Why do V6 Mustang owners rice up...

I'm not saying ALL new GT owners have an arrogance, Marty.

Lizard King the 5.4L trucks had tremendous crank problems. Lot's of them went bad, just for the record. Also, the V6 redline is NOT 5200rpm. Jeez. It makes it's max power right where the 4.6L does. 190hp@5250rpm I'm not sure where redline is. The new V6 isn't the old 145-150hp V6 turd you'll find in the 1994-1998 cars. With a 5spd and a good driver, the new V6 is a true low 15 threat right off the floor. MM&FF got one to pull off a 14.97 or so back a couple years with no money in. Just the freebies like pulling the spare and jack, etc.

The 3.8L bottom end is quoted as being okay to 350hp. That's about where the 4.6L becomes iffy, is it not? www.v6power.net Why do people always read only what they want to? I never said the 3.8L was superior, or that it was so much better. I said it would go neck and neck. That implies equal. There certainly are some 4.6L's making more than 350hp on the stock bottom end, but I don't know as it's recommended.

I don't know what would lead you to think the parts in the 3.8L would be so much inferior to V8 parts? The V8 has no forged components. It's just like any other commuter car in the parts department. Obviously the less number of cylinders, the more stress you're asking the individual parts to take for the same power. I'm just pointing out the V6 is no performance dud anymore. Much like it's big brother the 4.6L, the V6 finally got some go power worthy of a Mustang.

Sean himself apparently does good work, but I've heard that he has a lot of "assistants" who aren't up to snuff. I read something, make note of the information, but I don't store the source. I visit a couple different Mustang sites, and I search many more.
