Simple reasons to go with a V6 over the V8: - Better gas milage (good for long racing or road trips) - Lighter, especially over the front end, which results in better weight distribution. This makes it better for racetrack (non-drag) builds - A lot Cheaper to buy - Cheaper to run - More reliable Simple reasons to go with the V8: - Better soundtrack - More torque - More power - Style points - Murica There are pros and cons to each.

Going from a 4 cylinder Jetta to a stock 07' V6 is crazy fast to me. Only thing I miss about my Jetta is the little bit a gas it sipped. My Mustang is thirsty but it's so worth it. I love my Mustang so much. I did my first burn out a week ago and felt so bad ass. I'm a Mustang owner for life now.

I love all the v6 hater comments. At the end of the day there's 3 people here: 1) people that have v6's and looking for something for THEIR car. 2) people who like mustangs in general to see what's out there for the market. 3) haters The 3rd group can go jump off the cliff cause your not helping anyone other than flaming people and starting crap to make you feel more secure about your insecure life driving a Honda.

I had an '03 Sunfire my mom gave me when I got my license. Took a year off from college to save up for and buy an '05 V6 Mustang a few months back. Driving it around is one of the most satisfying things I've ever experienced. People can bash the V6 Mustangs all they want, but they're still fun as hell to drive, and they're still pretty quick.

Mustang V6 Haters are writing their comments while driving a 1.3l Renault

Those v6 cars are kool they are zippy and fun I have driven a v6 stock 2008 100 miles an hour at 3 rpm tops out at 6 500 rpm I think and it's got 120 on the top end fast for a v6 don't hate congratulate.. we are all car guys and girls

Nice build.. Yea 4.0's don't have the monster HP #'s but I think the v6 is pretty nice.. Ive driven a bunch of the 4.0 stangs and yea they aren't a v8 but with THE RIGHT mods can be made to be ballsy car.. All the mods done in the vid were a pretty good picks but heres what I would have changed.. I would have gone all steada stuff,upper and lower control arms,third link and brace,X5 ball joints,ultralight hood,ultralight springs,s&s and their stock upgrade brake kit and some SS brake lines and wouldn't have picked the Pypes m80 exhaust because in some states its not legal to have a strait thru muffler but replaced it with a Dynomax chambered or VT dual conversion to get rid of the exhaust drone when cruising and they are both 50 state legal or stuck with a single out replacement muffler to get the sound and a little better flow.I would like to see the tune on a stock engine with CAI,Throttle body,shorty headers,demon ignition and wires on a single exhaust to see if the HP to money ratio is worth it...Think about it the extra weight of a dual exhaust system on a 4.0..something to think about! . My one beef with the 4.10 is yea they can pull better but they get much higher RPM on the highway.. I would have kept the stock gearing or gone with a 3.42 rear gear and spent a bit on some shorty headers and a throttle body so that lower to mid rpm pull is nicer since the cars TQ is catered for idle to 4k and it needs a bit less gear to pull in its sweet spot or get a used 8.8 with 3.31..another rear end option since the 8.8 comes with better axles and have a trac-loc diff..The enemy of the 4.0 is adding weight to it so the power to weight ration is key..yes it looks cool to add 20 inch wheels and huge tires but theres a few things t think about if ya want driveablity and a performance boost and this thinking goes for v8 stangs too..

I got a V6 and love it, and with mods i CAN beat my buddies 5.0, unfortunately, his car is just as open to mods as mine, so once he added his gears, and tune etc, he stomped me all over again. So though true it's a lovely car, in the long run beating a modded 5.0 may just not be there, however a stock 5.0 all day long. Mustang is a mustang, if you complain about people driving a 3.7L v6, then go hate on hondas, and toyotas and the likes It's not just removing 2 cylinders, it's new age technology, back in the old days, 8 cylinders were pushing 100hp and that was impressive, now we have 4 cylinders pushing out over 500 at the crank, so don't judge just by the amount of cylinders in the car, judge by the technology of the engine, and how much more efficient it is

This gives v6 owners like myself hope lol u guys shuld do videos with LT header mid pipe combos. And im 19 learning all i can so comment on this if anyone has any advice for a fellow ford lover! Much appreciated!!

I just bought an 09 V6, they're a very good deal right now. It does feel like it's missing a little something, but im definitely not trying to make V8 power, if i was i would have bought a GT. I do plan on an exhaust and a cold air intake, which this video helped me to decide which to go with. They're great cars, and i think with just a bit of an HP bump, the one i bought is going to be perfect

I have an 01 ranger with the 4.0 v6, I agree, I actually have done all of these mods except the last, and the traction bars, I have to say..it has good power for an engine designed back in the 60's, especially with the akward jack shaft combination these things have

I just bought a 06 mustang v6. The guy I bought it from did not know much about the history on the car. I am in my sixties and have had a few hot rods in my day. And some damn fast motorcycles. So I knew this car felt fast. The car has a cold air intake, dual exhaust and a bama tuner on it. That is all I know of. How ever my cousin just bought a brand new 2019 ford mustang gt and I outran him quarter mile and top end. He is furious lol. I wonder what else has been done to this car. I am planning to get official numbers at a local drag strip soon. By the way this is the first Ford I have ever owned and it is making me smile everytime I drive it. Reminds me of the good old days. It really sounds more like a v8 than a v6 with the dual exhaust. Most v6's sound like a mad bee in a can or worst. Best thing also I paid under two thousand dollars for it. Everything works on the car including the a/c. Only thing it needs is a paint job. It is faded and clear coat peeling.

Hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks for the great video! I'm 18, and I recently acquired a fullstock '05 with an auto trans as my second car, but I'm already looking to upgrade it, and your video set me well on my way!

Had to get rid of my 350z so ended up getting a v6 mustang, wish the exhausts weren't so expensive, nice car over all!

Just got my bama 93 tune on my 07 v6. Its got ported intake throttle body performance distributors coil pack 10 mm wires and roush intake. the v6 hate is stupid fr. Enjoy your ride love mine

I have a v6 now but when I get another it will probably be a v8 just because I love the sound.

you guys should put NOS one one of these v6 mustangs and make a video!

I just wish more people understood that the V6 “muscle” cars are really sports cars, with a lighter and more fuel efficient engine to help with longer drives and actually being able to take it to a track or something, compared to the V8’s which are made basically to throw you back in your seat and rip the 1/4 mile.

These upgrades may give the sixer a foghting chance against a v8 out of the hole, but after that the race belongs to the v8. Wish you guys had a heads up race against a stock GT, but nice vid none the less!

Hey the v6 is pretty strong it will flat get with it it surprised me how stong it is and alot easier on the fuel gauge!!!

I own an 2007 Mustang V-6 with 5 speed manual tranny. I have added an Airaid CAI with a custom tune and added 3.73 gears to the ass end. No it does not have the HP that a V-8 does, but it will get up and move fast enough for me, and besides I look good cruising in it : )

Man I need all that for my baby 😍😍

That actually sounds really good for a v6

how to spend $2k on 16 horsepower

That exhaust needs a cutout so it's not lopsided coming out the back of the car. Just a suggestion. My '05 v6 has a dual exhaust from Ford Racing that I got on AM. Came with cutout templates and covers and it's not lopsided. Looks great.

What’s funny is I’ve ran my 05 mustang on a Dyno last fall and stock it got numbers around 200hp and about 230lft/bs of torque. Last month it got 240hp and 280ft/lbs of torque. It’s almost full bolt on as well. How did that mustang make so much less hp 😂. Yes a full bolt on an “05-09 V6 will give a v8 a run for its money” but not with 190hp 😂

they should have kept going, optimize the coil pack with 10mm low resistance wires and high end projecting sparkplugs, the air raid TB spacer. i made 202rwhp in my V6 with litterally the exact same mods.

I love the 06-09 front of this mustang. Looks really muscle car. The new 2020 ones are still nice, but this has that classic muscle look. Oof.

It's all about "the build". Too many jokers claim to "build" a car but actually write checks to the shop that actually built the car. Not the same.

Kinda low numbers... Mine made 225rwhp 250rwtq with jlt c.a.i, 93 dyno tune, shorty headers, no cats, pypes m-80's mid mufflers, aluminum driveshaft, 8.8 rearend 4.10 gears. & there are plenty of 4.0 v6's out there in the 400-450rwhp range

Love Pypes.....on the '14 they sound insane!

So there is this dude rygen on drag times had just hit high 8s on the drag strip with a 4.0 v6 mustang he usually hits high 10s. I was looking at his mods and his time slip very impressive i screen shot those lol

When you consider this v6 comes with 210 hp and the 04 Gts only had 260 hp giving it any help would make it keep up with the older V8s. Looking to finally get another mustang and I'm really torn. The 05-10 body style is my favorite BY FAR but exhaust note is also important to me there is no better sounding engine than the 4.6 big price difference between the new edge and the 05+. You can get a new edge GT easily cheaper than an 05+ v6 model so i gotta decide what I want more a V8 or the body style I want. I don't race or speed but I light the tires from time to time and love a good loud exhaust. I'll probably end up going for an 05 v6 with a manual trans. Quick enough to be fun but nothing special and itll look good. Who knows.

Yep that’s right the v6 looks like the v8 they look just as good I just like the feeling of a v8 pulling

KZfaq just took me to seeing Justin 7 years younger in seconds hahaha. Crazy.

The numbers may look impressive, but in reality the car won't be noticeably faster (without the gear swap in the rear end). The gear change is what's making the most difference. I'm not trying to sound like I'm bashing the parts, because the truth is I'm guilty of adding pretty much all of the same bolt ons. The issue is cost per performance gained. Most of the parts cost in the $300 plus range and some are even more than that. They probably spent $1500 or more for that 22 hp gain, and that's not including the labor for those that don't turn a wrench. So by the time you've spent enough money to just be close to equal as a 5.0, you could have just bought a GT. and the aftermarket for a 5.0 is almost unrivaled.

Nice there is plenty 4.0 v6 mustangs running 9's and 10's

This with a cam would actually be pretty cool! I think I'm gonna do that with mine Summit Racing still makes 2 different cam for the 4.0 still

I own a 97 cobra and a 07 v6 mustang and i love em both the v6 is a good daily fs

This sounds like my v6 mustang it's had a lot more work done to it and it keeps up with a camaro that makes 375 so i make a lot more power but my exhaust is a lot louder and more v8 ish at idle and thumps really hard then it has the high pitch acceleration I love the sounds

in order for this to run with a v8 you would have to build it, cam it, and meth it...that pushes about 450hp. or you could throw a turbo on it and get even more power

I like that exhaust note. Wonder if those mufflers will fit my 2011 GT.

Not a fan of V6 Mustangs but that thing sounds nice. Like a 350z VQ35

I just picked up a 2018 Camaro RS 2 L turbo with all the performents pack with the Brembo brakes, performance suspension, oil cooler, lsd cooler and much more

That v6 sounds great

Everyone here owns a ford except for this guys right here

I have a 2009 mustang 4.0 v6 I am inspired by a guy on youtube by the name of badwolf he has a 2006 4.0 v6 mustang turbo and other mods and beating gt and gt500 at the drag strip. Right now I am going to order pypes mid x pipes dual exhaust and bama tuner. My next upgrade would be a turbo ball bearing 57mm.

I’ve seen that v6 pro charged with a centrifugal and I’m telling you it’s a plane

you don't understand Americans. The V8s are popular because they're fast but also because of how they sound and drive. Instant power, no sitting around waiting for a turbo to spool up. Keep your I6

I owe a 05 V6 but I see it more as a cruiser than a sport cars which is fine with me personally. Specially in the summer nights. I wouldn’t mod it tho since it won’t give the performance that a V8 can.

170 whp 1996-1998 mustang gts

I have a V8 Mustang now and its awesome, my first car was a 2010 Mustang V6 with a badass bodykit and brutal exhaust. It was such a fun car. Both are awesome and cool cars. (But forget the ecoboost mustang, these really are just for women)

nothings wrong with a v6.. why so much hating? its a great lookin car with lots of potential n better on gas. its nice to have an option. theres something for everyone. some people juss want the mustang looks.

After the first mod it all about who has the deeper pockets lol and no stupid stock Camry could be a mustang gt haha but that was a good rant.

Are all these upgrades for a manual transmission? would it work for an automatic as well?

Dang that thing sounds good for a V6.

I liked all the black marks in the street at the beginning. I bet everyone does a burnout everyday they leave that place.

I presume these numbers are wheel horse power figures? At the crank a V6 should be making 210. The only way to make big power gains in a V6 is with a Vortech supercharger bolt on kit. With engine mods and the bolt on, it's possible to get 350bhp approx from a V6. Would cost about $10k to do though.

my wife and i have a 05 v6 automatic. has headers, flowmaster 2 1/2 inch exhaust. custom tune, gears,and couple little mods and car runs awesome. check out my video spanking a 93 z28. ive outran a 97 gt 5 speed, a 02 gt 5 speed, a 01 duramax with efi live, built trans, intake, air d

I'd like to know if its possible to get the 2006 V6 Mustang naturally up to 210 HP (without turbo or supercharge) like it was advertised when it was being sold. That would be nice.

are these good cars to abuse? I have a 2010 4.0 v6 I really want step on it but I also need it to last? or what mods will help it be more reliable for pulls

so glad we have the 3.7 now lmao

I'm putting a coyote in mine over the winter. I can't wait.

Im not sure wich ones your talking about. I know someone with the new V6 and i have another buddy that has a older 2V 4.6 with PI heads and exhaust work and he walked the V6 by a wide margin. It might have 305 HP But if im not mistaken it has only 280 Torque. Torque is what wins races

did you guys swap the rear too or kept the stock 7.5 rear? I wanna put the lsd and 4.10 gears in my v6 but im unsure how much power that rear will handle. also no forced induction just bolt ons and a tune

What spoiler does this car have, it looks sweet I want to change my to something sleeker.

Jkaser...im putting mine on the dyno October 2...hope to get those kinda numbers...everything is the same but i don't have the 8.8 with 4:10's or driveshaft..not yet at least:D

Aye Yo They Stole My Ride!!

Thank god they made this video now I can’t get a better car because all those upgrades for 16 hp gains no thanks I’m saving up for a 2015 mustang gt or 2014 coyote and selling my v6

I'm not bragging. Only reason I spend money on modding my car is to go to the track. I love me a nice luxury car...M6 please.

The '11+ V-6's run right around the same as the 99-04 GTs stock so yeah, it could embarass some older V-8's. I was referring to this video though, looking at the 05-09 V-6's, which aren't nearly as impressive.

Bash the 4.0 but it’s a tank of an engine. It can take much more than they give it here because this is just stage 1

0 to 60 run?

those are peak gains but other points in the curve there are 22HP gains

people mod four bangers all the time so why not v-6's?

Does the Catback fit only the GT like the website says or will this also work on a regular V6?

The link to the 4:10 gears and the limited slip are no good... And the first mod is an exhaust but the link says its not applicable for the V6, yet I remind you this is a v6 power up video.

just recently brought a 2005 premium v6 mustang what upgrades and additions would u recommend

Hi Justin!

if you posted this in 1995 it would make more sense.

I like the 4.0 though I respect mustang purists and understand where they are coming from for example I hate the vr38 v6 because we all know the rb26 straight 6 is the true skyline gtr motor like a v8 is mustangs the true haters are the ones that can't wrap their head around a v6 being fast mustang or not

Appearance would look good on a GT.

does anyone know if upgrading coil packs really adds horsepower? anyone personal experiences? dynotestings?

Toyota’s 4.0 V6 will eat it for lunch

I'd say there was something wrong with the 07 GT you were running. But a 2011 V6 isn't anything to scoff at, I was referring to this video which was showing an 05-09 V6.

Can you put this package together in the order that works best for someone that can’t do it all at once.

Are the American muscle logos available and if so how can I purchase them

Thanks Guys I ask , as I am in England running a 06 Legend Lime 4,0 V6 Saleen clone, IE full body kit, 20 " Saleen chrome rims, The car at the moment has Full S/Steel Saleen style Performance Exhaust, also a Performance Accel Coil Pack Super EDIS , and Airaid cold air Filter , but running without a tune, So my next step is a tune, over here in the UK Unleaded Petrol or Gas , is 95 Ron, Super unleaded is 98 Ron. I think that is 91 93 US octane , but not 100% sure on that . Is it worth me also fitting the Throttle body Spacer, or is that just a gimmick . Many thanks AM great posts , Cheers Pete

Still waiting for a bolton buildup for a 3.7 and a mach1/01 cobra

Just fine

The Pypes Mid-Muffler Exhaust can also fit on a v6? Does it need any mods?

In the description, the exhaust shows me it doesn’t not fit the v6 mustang, I’m confused?

If you can afford all those upgrades you can certainly afford to upgrade and get a v8 gt. You can find a 05 gt for like 7000

for a little more money then the diff and gears ,you could install a 8.8 rear .which would allow for boost .

I have a 06 V6 and when they ask me why not a V8 I ask them why didn't you get a Gt 350 or a GT 500

A muscle car supposed to be v8, but who cares, at the end of the day you are driving a car you like yourself. I'm a 2014 5.0 mustang owner, I'm not hating, it's just an opinion

cool ...! keep it up

"on the track to embarrass some v-8s"

So the power, and gear changes, hows the fuel economy? reason for a v6 for v8

What is the color of this car?
