicality...

but i cant help feel like you just grabbed my balls and asked me to cough...lol

didn't mean to be blunt...........just saw an opportunity to share some "other car" knowlegde............maybe save someone some real life embarrassment in the future.....cause lord knows i've said some wrong things about cars to knowledgeable folk and gotten laughed at

well i dont really consider myself to be all that knowledgable when it comes to cars..which is why its great to part of this site, because when i do have an in depth quetsion these guys are always around to answer me :) ....course having a new car gives me no hands-on opportunites, I have worked a little with a 90GT, but like I said, still dont know a whole lot...reading some of the posts help too...which is why i appreciate people correcting me, and others...

A V-6 Mustang?

I might put some bolt-ons on it but nothing major....

Maybe some eibach springs to lower the stance a bit....

I would basically use it for what it was designed to be, sporty looking transportation....

and since it was brought up.... and that it happens to be somewhat of a tiresome subject that I hear in real life sometimes...

College: To me it means you were able to deal with homework, term papers, tests and rampant liberalism for 4+ years... not much else.

Looking back, I could have easily gone to college (3.85 GPA, great SAT scores). I skipped class half my senior year in high school and never studied.
Hell, I had some top schools including the Citadel knocking down my door.

I went to community college for one semester and found it to ba the same old crap that I had been doing for 12 years already.
I was bored to death and just stopped being interested....

I needed to go out and do something that MEANT something, that was CHALLENGING, something that would change me from being just intelligent to being experienced.

The Navy was the absolute best 4 years of my life, and some of the hardest.... I went from being a spoiled kid who had everything handed to me to someone that put his ***** out on the line every day in the most dangerous workplace on Earth.

What I saw and experienced there were more than any book or tenured professor could ever give me: experience, wisdom, and a grasp for what REALLY is important. Not what you drive, how much you make, or what certification you might have.... but what you are capable of when crap hits the fan. Whether in a tense meeting in a board room or working feet from an engine that could not only blow you off the ship, but roast you before you hit the water.....
How about eating MREs for two weeks while living out of tents in the 100 degree Mosquito-ridden heat of Puerto Rico's interior?
Or working 20 hours straight to make sure an air strike is on time and on-target?

Once you have dealt with true challenges, this daily suit and tie crap is cake....

When some people try to come up and impress me by sticking a college degree in my face, I gotta wonder... Who are they trying to impress more? Is it me or themselves?

(Cbring, this is nothing against you, but the subject was brought up and I wanted to comment on it.)

Well, I was thinking about some other things as well. If I got this car, I might wait until ater college and put a 5.0 or a 5.8 in it. That's probably my best solution.

You always got to be a smartass? Porsche 6 is a flat 6, yes, but it is also a 180 degree V. So JJonathon was correct in his statement about not buying a v6 unless its a Porsche.

1) the person that the comment was directed to seemed to have no problem with it

2) show me somewhere that classifies a 911 as a V6. there are many an enthusiast out there that is gonna laugh at you if you call it a V6. but hey, if an almighty mustang driver says it is a V6, then a V6 it is

Maybe I can give you a new perspective.
Your modding and acceptance will vary depending on your attitude.
I have a V6 (Firebird), I don't really care all that much for performance. I am an appearance only guy. Of course I maintain my V6, but I don't really care for performance....all of my performance mods include :
A muffler (no 's :() - Flowmaster 80
Synthetic Oil if you count it for the 2 hp gain I got.

Appearance wise, I have done much more.
The only performance mod I plan to get is a reworked exhaust, but more for the sound and attention it brings, not for the power gain.

slow down there...youre right I had no problem being corrected, but I did say I felt "violated"....and whats to say you arent the "all knowing gti owner"?....we need to try and keep the hostility levels down...deuce is right that you do try to be a smartass (or come off as one) but i'm a huge smartass too, so it didnt bother me...if it bothers him, then it bothers him...and he has that right to be bothered by your tone...i think you wont be attacked as much if the facetiousness is kept a little lower...I honestly like having a non-mustang owner hanging around and trying to be a regular, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't try to put down mustangers on a mustang site...granted some of us will put down some imports, but I wouldn't expect any of us to go to an import site and start to talk bad about their cars/owners....I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to say civilly especiialy since you do come off as a learned individual, so all of us should try to get along a little better, not to say we cant have those awesome debates!! :D I honestly can't trust your comment over deuce's and vice-versa because just two people have expressed opposite views since I'm near stupid when it comes to engine classifications...I wanna see this faught out though :D:D

i agree like inferno is cool he drives an import , but doesnt annoy us, pesonally he is one of the cooler guy's on here. take a lesson from him, & everyone will quit flaming you, including me, well maybe, lol. :D :D

lol, sure you'll you'll stop flaming him marty, sure you will.

-murray

if he will quit putting stang's down & drop his holier than thou attitude, sure i will leave him alone. you know i would rather laugh & joke , than flame. ;) :D

if you want to flame me, thats fine............but if you do, flame me with factual stuff instead of the "180 degree V" BS that someone might believe..........

The boxer engine, also called a "flat engine" or "pancake engine," is an engine whose cylinders are laid down on their sides. So instead of pumping up and down, as on an "in line" engine, or diagonally, as on a "V" engine, the pistons are "horizontally opposed," or on opposite sides of the crankshaft, pumping toward one another.

so lets see, it doesn't function like a "V" and doesn't look like a "V"............hmmm

sorry i wasnt in that one. :D

its a V! no wait....doh!....cool...now I understand why they call em that...:D...coolness on a stick :) thanks...

Cbring, I would be a little more careful than you are when you open your mouth. If it wasn't for the fact I was conceived in the back of a '65 k-code, there wouldn't be a make I was more familar with than Der Porsche.

I never said that I would call it a V. I just made the point that a 180degree V is mathematically as much of an interior angle than the standard 60 or 90(even the VR6's 15). That was my only point, to answer your glib with some of my own.

I might also suggest that you tone the attitude down a little bit. It may go over real nice at the flame fest you are used to, but we try and maintain a level of civility here. Before you judge my autotive knowledge, yes I have owned a vehilce both from Stuttgart and Wolfsburg, so I know a thing or two about the German car scene.

Heck, the only people I can't hold an intelligent conversation with at the LA internation auto show are the guys in the DC sports booth who want to talk about neon an NAWSSS.

(BTW your might gti is slower than my car;) )

i know you would, lol, its funnier than hell to get people that take things to seriously and freak out going. its like i always say 'if you can't have a sense of humour you just aren't worth any oxygen.':D

any FREE oxygen....should make those people pay for it at the oxygen bars...rofl
